Watch the latest episode of our Money Matters podcast 🎙️ about the Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) system with Zach, RTGS Operations Manager here at the Bank.

➡️ The series is designed to help young adults build confidence and improve their understanding around the financial and economic issues that shape their lives.

It brings Bank of England experts and external guests together for an unscripted, accessible, judgement-free conversation about topics that young people say matter most to them – from managing debt, to understanding inflation and navigating the cost of living.

Tom Heath, our quizmaster, takes to the streets to see how much people really know about digital payments.
