  • Peculiarities of Online Banking in the Framework of Ensuring Sustainable Development of the Economy
    E3S Web of Conferences 208, 03027 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202020803027 IFT 2020 Peculiarities of online banking in the framework of ensuring sustainable development of the economy Farkhod Mukhamedov1, Maksim Maramygin2, Natalya Mokeeva2,*, and Valeria Rodicheva2 1Tashkent Financial Institute, Amira Timura Avenue, 60 A, Tashkent, Uzbekistan 2Ural State University of Economics, 8 Marta Str., 62, 620144 Ekaterinburg, Russia Abstract. Abstract. The development of online banking in the economies of many countries, including Russia, is a fairly young direction and now continues its active growth, and the formation of banking ecosystems is at the stage of origin and initial formation into an independent unit. However, many banks treat remote customer service not as a possible way of development, but as a forced measure. Implementation of new technologies in the banking sector is a little slower than in other segments of the industry. This is primarily due to the very conservative views of the top managers of the bank, as well as of many consumers of banking services. When investigating possible problems and prospects of development of online banks, it is possible to form a pool of new opportunities for growth of the banking system and development of the product line of individual banks. 1 Introduction Year after year, modern technologies are changing settlement systems, bringing more and more new to the daily needs of payments of various types. At the same time, regardless of the company's or sphere's affiliation, financial market participants try to implement modern technologies thus not only allowing clients to receive the service remotely, but also saving the company itself on expenses.

  • Reflections on the Canadian Payments Systems: from Manual Clearing to Electronic Funds Transfers
    REFLECTIONS ON THE CANADIAN PAYMENTS SYSTEMS: FROM MANUAL CLEARING TO ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFERS by ALISON L. KIRBY B.A., McGill University, 1981 LL.B., The University of Ottawa, 1987 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF LAWS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Faculty of Law) We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA December, 1996 , ©Alison L.

Access to the payments system is a key element in the retail and financial services sectors' bid to remain competitive on both national and global scales. Moreover, a complete system of electronic payments will eventually reduce the need for credit cards and, to the extent that it increases the use of deposits for payment purposes, it will reduce the need for currency and cheques as well.
