RTGS/SWIFT/TARGET2
RTGS/SWIFT/TARGET2 menu allows you to initiate a credit transaction to any bank using the SWIFT, TARGET2, and RTGS network.
SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) provides a network for financial institutions to send and receive information about financial transactions all over the world in a secure environment.
TARGET2 (Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer System) network is used for transactions in the Euro zone.
RTGS ((Real Time Gross Settlement) the Reserve Bank of India (India's Central Bank) maintains this payment network.)) is used to transfer funds from one bank to other on a real time and on gross basis. Settlement in Real Time means payment transactions are not subjected to any waiting period. The transactions are settled as soon as they are processed. Gross settlement means the transaction is settled on one to one basis without bunching or netting with any other transaction. Once processed, payments are final and irrevocable.
RTGS systems are typically used for high-value transactions that require immediate clearing.
