  • Costs and Benefits of Building Faster Payment Systems: the U.K
    No. 14-5 Costs and Benefits of Building Faster Payment Systems: The U.K. Experience and Implications for the United States Claire Greene, Marc Rysman, Scott Schuh, and Oz Shy Abstract: A number of countries have implemented faster payment services that allow consumers and businesses to rapidly transfer money between bank accounts. These services compete with slower, existing payment services. In 2008, the United Kingdom implemented its Faster Payments Service (FPS) at a cost of less than ₤200 million (.014 percent of U.K. GDP, or $307 million) spread over seven years, plus investment costs borne by each participating bank to connect to the FPS. This paper examines the economic cost-benefit analysis underlying the U.K. FPS investment decision and describes the subsequent diffusion and use of FPS through 2013. The paper also assesses the effects that FPS likely had on the rest of the U.K. payment system and highlights key unanswered questions for future research. Based on this U.K. experience, the paper describes implications for the U.S. payment system, which the Federal Reserve has proposed to make faster in recent policy announcements. Keywords: fast payments systems, cost-benefit analysis, account-to-account (A2A) transfers, person-to-person (P2P) payments JEL codes: G210 Claire Greene, Marc Rysman, Scott Schuh, and Oz Shy are members of the Consumer Payments Research Center in the research department of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. Claire Greene is a payments analyst. Marc Rysman is a visiting scholar and a professor of economics at Boston University. Scott Schuh is the director of the Center and a senior economist and policy advisor.

    Page 110 110 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 International Financial Centre Hong Kong continues to be a globally competitive international financial centre. During the year, various initiatives were taken forward to facilitate the development and use of fintech in the banking and payment industries. The Faster Payment System has seen a surge in turnover during the year amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Hong Kong is also a centre of action for capitalising on opportunities from the opening up of the Mainland financial markets. Thanks to world-class market infrastructure and the Connect schemes, Hong Kong is both the favoured platform of Mainland corporates raising funds and the window for international investors seeking exposure to the fast-growing Mainland markets. Headway was made during the year to promote financial collaboration in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, especially in helping Hong Kong residents access financial and banking services in the Area more easily. At the same time, great effort went into opening up new opportunities for enhancing the competitiveness of Hong Kong’s financial platform, in areas including asset and wealth management, corporate treasury centres and sustainable finance. The HKMA also stepped up market outreach to promote Hong Kong’s financial services to overseas and Mainland stakeholders. At a global level, the HKMA is playing a leadership role in a number of regional and international committees, which is a clear recognition of Hong Kong’s expertise and commitment to international work.
