About TARGET2  

TARGET2 (Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer System) is the real-time gross settlement (RTGS) system for the Eurozone, and is available to non-Eurozone countries. TARGET2 is a payment system owned and operated by the Eurosystem. It is the leading European platform for processing large-value payments and is used by both central banks and commercial banks to process payments in euro in real time.

How does TARGET2 work? 

The platform is owned and managed by the Eurosystem. Put simply, it works as follows: 

• Bank A and Bank B both have accounts with a central bank 
• A payment in euro is to be made from Bank A to Bank B 
• Bank A submits the payment instructions to TARGET2 
• Bank A’s account is debited, and Bank B’s account is credited – the payment is settled 
• TARGET2 transfers the payment information to Bank B
