4. *Flow #1: BASIC CUSTOMER CREDIT TRANSFER FLOW (The Happy flow) 1. The Debtor initiates a credit transfer to the Debtor Agent, using a pain.001 or similar message. 2. Based on the credit transfer initiation message, the Debtor Agent sends a pacs.008 to the MI which sendson the message to the Creditor Agent. 3. The Creditor Agent validates the pacs.008 and sends a positive pacs.002 back to the MI to confirm that the message was valid. 4. The MI then delivers a pacs.002 to the Debtor Agent and to the Creditor Agent to advise that the transaction has been completed. 5. Upon receipt of the pacs.002 from the Central Switch, the Debtor Agent will notify the Debtor and the Creditor Agent will notify the Creditor that the Transaction was successfully completed.

5. Flow #2: Rejection By Creditor Bank (Account Closed) (An Unhappy Flow) DEBTOR AGENT CREDITOR AGENT DEBTOR CREDITOR x Account Closed 1. The Debtor initiates a credit transfer initiation message, using a pain.001 or similar message, to the Debtor Agent. MI Clearing Payment initiation Clearing Cash Management 2. Based on the credit transfer initiation message, the Debtor Agent sends a pacs.008 to the MI which then sends the message to the Creditor Agent. 1 PACS.008 2 PACS.008 2 3 3. The Creditor Agent conducts the necessary checks and notices the Creditor account is closed. The Agent will reject the pacs.008 by sending a negative pacs.002 with the appropriate reason code for rejection to the MI. PACS.002 3 PACS.002 4 4. The MI will then deliver a pacs.002 to the Debtor Agent to advise that the transaction was not completed. 5 Note: Account Closed is one of a number of reasons a transaction may be rejected.

6. ISO 20022 RTPG Message Flows Flow #3: Pain.013 and pain.014 (Optional Service) 1. The Creditor initiates the request for payment to the Creditor Agent (using a pain.013 or similar message). 2. The Creditor Agent will initiate a pain.013 message directly or via the MI to the Debtor Agent. 3. The Debtor Agent notifies the Debtor of the payment request and responses in accordance with the scheme rules. 4. In the event of a negative response, a need to provide information, or a change in the payment details, the Debtor may respond using a pain.014+ (or similar message) to the Debtor Agent with appropriate response included. 5. The Debtor Agent delivers the response to the Creditor Agent, directly or via the MI, using a pain.014. 6. The Creditor Agent notifies the Creditor of the Debtor s response as appropriate using the pain.014 or similar message. 7. In the event of a positive response, the Debtor may initiate a payment instruction to the Debtor Agent* and a process flow largely in the form of Flow #1 shall take place. CREDITOR AGENT DEBTOR CREDITOR DEBTOR AGENT MI Clearing Payment initiation Clearing Cash Management 1 PAIN.013 2 PAIN.013 2 3 4 PAIN.014 5 PAIN.014 5 + Pain.014 should be used to provide a negative response to a pain.013 or an amendment to the pain.013. * This step is dependant on the service offerings of the Debtor Agent. Usually the Debtor Agent would create the pacs.008 as a service to its client. 6 ISO 20022 RTPG Message Flows Page 6

10. ISO 20022 RTPG Message Flows SETTLEMENT MODELS DEFERED NET SETTLEMENT MODEL Description: Model where real time transactions are settled in batches on a net basis at the end of a pre-defined settlement cycle or more than once per day. This settlement system requires collateralized participation Advantages: Reduction in stress to the settlement system Saves on the liquidity for participants Disadvantages: Overnights and weekends are typically high credit risk times for participants Posting transactions before they are settled also creates credit risk and liquidity costs Usages: China, Denmark, India, Japan, Singapore, South Korean, South Africa and UK ISO 20022 RTPG Message Flows 10

11. ISO 20022 RTPG Message Flows SETTLEMENT MODELS Cont d REAL TIME SETTLEMENT Description: Real-time settlement: the immediate or near immediate settlement of each real time transaction exchanged between an originator and receiving entity Settlement occurs at the Central Bank in real time Typically requires participants to maintain prefunded settlement accounts at the Central bank to ensure adequate funding for transactions. Advantages: Minimal/no settlement system Minimal/no credit risk Disadvantages Highest in liquidity costs for participants Complex liquidity management Inaccessible to smaller FIs, due to high liquidity cost Country Usages Canada, Sweden, Poland, Australia, and TCH ISO 20022 RTPG Message Flows 11

12. ISO 20022 RTPG Message Flows SETTLEMENT MODELS Cont d HYBRID SETTLEMENT SYSTEMS Description: Hybrid settlement systems combine the characteristic of real time settlement and deferred net settlement systems This settlement system support centralized queuing, payment prioritization and reduces payment delays Advantages: Minimal/no participant default risk Minimal/no credit risk Disadvantages Higher liquidity costs for participants Liquidity and risk management through setting value limits Country Usages Brazil, Thailand, Philippines, Peru and Mexico ISO 20022 RTPG Message Flows 12
