A series designed to help all the new people flooding into & entering Crypto/Investments daily who get thrown into the rabbit hole so to speak and everything is new to them.
It is a TLDR / Short Form Series, covering ONLY one thing each episode in blue collar, easy to understand language to give a SHORT OVERVIEW of the term or lesson of the day.

I've never seen a regular series or resource running on Steemit to continually address this basic need so I decided to do it.
TERM OF THE DAY:
What is....
' Nostro Account ' ?
--
Nostro account refers to an account that a bank holds in a foreign currency in another bank. Nostros, a term derived from the Latin word for "ours," are frequently used to facilitate foreign exchange and trade transactions. The opposite term vostro accounts, derived from the Latin word for "yours," is how a bank refers to the accounts that other banks have on its books in its home currency.

Breaking Down...
' Nostro Account ' :
--
Nostro account and vostro account refer to the same thing from a different perspective. For example, Bank X has an account with Bank Y in Bank Y's home currency. To Bank X, that is a nostro, meaning "our account on your books," while to Bank Y, it is a vostro, meaning "your account on our books." These accounts are used to facilitate international transactions and to settle transactions that hedge exchange rate risk.
-- Locations of Nostro Accounts:
Most large commercial banks worldwide hold nostro accounts in every country with a convertible currency. Major examples of convertible currencies are the U.S. dollar, Canadian dollar, British pound, the European euro and the Japanese yen. Prior to the advent of the euro as a currency for financial settlements on January 1, 1999, banks needed to hold nostro accounts in all of the countries that now use the euro. Since that date, one nostro for the entire euro zone has been sufficient. If a country were to leave the euro zone, either voluntarily or involuntarily, banks would need to re-establish nostros in that country in its new currency in order to continue making payments. The most commonly discussed potential exit from the euro zone has been Greece, which received multiple bailout packages since the beginning of the 2008 financial market crisis.
-- Non-Convertible Currencies:
The central banks of many developing countries limit the buying and selling of their currencies, which is usually to control imports and exports and to control the exchange rate. Banks generally do not hold nostro accounts in those countries, as there is little or no foreign exchange business.
When a bank needs to make a payment in a country where it does not hold a nostro account, it can use a bank with which it has a correspondent relationship to make the payment on its behalf.
-- Example of a Payment Using a Nostro:
The following example illustrates the process of making a payment using a nostro. Bank A in the United States enters into a spot foreign exchange contract to buy British pounds from Bank B, which is in Sweden. On the settlement date, Bank B must deliver pounds from its nostro account in the United Kingdom to the nostro account of Bank A, also in the United Kingdom. On the same day, Bank A must pay dollars in the United States to the nostro account of Bank B.

Since Steemit dev's changed the size of the picture frame that shows, it has honestly been a real problem getting images to match the screen, it was perfectly fine months ago before they messed around with it.

Please note -- I will have limited internet access for awhile -- so PLEASE do not be upset that I cannot reply right away, or to everyone. I am dealing with some changes, and will have limited time online and will be happy if I get a few blog posts up a week.
This has really upset some people but I do not force my opinions on others, or need to communicate every detail of my life or issues, most people do not care anyways. I invested around 10 hours or more a day on Steemit most of my first 13 mths here, trying to build community, put out content and engage people, help and donate to people, and I just do not have that time in my life right now, and that includes for replies and voting/curation.
I have done my best, sorry if you do not understand like some are clearly having a problem with. It's a blogging platform, and I will do my best at everything, and to keep blogging.
Carry On.

Thanks for an informative post. I had never even heard the phrase, "Nostro Account." I guess you really do learn something new everyday.
I do know one Latin phrase that we've all come to know (and hate), and that is: 'Fiat,' which means, "Let it become," or, "It will become." I think a more accurate definition would be, "Let's screw the masses for our own personal wealth, and absolute control!" :-D
Thanks Again...and Merry Christmas, and/or Happy Holidays to all!
