In order to ensure that payment and settlement transactions that support economic activities take place smoothly, payment and settlement systems, comprised of payment instruments, payment systems, and participating institutions, need to be managed and operated in a stable and efficient manner.In its capacity as the central bank, the Bank of Korea (BOK) plays a pivotal role in ensuring the smooth operation and development of payment and settlement systems in Korea, in accordance with the Bank of Korea Act. The BOK operates BOK-Wire+, a large-value payment system that finalizes settlements between financial institutions, and provides financial institutions with intra-day liquidity support to resolve settlement risks, such as those arising from settlement delays. The BOK also conducts oversight of payment and settlement systems by monitoring and assessing operating institutions and by making recommendations for improvements as necessary.The Payment and Settlement Systems Report 2024 summarizes the BOK’s work during 2024 re-lated to the operation, oversight, and innovation of payment and settlement systems, including changes made to them in the period up to March 2025, and sets out future policy directions. The goal of this report is to enable system participants and the public to gain a greater overall under-standing of the various payment and settlement systems in Korea.Excerpts from the Bank of Korea ActAr ticle 28.
