Payments and markets glossary

The complete cycle of processing tasks which need to be completed in a typical business day, from start-of-day procedures to end-of-day procedures. This sometimes includes the backing-up of data.

daylight credit

debit card (card with a debit function)

A card enabling its holders to make purchases and/or withdraw cash and have these transactions directly and immediately charged to their accounts, whether these are held with the card issuer or not. See also delayed debit card, payment card

default

An event stipulated in an agreement as constituting a default. Generally, such events relate to a failure to complete a transfer of funds or securities in accordance with the terms and rules of the system in question. A failure to pay or deliver on the due date, a breach of agreement and the opening of insolvency proceedings all constitute such events. See also failed transaction

defaulter pays

A loss-sharing arrangement whereby each participant is required to collateralise any exposures it creates for other participants. As a result, losses resulting from a party’s default are borne by the defaulting party. Antonym: survivors pay

deferred net settlement system

A system which settles on a net basis at the end of a predefined settlement cycle (typically at the end of – but sometimes during – the business day). See also net settlement system

delayed debit card (charge card)

A card enabling its holders to make purchases and/or withdraw cash and have these transactions charged to an account held with the card issuer, up to an authorised limit. The balance of this account is then settled in full at the end of a predefined period. See also payment card

delivery

The transfer of financial instruments or commodities by means of book entry or physical exchange.

delivery versus delivery (DvD)

A securities settlement mechanism which links two securities transfers in such a way as to ensure that the delivery of one security occurs if – and only if – the other security in the other transfer is delivered.

delivery versus payment (DvP)

A securities settlement mechanism which links a securities transfer and a funds transfer in such a way as to ensure that delivery occurs if – and only if – the corresponding payment occurs.

dematerialisation

The elimination of physical certificates or documents of title indicating ownership of financial assets, such that the financial assets exist only as accounting records.

deposit facility

A standing facility of the Eurosystem which counterparties may use to make overnight deposits at a national central bank. Such deposits are remunerated at a pre-specified interest rate. See also standing facility

depository

An agent with the primary role of recording (direct or indirect) holdings of securities. A depository may also act as a registrar (cf. custodian).

derivative

digital payment token

A digital representation of value backed by claims or assets denominated in euro or redeemable in euro, or referring to other digital assets that are accepted under the rules of an electronic payment instrument scheme for payment purposes or to discharge payment obligations in euro, and which enables the transfer of value between end users. Depending on the underlying design, digital payment tokens can be used to effect a transfer of value without necessarily involving a central third party and/or using payment accounts. The term digital payment token excludes the “tokenisation” of sensitive data by a surrogate value which is conducted for security reasons to protect the original data and where the token does not represent an asset or claim recorded elsewhere.

digital signature

See electronic signature (digital signature)

digital wallet (electronic wallet)

A service that enables end users to initiate transfers of value by storing secure information related to the electronic payment instruments required to initiate the transfers. It can also be used to register and hold personalised security credentials. Depending on its design, a wallet can be used, before or during a payment process, to fund a payer account linked to the wallet and offered by the wallet provider with funds or digital payment tokens. It can also provide the payee with information related to the payment instrument without being linked to such an account.

direct clearing member

A member of a clearing house that clears on its own behalf and on behalf of its customers. See also clearing member, general clearing member, non-clearing member

direct debit

A set of procedures enabling a transfer of value by debiting a payer’s user account. A payment transaction is initiated by the payee on the basis of the consent given by the payer to the payee, to the payee’s payment service provider, or to the payer’s own payment service provider.

direct holding system

An arrangement for registering ownership of securities (or similar interests) whereby each and every final investor in the security is registered with a single entity (e.g. the issuer itself, a central securities depository (CSD) or a registry).

See also indirect link, investor CSD, operated direct link, relayed link
