Real-Time Clearing

Faster Account-to-Account Credit Push Payments

Real-Time Clearing (RTC) transactions are credit push payments that enable individuals to make an immediate electronic payment to an account held at their bank or another financial institution. The payment is processed and cleared in real- or near-real-time, but interbank settlement takes place at specific times during each day.

All RTC transactions are account-based and processed via BankservAfrica – South Africa’s payments clearing house – which affects the settlement of these transactions between the involved banks' accounts at the Reserve Bank.
