TARGET2: The Eurosystem’s real-time gross settlement system
TARGET2 is the real-time gross settlement (RTGS) system owned and operated by the Eurosystem. TARGET stands for Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross settlement Express Transfer system.
TARGET2 is the second generation of TARGET.
Payment transactions in TARGET2 are settled one by one on a continuous basis, in central bank money with immediate finality. There is no upper or lower limit on the value of payments. TARGET2 settles payments related to monetary policy operations, interbank and customer payments, and payments relating to the operations of all large-value net settlement systems and other financial market infrastructures handling the euro (such as securities settlement systems or central counterparties).
TARGET2 is operated on a single technical platform. Business relationships are established between the TARGET2 users and the respective central bank. In terms of the value processed, TARGET2 is one of the largest payment systems in the world.
