SIA and Colt will help the ECB connect through a single access interface, the Eurosystem Single Market Infrastructure Gateway (ESMIG).
ESMIG is a component in the implementation of the Target and Target2 securities and instant payments consolidation projects.
The ECB is already using the network infrastructure of SIA and Colt for testing activities with other major central banks.
Both vendors also attained (as a pair) one of the two ten-year ESMIG network service provider licences.
