Insti- tutions with legacy systems resist disruptive change unless there are demands by businesses and customers and an opportunity for new products at reduced costs and additional revenues. Although the Automated Clearing House (ACH) in the U.S. has phased in a twice-a-day clear- ing and settlement system, it is still behind real-time models in use in several other countries. ACH uses individual clearance and settlements for large payments and batches for smaller transactions. Using ACH data, this paper calculates the annual opportunity cost of using a real-time model such as blockchain versus ACH’s discrete, twice-a-day clearance and settlement procedure. For 2016, the real-time protocol would have resulted in benefits for businesses and customers of $10 billion.

  • How the Federal Reserve's Automated Clearing House Informs
    Insight How The Federal Reserve’s Automated Clearing House Informs The Fed’s Proposed Real- Time Payments Entry THOMAS WADE | JULY 11, 2019 Executive Summary Since the 1970s the Federal Reserve has acted both as regulator and market participant in the provision of automated clearing house services. Twenty years of decreasing prices that are not matched by identified cost-savings suggest that the Federal Reserve is using its platform for non-market policy purposes that serve to undercut private providers and benefit the largest banks. These lessons and potential conflict of interest concerns must be considered as the Federal Reserve considers also entering the real-time payments space. Background The Federal Reserve (the Fed) is considering providing real-time payment services, but this move would not be the first time that the Fed has entered a market as both a regulator and participant. In the early 1970s, the Fed began providing an automated clearing house (ACH) service. An ACH is an electronic network for financial transactions that acts as a computer-based clearing house and settlement service, processing electronic payments made by financial institutions. It is this network that underpins electronic banking as we understand it today. Administered since 1985 by NACHA (previously the North American Automated Clearing House Association), each year it moves more than $41 trillion and 24 billion electronic financial transactions. Initially created in the late 1960s by Californian banks with the Calwestern Automated Clearing House Association, from the beginning of ACH history there has been close interaction between private industry and the Fed. ACH advances were inextricably linked with the development of computers, and in the 1960s private computing was not well developed; as a result industry relied on the Fed’s computer processing capacity.

  • Banking Policy Issues in the 115Th Congress
    Banking Policy Issues in the 115th Congress David W. Perkins Analyst in Macroeconomic Policy March 7, 2018 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R44855 Banking Policy Issues in the 115th Congress Summary The financial crisis and the ensuing legislative and regulatory responses greatly affected the banking industry. Many new regulations—mandated or authorized by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (P.L. 111-203) or promulgated under the authority of bank regulators—have been implemented in recent years. In addition, economic and technological trends continue to affect banks. As a result, Congress is faced with many issues related to the bank industry, including issues concerning prudential regulation, consumer protection, “too big to fail” (TBTF) banks, community banks, regulatory agency design and independence, and market and economic trends. For example, the Financial CHOICE Act (H.R. 10) and the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (S. 2155) propose wide ranging changes to the financial regulatory system, and include provisions related to many of these banking issues. Prudential Regulation. This type of regulation is designed to ensure banks are safely profitable and unlikely to fail. Regulatory ratio requirements agreed to in the international agreement known as the Basel III Accords and the Volcker Rule are examples. Ratio requirements require banks to hold a certain amount of capital on their balance sheets to better enable them to avoid failure. The Volcker Rule prohibits certain trading activities and affiliations at banks. Proponents argue the rules appropriately balance the need for safety and soundness with regulatory burden.

  • The Political Economy of Argentina's Abandonment
    Going through the labyrinth: the political economy of Argentina’s abandonment of the gold standard (1929-1933) Pablo Gerchunoff and José Luis Machinea ABSTRACT This article is the short but crucial history of four years of transition in a monetary and exchange-rate regime that culminated in 1933 with the final abandonment of the gold standard in Argentina. That process involved decisions made at critical junctures at which the government authorities had little time to deliberate and against which they had no analytical arsenal, no technical certainties and few political convictions. The objective of this study is to analyse those “decisions” at seven milestone moments, from the external shock of 1929 to the submission to Congress of a bill for the creation of the central bank and a currency control regime characterized by multiple exchange rates. The new regime that this reordering of the Argentine economy implied would remain in place, in one form or another, for at least a quarter of a century.

  • Effects of Automated Teller Machine on the Performance of Nigerian Banks
    American Journal of Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2014, Vol. 2, No. 1, 40-46 Available online at http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajams/2/1/7 © Science and Education Publishing DOI:10.12691/ajams-2-1-7 Effects of Automated Teller Machine on the Performance of Nigerian Banks Jegede C.A.* Department of Accounting and finance, Lagos State University, Ojo, Nigeria *Corresponding author: [email protected] Received August 07, 2013; Revised August 24, 2013; Accepted February 07, 2014 Abstract This study investigates the effects of ATM on the performance of Nigerian banks. Available studies have concentrated on the significant dimensions of ATM (automated teller machine) service quality and its effect on customer satisfaction with a bias against ATM producers. The study is motivated by the astronomical challenges confronting the proliferation of ATM infrastructure and attendant financial losss to banks which are often under- reported. Also, there are serious debate on the relevance of ATM technology as most countries in the world are moving away from the virus technology to the more secured chip cards free of credit and debit frauds. Questionnaire was used to collect the data from a convenience sample of 125 employees of five selected banks in Lagos State with interswitch network. Therefore, data collected through the questionnaire were analyzed statistically by using the Software Package for Social Science (SPSS Version 20.0 for Student Version) and chi-square technique. The results indicate that less than the benefits, the deployment of ATMs terminals have averagely improved the performance of Nigerian banks because of the alarming rate of ATM fraud.
