Abstract: The article examines the timing, duration and underlying factors affecting the properties of overnight loans settled in the Hungarian large-value payment system (VIBER1) operated by the MNB (Magyar Nemzeti Bank), from a payments perspective. The authors primarily focus on questions such as what sort of patterns or trends exist in regard to the settlement times of unsecured overnight loans completed in VIBER, what factors affect these times and what does the maturity of an O/N transaction depend on, in general. The paper finds that in the case of money market shocks, system participants tend to react similarly in relation to the timing of their O/N transactions. The maturity of overnight transactions is more affected by the timing of O/N loan repayments rather than the borrowing times.
