Netting


Definition
The settlement of obligations between two parties that processes the combined value of transactions. It is designed to lower the number of transactions required. For example, if Bank A owed Bank B $100,000, and Bank B owed Bank A $25,000, the value after netting would be a $75,000 transfer from Bank A to Bank B ($100,000 - $25,000).
