Xryma Plc Joins ECB's T2 Real-Time Gross Settlement Network
Cyprus-based Xryma Plc has connected to the ECB's T2 RTGS network, enabling cross-border euro payments to settle in seconds rather than days.
Nicosia-based Xryma Plc, a banking technology group specializing in regulated cross-border open-banking services, has begun operations on the European Central Bank's T2 real-time gross settlement network, the company announced September 24, 2026. The move marks a significant infrastructure upgrade for the firm, positioning it to process international euro transactions at a speed previously unavailable to many non-bank financial players.
The T2 system, operated by the ECB, serves as the backbone of large-value euro payments across the eurozone and beyond. Gaining direct access to this network allows Xryma to settle cross-border euro transfers within seconds rather than the multi-day timelines that have historically characterized international wire transfers routed through correspondent banking chains.
