A UK-based payment system for high-value, sterling real time gross settlement of transactions ([[RTGS]]) operated by the Bank of England through a subsidiary. It also offered euro payments but this service was discontinued in 2008.
The closing balance figure in turn provides the opening balance for the next period.  


It uses the [[MIRS]] settlement system back-up system offered by [[SWIFT]] as its offshore, distributed processing back-up.


The movement of the developing balance follows a sawtooth or 'corkscrew' path.
Hence the name 'corkscrew' for this structure.


As a result of its migration to a new platform, it was for a while also called NewCHAPS.

A structure for accounting and for the financial modelling of balances.

The closing balance is calculated from the opening balance, plus or minus the net inflow or outflow for the period.

The closing balance figure in turn provides the opening balance for the next period.


The movement of the developing balance follows a sawtooth or 'corkscrew' path.

Hence the name 'corkscrew' for this structure.
