GENERAL BACKGROUND Functions of Payment System: Clearing process of transmitting, reconciling and in some cases confirming payment orders or security transfer prior to settlement Settlement act of transferring good and final funds between two parties. Types of Settlement: Designated-time net settlement (DNS) running balances are calculated on a bilateral or multilateral basis for each participant vis-àvis the other participants, and only net amounts are settled at prespecified times during the day.
