Clearing system

Transactions directed to the system are settled within one of three Elixir sessions held each business day and closed on the same day in SORBNET2 system of the National Bank of Poland, which guarantees interbank transfer of funds. Except for exchange of clearing messages the system created by KIR allows the electronic transfer of information between its participants.
