TARGET2 / T2 RTGS (ECB) — payment-authority governance incl. Settlement Finality Directive 98/26/EC
TARGET2 / T2 RTGS (ECB) — payment-authority governance incl. Settlement Finality Directive 98/26/EC — 90% of in-scope requirements covered.
7 requirements · 5 in scope (4 enforced · 1 designed) · 2 out-of-scope (outside KYE™’s authority layer). The 90% is weighted over the in-scope base.
Source: Guideline (EU) 2022/912 of the European Central Bank on a new-generation Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer system (TARGET) (ECB/2022/8), including the harmonised conditions for participation in Annex I, together with Directive 98/26/EC on settlement finality in payment and securities settlement systems (moment-of-entry and irrevocability points). KYE Protocol™ governs the PAYMENT-AUTHORITY dimension of participation: whether an instruction (human- or AI-agent-originated) carries a live, purpose-scoped mandate, with the verdict and evidence sealed BEFORE the SFD finality moment. KYE™ does not effect settlement, provide liquidity, or confer legal finality. · License: The TARGET Guideline and the Settlement Finality Directive are EU legal acts (EUR-Lex); the KYE™ registry paraphrases each requirement's intent and cites the instrument for mapping purposes only.
