Real Time Gross Settlement

The Real Time Gross Settlement System (RTGS) system is defined as a system in which both processing and final settlement of funds transfer instructions can take place continuously (i.e. in real time). As it is a real-time settlement system, the system effects final settlement continuously rather than periodically at pre-specified times. Moreover, this settlement process is based on the real-time transfer of money from one bank account to another bank account through State Bank of Pakistan. An RTGS system can thus be characterized as a funds transfer system that is able to provide continuous intraday finality for individual transfers.

The RTGS in Pakistan has been named as Pakistan Real-time Interbank Settlement Mechanism (PRISM).
