What is High Value Payment Monitoring
The difference between low and high value payments
Banks separate payment processing into two (or more) separate payment streams, low and high value. High value payments refer to transactions that are usually conducted interbank, and settled on the same day. High value payment systems apply to transactions that occur in the financial market, such as payments between financial institutions or financial intermediaries and have very high dollar value.
High value transactions are processed using real time message-based gross settlement (RTGS).
Low value payments are usually retail payments that are often dealt with in batch processing based net settlement systems.
How does a high value payment monitoring system help my business?
Businesses depends on a quality payment monitoring system to oversee the high value and priority payments flowing through their systems.
A payment monitoring system allows you to see the payments have been processed in real time, and provides broad and specific visibility into accounts and account status. It also sends alerts if anomalies occur in real time and before they impact the customer or the settlement accounts.
Retaining customer trust is important and without the oversight provided by a high value payment monitoring system, it can be jeopardised if payments are not processed correctly. The ability to monitor high value payments precisely and accurately prevents any issues that can impact negatively on credit ratings or attract regulatory penalties.
Analysis of your payment data can also help with making the right business decisions at the right time.
