Spread can be handled in a variety of ways. In its default configuration it is very simple, but there are many ways of customising it for the more discerning customer.

• None, net or full spread
• Different spread up/spread down
• Diversified spread allows individual spread based on volume, country and participant.
• A variety of spread reports allow the netting centre to determine the direct profit from spread and to evaluate the cost per participant.

Pools are sometimes known as Sub-Netting Centres. NT Netting caters for multi-currency local pools and single-currency global pools. It also caters for nesting of these pools.

Pools can be configured to act as participants also, meaning they can make payments like a normal participant.

A pool’s message will contain complete payment instructions (in SWIFT format if preferred) for all the payments to the participants and the Netting Centre.

It is possible to mark a participant as an internal company, thereby preventing the generation of payment instructions to this company. This allows various unusual bank account configurations to be catered for.

It is possible to exact a charge for each payment. This charge can be based on the country of the participant or be a group wide default. Participants can be excluded from this charging scheme as required. This provides an alternative means of charging the participants for the netting. It can be used in conjunction with any spread settings.
