Decision on the Manner of Performance of Payment Transactions Through the Money Account of a Legal Person Carrying Out Clearing and Settlement of Financial Instruments
The Governor of the National Bank of Serbia issued this Decision to regulate payment transactions through the money accounts of the Central Securities Depository and Clearing House and specific foreign legal persons. It mandates that settlement orders be executed exclusively via the gross principle in the NBS RTGS system, requiring account balances to be zero at the start and end of business days with limited exceptions for cross-time-zone delays. This regulation repeals the previous 2021 Decision and entered into force on 25 October 2022, applying prospectively from 5 January 2023.
