Welcome address

Non-time critical (NTC) payments in TARGET Instant Payment Settlement (TIPS) would be a new functionality which allows for a tailored payment processing based on the criticality of the payment. Discover what benefits this would bring to payment service providers (PSPs) and the purpose for implementation.
