The proposal aims to provide limited payment path access to non-bank financial institutions, though these accounts will not carry the same safeguards as traditional bank accounts. Their functionality will be limited to clearing and settling transactions; they cannot accrue interest, nor will they be eligible for central bank tools such as the discount window or intraday credit.
