How does settlement and clearing work in the US interbank market?

As the title says.

I wasn't able to find a clear explanation on what organizations take care of these and how the regulators comes into play. If IB settlement and clearing is handled by the government, please refer me to that agency.

Thanks in advance!

sorry for being vague.

I'm most interested in the settlement and clearing of repo, spot bonds, and IRS. But would like to know what agencies regulate and take care of the settlement for other products as well.

 

you're talking about OTC products, and these are usually traded through brokers. Once brokers have confirmed counterparty details, payments must be routed to the central bank, then the bank's overseas or local account. These routing is done on the SWIFT network. All agreements are usually adhered to the ISDA documentation.
