Abstract

In the chapter on payment systems, the issue of settlement – the final completion of the transaction to the satisfaction of the parties concerned – was largely deferred, because it is a much more substantive issue in the context of securities transactions. In the case of unidirectional payments, only one transaction has to be completed. However, in the case of securities, the security has to be ‘delivered’ to the purchaser in return for the payment.1 This creates two complications, first the matching of the two legs of the transaction and second that an additional system is required that holds and allocates titles to the securities. The first complication also exists where one payment is made in return for another as for example in currency transactions. The key issue here, however, is that several further layers are required in the transaction process.
