Reserve Bank of New Zealand is set to review its NZClear and ESAS high value settlement systems as it expects major upgrades in the coming 2 – 4 years.

Ernst and Young will support the bank in the review process to create a strategy for the development of payment and settlement services.

The bank will initially assess market requirements, consider alternatives for service delivery, and seek input from users and then develop a strategy to ensure that settlement systems remain fit for purpose.

Reserve Bank CFO, Mike Wolyncewicz, said: "The last significant upgrade to the application software for ESAS and NZClear was six years ago, and technology has changed markedly since then.

"Through Ernst and Young, the Bank will be consulting with ESAS account holders, NZClear members and industry bodies, early in 2014."
