I’m not sure I understand the payment process.

Please, could you confirm if the following is accurate? Thanks you so much.

Vanguard has a dollar denominated account at Barclays U.K.

Barclays U.K. has a dollar denominated deposit at Barclays U.S.

Deutsche Bank U.K. has a dollar denominated deposit at Deutsche Bank U.S.

Vanguard orders Barclays U.K. to pay 10.000 $ to Deutsche Bank U.K. (payment for the C.P.)

Barclays U.K. instructs Barclays U.S. to debit his account by 10.000 $ and transfer that sum to Deutsche Bank U.S.

Reserves (10.000 $) are wired to Deutsche Bank U.S. and then Deutsche Bank U.S. credits the dollar denominated account belonging to Deutsche Bank U.K. by 10.000 $.

10.000 $ (deposit) have been extinguished in Barclays U.K. account belonging to Vanguard (replaced by C.P.) and in Barclays U.K. account at Barclays U.S.

10.000 $ (deposit) have been added in Deutsche Bank U.K. account at Deutsche Bank U.S.

10.000 $ (reserves) have been extinguished in Barclays U.S. master account at the FED and 10.000 $ (reserves) credited in Deutsche Bank U.S. master account at the FED.

Nice one Conks! Definitely cleared up a couple misconceptions I had about the ED system, but most importantly it frames the transition to the new SOFR based secured funding model. Can’t wait for the next piece. Thanks for your good work!
