This morning, we experienced a technical issue which prevented us from opening our real-time gross settlement (RTGS) service and CHAPS high value payments system. The issue has been resolved and settlement will resume shortly.

The issue has been resolved and all CHAPS payments submitted to the Bank are settling normally. We do not anticipate that there will be any outstanding payments to settle when we close the system this evening.
