Core Infrastructure

The Payment Rails That Power the Confederacy

NSB Pay operates the real-time gross settlement system, automated clearing house, and securities settlement infrastructure — the backbone of every payment in the Confederacy's financial system.

Primary Rail

RTGS

Real-Time Gross Settlement

Real-time settlement of high-value payments between financial institutions. Final, irrevocable settlement in central bank money — the highest standard of payment finality.

  • Instant final settlement
  • Central bank money
  • Liquidity savings mechanisms
  • Queue management & prioritisation

ACH

Automated Clearing House

Batch processing of retail payments — salaries, benefits, bill payments, and direct debits. Efficient net settlement with multilateral netting to optimise liquidity.

  • Batch & continuous processing
  • Multilateral netting
  • Direct debit infrastructure
  • Same-day settlement cycles

DVP

Securities Settlement

Delivery-versus-payment securities settlement — ensuring that securities and funds move simultaneously, eliminating settlement risk for all market participants.

  • DVP Model 1 settlement
  • Central securities depository link
  • Corporate action processing
  • Collateral management integration
