• REGULAR WAY SETTLEMENT
  
  Buyers and sellers can negotiate settlement periods; however, standard time periods are usually used. For U.S. Treasury and agency debt securities, the customary settlement time, called regular way settlement, is the next business day. For municipal and corporate debt securities, the customary settlement period, often called corporate settlement, is three days. See net settlement and settlement.
