Payments here and there,
But How does 𝐒𝐖𝐈𝐅𝐓 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥-𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 system work?

The diagram below, by Hua Li, shows how SWIFT Real-Time Retail Payments Systems (RT RPS) work.

It is implemented for Australia’s New Payments Platform (NPP). This is available on a 24/7/365 basis.

► Steps 1️⃣ and 2️⃣ - The payer initiates a transfer transaction via the bank’s 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐬 (online banking, mobile phone, and branch).

The bank channels can resolve the payer’s identifications into account numbers by talking to the 𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞.

► Step 3️⃣ - The payer’s bank sends a message with payment details to the payee’s bank. This is done via SWIFT Payment Gateway (PAG).

Then the payee’s bank confirms the details and sends back a response.

The PAGs compose Domestic Messaging Channel (DMC), which is an in-country messaging solution.

► Steps 4️⃣ and 5️⃣ - The payer side PAG sends a settlement request via DMC to the central bank.

The central bank then sends a 𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 to both the payer’s bank and the payee’s bank.

► Step 6️⃣ - The payee’s bank then credits the payee after receiving a settlement confirmation.

► Step 8️⃣ - The PAG supports APIs that enable value-added services (𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬), such as personal identifier/alias resolution, fraud detection and e-commerce services, mobile, and e-invoicing functions.
