Clearing House Interbank Payments System 

CHIPS. A privately-held transferral system that allows banks to settle transactions with each other electronically. It primarily deals with large-value fund transfers, with daily totals of more than $1 trillion. CHIPS is used for transactions that are less time-sensitive, contrary to Fedwire, and has fewer members making transfers. It settles transactions by netting.
