FI to FI Customer Credit Transfer

Instruct participants to make payments to beneficiaries in other jurisdictions

Overview

FI to FI Customer Credit Transfer, also known as "PayAway," facilitates cross-border payments between instructing participants and end beneficiaries in different jurisdictions. In this process, you can make payments to non-domestic jurisdictions through instructed participants on the RTGS.global network. The instructed participants, who receive the payment instructions, are responsible for processing the payment onward to the end beneficiary.

To make a payment, you must have a relationship with the instructed participant. See Discovery Service on how to form relationships.

Process

  1. Send FI to FI Customer Credit Transfer payment instruction (pacs.008) via the PayAway API

  2. RTGS.global performs validation checks, debits your account and credits the instructed participant's account - balances are immediately updated and (camt.054) notifications are generated

  3. Payment instructions are sent to the instructed participant for onward processing

Note - PayAway are same currency (e.g. EUR to EUR) transactions

Use case (to diagram below):

EU Bank’s customer needs to pay $s to an end beneficiary in the US. EU Bank isn’t a $ payment rails member, but it can make $ payments via RTGS.global (using its $ balances on its $ network acc), instructing a PayAway request to US Bank
