    Faster Payments in the United States: How Can Private Sector Systems Achieve Public Policy Goals? Fumiko Hayashi June 2015 RWP 15-03 Faster Payments in the United States: How Can Private Sector Systems Achieve Public Policy Goals?∗ Fumiko Hayashi† June 2015 Abstract Consumers and businesses are increasingly expecting faster payments. While many countries have already developed or are in process of developing faster payments, the availability of these payments is fragmented in the United States. The recently released paper by the Federal Reserve encourages private sector participants to provide faster payment services. However, private- sector faster payments systems will face significant challenges in achieving public policy goals of ubiquity, safety, and efficiency unless system governance represents broad public interests. One way to better align private-sector interests with those of the public is for the Federal Reserve to influence governance of the private-sector systems through its leadership role.

ABSTRACT The organization of automated teller machine (ATM) and electronic banking services in the United States has undergone significant structural changes in the past two or three years that raise questions about the long term prospects for the retail banking industry, the nature of network competition, ATM service pricing, and what role ATMs will play in the development of an interstate banking system. In this paper we investigate ways that banks use ATM services and membership in ATM networks as strategic marketing tools. We also examine how the changes in the size, number, and ownership of ATM networks (from banks or groups of banks to independent operators) have impacted the structure of ATM deployment in the retail banking industry. Finally, we consider how movement toward market saturation is changing how the public values electronic banking services, and what this means for bankers.

  • Interchange Fees in Australia, the UK, and the United States: Matching Theory and Practice
    Interchange Fees in Australia, the UK, and the United States: Matching Theory and Practice By Fumiko Hayashi and Stuart E. Weiner nterchange fees are an integral part of the pricing structure of credit and debit card industries. While in recent years the theoretical liter- Iature on interchange fees, and payment cards in general, has grown rapidly, the empirical literature has not. There are several reasons for this. First, comprehensive data are hard to obtain. Second, the industries are very complicated, and empirical models need to incorporate many industry-specific features, such as payment-card network rules and gov- ernment regulations. And third, empirical studies may require a generalized empirical model since, typically, only a few payment card networks exist in a given country. However, because of the first and second reasons, generalizing empirical models may prove problematic. This article seeks to provide a bridge between the theoretical and empirical literatures on interchange fees. Specifically, the article con- fronts theory with practice by asking: To what extent do existing models of interchange fees match up with actual interchange fee practices in Fumiko Hayashi is a senior economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.

  • Unionpay: Visa and Mastercard's Tough Chinese Rival
    1.35% AXP American Express Co $66.0 USD 0.87 1.32% Market data is delayed at least 15 minutes. Company Lookup Ticker Symbol or Company Go Among the myriad designer brands at the Harrods flagship store in London, Chinese housewife Li Yafang spotted a corporate logo she knows from back home: the red, blue, and green of UnionPay cards. “It’s very convenient,” said Li, 39, as a salesperson rang up a £1,190 ($1,920) Prada Saffiano Lux handbag. With 2.9 billion cards in circulation—equal to 45 percent of the world’s total last year—UnionPay has grown into a payments processing colossus just 10 years after the company was founded. Now accepted in 135 countries, its share of global credit- and debit-card transaction volume for the first half of 2012 rose to 23.8 percent, propelling it to No. 2 behind Visa International (V), according to the Nilson Report, an industry newsletter. “UnionPay has absolute dominance in China, and it’s now expanding beyond that to become a top global player,” says James Friedman, an analyst at Susquehanna International Group. “Their numbers show they are already in the league of Visa and MasterCard (MA).” Yin Lian, UnionPay’s name in Mandarin, means “banks united,” which reflects its ownership structure. Its founding shareholders were 85 Chinese banks, led by the five biggest state-owned lenders. UnionPay’s top managers are former senior officials at the People’s Bank of China, the nation’s central bank. (The company would not make executives available for interviews.) At home, the Shanghai-based firm enjoys a big competitive edge: The government requires that all automated teller machines and Chinese merchants use UnionPay’s electronic payments network to process payments in the local currency.

As merchants experienced 25-30% increases in card-not-present (CNP) transactions during the pandemic, fraudsters capitalized. Although “friendly” chargeback CNP fraud and refund fraud was prevalent pre-Covid, fraudsters have elevated these types of fraud to almost an art form.

  • Chapter 1 Introduction
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Globally, banking system is working continuously from many years. Paper money or cash has been leading payment mechanism worldwide for the centuries. The measure works of a bank to deposits an amount of a customer and returns it to him when he needs. During deposits and withdrawal of the amount bank may use this money for itself as to given loans to other customers who wants to avail it. There are so many types of loan like home loan, agricultural loan, personnel loan, loan for industries and business houses etc. Banks give a particular interest for the depositors on his money and take a certain interest from loan account holder. There are very fast changes occur in the traditional banking operation system. Before a decade ago a bank was involved only with customers when they were at premises of bank. But during this new time a bank provides many more services to the customer’s at their doorsteps. The entire system of banking has changed drastically. In banking system there are two most frequent and important services- one is to deposit cash in the account and second to withdraw cash from the account. Both the service provided to a customer during a time in which banks are open and officials present at that time. Here in this work our main concern is about the withdrawal service provided by the bank. Banks normally provide this cash through teller counters. Only in the past century paper money or cash faced competition from mainly cheques, debit and credit cards. Previously this whole process was thoroughly manual and nowadays it is automatic.
