Network Migration

print this page

The upgrade of the technical and network infrastructure used for clearing retail payments and lodging settlement data involves migration from legacy bilateral links between banks and other cleareres to a new common network: the Telstra COIN administered by APCA. The new arrangements also cater for file exchanges using SWIFT.

In consultation with APCA and individual institutions, a target migration schedule has been agreed. Information on the timetable and scope of the Low Value Network Migration is provided in the Low Value Network Migration Project: Timetable and Scope Information Paper, February 2010 (PDF).

The Reserve Bank is a sender and receiver of clearing and settlement-related files and, as such, is a link partner in the industry network migration. The Payments Network Connectivity: Partner Migration Information Paper, December 2009 (PDF) provides information to link partners for their network migrations with the Reserve Bank using either the Telstra COIN or SWIFT.
