RELATED CONCEPT
Cut-Off Time
A cut-off time is the latest clock time—relative to a named settlement calendar—after which new payment instructions roll to a later value date or are rejected for that cycle.
FINANCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE CONCEPT
Value Date
Value date is the calendar date on which a payment is intended to affect interest, availability, or nostro books for settlement purposes.
Architectural context & analysis
Acceptance date and value date can differ when cut-off has passed or product rules require future value.
Reconciliation and liquidity projections must group by value date, not only by message timestamp.
Worked operational scenario
An instruction accepted Friday after cut-off carries Monday value date on both ledger reservation and nostro expectation.
Implementation considerations & controls
Holiday calendars must be versioned per currency corridor.
