BUILDING THE CORE IDEA OF SETTLEMENT
If a payment is a journey, settlement is where the journey is completed.
When money moves from the UK to Zimbabwe, different institutions may handle different parts of the process.
But eventually, the institutions involved have to settle with each other so the recipient can receive the money.
That is the core idea:
Move the value → clear the obligations → settle the payment.
The better this process works, the faster and more efficiently money can move across borders.

Understanding settlement means understanding what happens behind the money you send home.
