High-value RTGS settlement
Irrevocable central-bank settlement for large tickets.
When to choose high-value rtgs
Choose RTGS when the amount justifies certainty: large trade invoices, capital equipment, property and settlement-critical obligations. Central-bank finality removes counterparty and reversal risk from the payment itself. Plan around banking-hours cutoffs — an RTGS instruction that misses the window settles the next business day, which matters when a contract deadline is attached.
