The central access point to the TARGET services, T2 (CLM and RTGS), T2S, TIPS and ECMS is the Eurosystem Single Market Infrastructure Gateway (ESMIG). For future communication with the TARGET services and therefore ECMS, every counterparty needs to be connected via ESMIG (directly or can use third-party technical access). The two network service providers (NSPs) SIA-COLT and SWIFT, licensed by the Eurosystem, are available for this purpose. Further documents on the connection via ESMIG as well as information on contracts with the network service providers SIA-COLT and SWIFT can be found in the "TARGET2/T2S Consolidation" section.
