CIPS — Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (RMB) — payment-authority governance
CIPS — Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (RMB) — payment-authority governance — 80% of in-scope requirements covered.
6 requirements · 5 in scope (3 enforced · 2 designed) · 1 out-of-scope (outside KYE™’s authority layer). The 80% is weighted over the in-scope base.
Source: The Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS) is the RMB cross-border clearing and settlement system operated by CIPS Co., Ltd. under People's Bank of China oversight, with direct participants settling on CIPS accounts and indirect participants routed through sponsoring direct participants, ISO 20022-based messaging, and RTGS plus hybrid-netting settlement modes. KYE Protocol™ governs the PAYMENT-AUTHORITY dimension of participation: whether an instruction carries a live, purpose-scoped mandate under the participant's trust domain, with the verdict and evidence sealed before the settlement moment. SCOPE GUARD: rows are strictly payment-authority governance — KYE™ takes no position on the content of any jurisdiction's sanctions regime, and financial-crime-screening rows bind only the participant's OWN screening authority and evidence under the laws applicable to that participant; nothing in this mapping weakens, routes around, or evades any screening obligation. · License: The CIPS participant and business rules are publications of CIPS Co., Ltd.; the KYE™ registry paraphrases each requirement's intent and cites the scheme name for mapping purposes only. No scheme text is reproduced.
