• Net Send Limits in the Lynx Payment System: Usage and Implications

  Staff Discussion Paper 2025-13 Virgilio B Pasin, Anna Wyllie

  We study how participants in the Lynx payment system use the net send limit (NSL) tool to control their intraday payment outflow levels. Our results show that participants typically adopt a “set it and forget it” approach to scheduling NSLs and sometimes have distinct intraday NSL adjustment behaviours.
