Introduction:

Saudi interbank payment systems represent a structured financial infrastructure that enables real time and high value fund transfers across banking institutions through centralized platforms. SARIE and RTGS systems connect banks through controlled processing, settlement mechanisms, and liquidity management structures under central bank oversight. This training program presents transaction flows, settlement architectures, operational controls, and regulatory frameworks that define domestic interbank payment environments. It provides an institutional perspective on how banks initiate, process, reconcile, and monitor interbank transfers within structured payment ecosystems.
