An interbank payment system is a network that facilitates the transfer of funds between different financial institutions. These systems are crucial for the functioning of the broader economy, enabling banks to settle transactions with each other. They operate at the wholesale level, processing large volumes and values of payments. Central banks often oversee these critical financial infrastructures to ensure stability.
Context

This evolution aims to enhance the speed and security of wholesale financial transactions.
