TARGET2 for professional use

T2, one of the TARGET Services, has now replaced TARGET2 as the Eurosystem’s real-time gross settlement (RTGS) system. This change will be soon reflected on our website.

Core information on TARGET2

National contacts

The contact point for TARGET2 users is the national service desk at their respective national central bank.

Out of the 27 EU Member States the only ones currently not connected to TARGET2 are the Czech Republic, Hungary and Sweden.

Non-TARGET2 users can email their questions to the TARGET2 hotline.

Shared features

A number of components will be shared across the TARGET Services. We created a new page that offers a single point of access to information about the TARGET Services Common components and other shared features.
