Real Time Gross Settlement

Real time gross settlements (RTGS) systems are a type of database technology that domestic settlement and clearing systems are based on. RTGS systems are responsible for batching financial transactions between bank or other financial institutions and netting out transactions between parties so that payments can be settled on a periodic or real-time basis.
