On the 3rd December this year, Central Bank of BH will introduce the third daily settlement in GIRO clearing. Decision to introduce the third daily settlement was brought on the basis of survey that was conducted with commercial banks which declared that introduction of the third daily settlement in GIRO clearing would improve the level of their services for the clients.
