BCBS 248LCR

Intraday Credit Facility Sizing Model

Model intraday credit facility requirements under the Basel III LCR framework. Calculate the minimum intraday liquidity buffer, recommended facility size with 20% operational headroom, LCR ratio impact of pre-positioned collateral (with Basel III haircut by collateral type), and the full BCBS 248 ILM1–ILM7 indicator set. Peak debit stress scenarios at 1.5×, 2×, and 3×.

AP2 Agentic5 Dimensions

AP2 Real-Time Payments Policy Builder

Compile your real-time payment operating policy across five dimensions — rail eligibility, fraud velocity thresholds, liquidity buffer triggers, settlement window preferences, and escalation conditions — into a validated Policy Mandate JSON for agentic payment system consumption. Built-in policy validation catches threshold conflicts, band ordering errors, and unreachable rules. Generates a live JSON preview with syntax highlighting, agent instruction set, Markdown export, and one-click clipboard copy.

Audience

Who Uses These Tools

Payments Engineer

Use T254 to identify field mapping issues before cross-rail go-live. Use T255 to scope your FedNow implementation against all 47 technical requirements. Use T256 to configure sub-second fraud rules within your latency budget.

Compliance / Legal

Use T257 to generate step-by-step PSR APP fraud claim workflows for front-line ops teams. Export the Policy Mandate JSON as your compliance audit trail. Cross-link to Tool 26 for strategic portfolio-level liability modelling.

Treasury / Finance

Use T258 to size your FedNow/RTP intraday credit facility under BCBS 248. The ILM1–ILM7 indicator set feeds your Pillar 2 supervisory reports. Cross-link to Tool 39 for the minute-by-minute prefunding picture.

Fraud Analyst

Use T256 to design velocity rules within the 250ms–1,000ms authorisation window. The latency waterfall shows exactly how much of your budget each rule consumes. Conflict detection catches redundant BLOCK rules before deployment.

AI Agent Developer

Use T259 to compile a Policy Mandate JSON your autonomous payment agent can consume via the AINumbers.co MCP server. The mandate covers all five operational dimensions with built-in validation — deployable directly into your agent runtime.

Product Manager

Use T255 to build a FedNow participation roadmap with stakeholders. The gap checklist turns into a project backlog. Use T254 to understand cross-rail field compatibility before committing to a multi-rail product strategy.

Quick Start

Get Started in 6 Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare for FedNow Go-Live

    Start with T255 — FedNow Participation Readiness Scorer to score your institution against all 47 Federal Reserve requirements. The gap checklist becomes your implementation backlog. Then run T258 to size the intraday credit facility your FedNow volume will require under BCBS 248.

  2. 2

    Build a Multi-Rail ISO 20022 Integration

    Use T254 — ISO 20022 Cross-Rail Compatibility Checker to identify exactly which fields behave differently between your source and target rails. The severity-ranked diff report shows HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW issues — prioritise HIGH before deployment.

  3. 3

    Configure RTP Fraud Controls

    Open T256 — RTP Fraud Velocity Rule Builder and select your rail and latency budget (start with 500ms). Add velocity rules one by one — the latency waterfall updates live. The conflict detection catches duplicate BLOCK rules and unreachable MONITOR conditions before you push to production.

  4. 4

    Process a UK PSR APP Fraud Claim

    Open T257 — PSR APP Fraud Reimbursement Workflow Builder and complete the 4-step claim assessment. The decision engine applies the £85,000 cap, calculates the 50/50 PSP split, assesses gross negligence across 6 evidenced indicators, and generates a dated 5-business-day timeline.

  5. 5

    Size Your Intraday Liquidity Facility

    Open T258 — Intraday Credit Facility Sizing Model and enter your peak net debit position, average daily volume, and current LCR position. Select your collateral type — the haircut auto-populates from the Basel III table. The output shows your minimum buffer, recommended facility (buffer + 20% headroom), LCR impact, and all seven BCBS 248 ILM indicators.

  6. 6

    Compile a Policy Mandate for Your Payment Agent

    Use T259 — AP2 Real-Time Payments Policy Builder to configure all five policy dimensions. The live JSON preview updates as you configure each section. The built-in validator catches threshold conflicts before you export. Download the Policy Mandate JSON and reference the agent_instructions array as your agent's ordered rulebook.
