Israel's RTGS processes ILS settlements and Tel Aviv is the Middle East's premier high-tech and venture capital hub — known as "Start-Up Nation" for its disproportionate density of technology companies. Bank Hapoalim, Bank Leumi, Discount Bank, and Mizrahi-Tefahot are the primary SWIFT correspondents, processing US and European technology investment flows, defence contract payments, diamond trade finance, and agricultural export proceeds.
| RTGS / Settlement System | RTGS (Bank of Israel — BOI) |
|---|---|
| Currency | ILS — Israeli New Shekel |
| Central Bank | Bank of Israel |
| Typical SWIFT Timing | 1–3 days (international SWIFT) |
Most international SWIFT wires arrive in Israel within 2–5 business days. Payments cleared through correspondent banks may take longer depending on intermediary routing and local cut-off times.
Israel processes large-value interbank settlements through RTGS. Retail transfers typically use ACH or local clearing networks, while cross-border wires enter via SWIFT.
The primary settlement currency is ILS — Israeli New Shekel. Foreign-currency wires are converted at the receiving bank's prevailing rate unless a specific currency account is held at the beneficiary institution.
