Instant Payments in Belgium In January 2016, a formal project covering instant payments was set up within Febelfin. The Belgian Banks, represented in/by Febelfin and members of the CEC mandated the CEC to sign a letter of intent with STET with the aim to develop instant payments for the CEC, the Belgian Clearing System. The solution will be fully compliant with the EPC SCT Instant Rulebook and will apply the conditions set forward by the Eurosystem regarding the settlement of instant payments. The system will be ready for testing in September 2017. The Belgian banking community has the intention to launch instant payments in the second half of 2018 (to be decided). Event dd month yyyy 4
Eurosystem conditions on clearing arrangements for pan-european instant payments in euro 1. A single model for settlement via Target 2 : TARGET2 ASI model6 real-time PSP s transfer liquidity to a technical account of the CSM within T2 to prefund payments. CSM will keep track of the positon of the PSP (based on position in technical account & settled instant payments). No squaring within T2, balances remain untouched,except in case of funding/defunding by a PSP. 2. A single risk management model: full prefunding in cash of clearing members positions but post-funding for inter CSM settlement 3. A common access policy: all CSM s should be able to exchange payment messages and settle directly between themselves without requiring an intermediary bank Event dd month yyyy 5
