Transaction Method This dimension categorises transactions based on their agreement terms. DvP The values reported relate to delivery-versus-payment (DvP) transactions. Delivery-versus-payment transactions are those transactions of securities using a settlement mechanism which links the securities transfer and the funds transfer in such a way as to ensure that delivery occurs if, and only if, the corresponding payment occurs. Non DvP The values reported relate to non-delivery-versus-payment (non-DvP) transactions. Delivery-versus-payment transactions are those transactions of securities using a settlement mechanism which links the securities transfer and the funds transfer in such a way as to ensure that delivery occurs if, and only if, the corresponding payment occurs.
