About RTGS payments

What is a RTGS payment

Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) payments allow you to transfer funds from your Australia domiciled AUD account registered to ANZ Transactive Global, to a beneficiary's Australia domiciled AUD account. Payments are processed same day, rather than overnight. If you import a MT101 file, each payment instruction in the file is processed as a single batch.

Payment method rules for RTGS payments

  • Value date will default with the current or next business date if the payment is created on a non-business date or after payment cut-off
  • Non-business day - ANZ Transactive Global will not allow you to create a payment where the Value Date is a non-business day (e.g., weekend, public holiday, bank holiday) or a currency holiday
  • Future value date can be selected up to 60 days
  • Cut-off time for RTGS payments is 16:00 - 16:30 AEST/ADST
  • Payment currency and debit currency is AUD only
  • Maximum payment value is $99,999,999,999.99
  • Maximum number of payment instructions is 5,000 in a batch

Who can create a RTGS payment?

  • Eligible users with Payment Management role permissions and account access can create and manage a RTGS payment based on your organisation's predetermined user permissions and payment settings. These role permissions can include:
    • Manage Payments - Adhoc (Adhoc & Approved Beneficiaries)
    • Manage Payments - Approved Beneficiary / Templates
    • Manage Payments - Import Payments
  • Only users who are entitled to the Confidential Data Group will be able to view and action payments when the Confidential Data Group option is selected.
