Connectivity

The TARGET Services Connectivity Guide describes in general terms the connectivity to the Eurosystem Single Market Infrastructure Gateway (ESMIG). The ESMIG provides a single ac-cess point for directly connected actors to access TARGET Services. Access to the ESMIG is provided by the two Network Service Providers (NSP) selected by the Eurosystem, which are SIA-COLT and SWIFT. 

The message exchange with TIPS is described in the MEPT documents (Message Exchange Processing for TIPS).
