Transactions Cleared on an Immediate Basis
(TCIB) Payment Stream

Since The SADC-RTGS payment went live in 2013 with High Value Payments, there have been additional opportunities in SADC (and impacts as a result):

  • An opportunity to increase financial inclusion
  • An opportunity to decrease the costs of cross-border remittances.

The TCIB Payment Steam facilitates these low value cross-border payments (originating from e-wallets, bank accounts or cash-in) to either a mobile or bank account or cash pay-out.
