The standardised process allows participating banks to obtain liquidity against mortgages and securities, with pilot testing scheduled until mid-2026 and full operation beginning in 2027. The SNB has published essential guidelines, instruction sheets, and collateral conditions to prepare eligible counterparties for the facility's implementation.
