Instruction No. 6/2026 BO No. 8/2026 • 2026/08/17 .................................................................................................................................................................................................. Topics Payment Systems :: Large Payment System Mod. 99999940/T – 01/14 Index Text of the Instruction Text of the Instruction Subject: TARGET-PT Regulation Following the publication of European Central Bank Guidance (EU) 2026/1473 of 4 May 2026 amending Guidance (EU) 2022/912 on a new generation pan-European real-time gross settlement automated transfer system (TARGET) (ECB/2022/8) (ECB/2026/11), it is necessary to amend Bank of Portugal Instruction No. 16/2022 of 17 October 2022, which implements ECB Guidance ECB/2022/8 in the domestic legal order.

Following the decision of 11 June 2021, where the ECB Council decided that the functionality of the TARGET instant payment settlement service (TIPS) for settlement in different currencies (inter-division) is consistent with the Eurosystem's strategic objectives, TIPS will allow, from 14 November 2026, the sending and receiving of payments by or to TIPS participants who adhere to the SEPA One-Leg Out Instant Credit Transfer (OCT Inst) mechanism of the European Payments Council (EPC).

This amendment also introduces, from 25 June 2026, a facility that will allow participants to better manage their liquidity, making automatic liquidity transfers possible between a participant's main cash accounts (MCA) and its dedicated TIPS cash accounts (DCA TIPS), in the event of non-compliance with a minimum or maximum limit set by the participant.

The fees applicable to holders of dedicated cash accounts for real-time gross settlement (DCA RTGS) are also amended, effective from 1 July 2026.

It is also necessary to clarify the eligibility regime applicable to candidates subject to restrictive measures adopted by the Council of the European Union or by Member States under Article 65(1)(b), Article 75, or Article 215 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, with effects comparable to situations of near-insolvency, ensuring proportional treatment of such candidates and limiting, for this purpose, the discretionary power of the TARGET component operator.

Thus, exercising the competence attributed to it by Article 14 of its Organic Law, which confers powers to regulate, supervise and promote the proper functioning of payment systems,
