Shifting from cash to digital payments has the potential to improve the lives of low-income people, particularly women, while giving governments, companies and international organizations a more transparent, time- and cost-efficient, and often safer means of making and receiving payments. We partner with governments, companies, and international organizations that are the key drivers behind the transition to make digital payments widely available by: 1. Advocating for the transition from cash to digital payments in a way that advances financial inclusion and promotes responsible digital finance. 2. Conducting research and sharing the experience our members to inform strategies for making the transition 3. Catalyzing the development of digital payments ecosystems in member countries to reduce costs, increase transparency, advance financial inclusion-- particularly for women-- and drive inclusive growth. The Alliance’s Development Results Focused Research Programme (DRFRP) accelerates the generation and dissemination of knowledge and tools for stakeholders transitioning part of their payments from cash to electronic. The DRFRP has three components: 1) Readiness diagnostics, which compile existing data on the volumes, values, and payment means for each kind of payment made by governments, the private sector, and development community partners, and assess the country’s readiness to replace cash payments with electronic payments; 2) Case studies of on-going shifts; and 3) Toolkits to provide practical steps for Alliance stakeholders to plan, measure and implement shifts. The DRFRP is managed on behalf of the Alliance by a consortium led by BFA, a Boston-based consulting firm, with advice from experts from the World Bank Payments Group and the CGAP Technology Team, as well as local research staff. PHILIPPINES PROJECT TEAM The diagnostic process involves desk research and an in-country mission by a team of experts to gather data, assess the incentives of participants in the local payments context, and survey the insights of local Alliance champions and stakeholders. Each diagnostic country team includes local researchers with experience in the payments system and knowledge of relevant institutions and individuals. Content and data in this document are based on information gathered during the third quarter of 2013, and therefore represent data prior to this date. This report was authored by the Philippines country project team: •Country Director: James Hokans, BFA •Country Analyst: Leesa Shrader •Measurement Expert: Wajiha Ahmed, BFA •Payments Expert: With advice and input from World Bank •Country Support: Anatoly “Jing” Gusto ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The diagnostic country team would like to thank Better Than Cash Alliance co-champions at the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) and Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) for their determination and support. We appreciate the time, energy and creative thinking that it takes to assist us to gather payments data and then help us analyze it. We particularly want to thank: Richard E. Moya, Undersecretary and Chief Information Officer, Department of Budget and Management; Gabriel Baleos, Digitization Initiatives Consultant, Department of Budget and Management; Nestor A.

  • The State of Digital Payments in the Philippines (Released in 2015) Found That Adoption Had Been Limited
    COUNTRY DIAGNOSTIC The State of Digital Payments in the Philippines DECEMBER 2019 PHILIPPINES Authors Project Leads: Keyzom Ngodup Massally, Rodrigo Mejía Ricart Technical authors: Malavika Bambawale, Swetha Totapally, and Vineet Bhandari Cover photo: © Better Than Cash Alliance/Erwin Nolido 1 FOREWORD Our country was one of the first to pioneer digital payments nearly 20 years ago. Recognizing the untapped market potential and the opportunity to foster greater access to financial inclusion, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has worked, hand in hand, with the government and the leaders across financial, retail, and regulatory sectors to boost digital payments. Over the past three years, since the launch of the first digital payments diagnostic, the Philippines has experienced remarkable progress toward building an inclusive digital payments ecosystem. In 2013, digital payments accounted for only 1% of the country’s total transaction volume. In 2018, this follow through diagnostic study showed that the volume of digital payments increased to 10% corresponding to 20% share in the total transaction value. These numbers speak of significant progress and success. I am optimistic that e-payments will gain further momentum as we have laid the necessary building blocks to accelerate innovation and inclusive growth over the next few years. Notably, Filipino women are ahead of men in the uptake of digital payments, placing us ahead of global standards. The rise of fintech and their solutions are starting to play a transformative role, as we can see from the rapidly-growing adoption of the emerging QR codes for digital transactions. I am confident that the BSP has built a good digital foundation and is well positioned to leverage fintech in increasing the share of digital payments toward a cash- lite Philippines.

  • 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.

  • The Alignment of Screens
    The Alignment of Screens Felipe Raglianti , B.A.; M.A. Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Department of Sociology, Lancaster University, 2016 Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own work and that it has not been submitted in any form for the award of a higher degree elsewhere. Felipe Raglianti, June 2016 1 Abstract This thesis makes a distinction between screen and surface. It proposes that an inquiry into screens includes, but is not limited to, the study of surfaces. Screens and screening practices are about doing both divisions and vision. The habit of reducing screens to the display neglects their capacity to emplace separations (think of folding screens). In this thesis an investigation of screens becomes a matter of asking how surfaces and the gaps in between them articulate alignments of people and things with displays that, in practice, always leave something out of sight. Rather than losing touch with screens by reducing them to surfaces, in other words, I am interested in alternative screen configurations. For this task I sketch an approach that touches on screens through the figures of lines, surfaces, textures, folds, knots and cuts. Lines help me to make the case for thinking about screens as alignments. I then ask what kinds of observers emerge from reducing screens to single or digital surfaces. I trace that concern with Google Glass, a pair of “smartglasses” with a transparent display. To distinguish between screen and surface I suggest, through a study of biodetection and assistance dogs, how to qualify or texture screens within webs of relations.

  • Automated Teller Machine - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Automated teller machine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_teller_machine From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia An automated teller machine or automatic teller machine (ATM), also known as an automated banking machine (ABM) in Canada, and a Cashpoint (which is a trademark of Lloyds TSB), cash machine or sometimes a hole in the wall in British English, is a computerized telecommunications device that provides the clients of a financial institution with access to financial transactions in a public space without the need for a cashier, human clerk or bank teller. ATMs are known by various other names including ATM machine, automated banking machine, and various regional variants derived from trademarks on ATM systems held by particular banks. On most modern ATMs, the customer is identified by inserting a plastic ATM card with a magnetic stripe or a plastic smart card with a chip, that contains a unique card number and some security information such as an expiration date or CVVC (CVV). Authentication is provided by the customer entering a personal identification number (PIN). Using an ATM, customers can access their bank accounts in order to make cash withdrawals, debit card cash advances, and check their account balances as well as purchase prepaid cellphone credit. If the currency being withdrawn from the ATM is different from that which An NCR Personas 75-Series interior, the bank account is denominated in (e.g.: Withdrawing Japanese Yen multi-function ATM in the United from a bank account containing US Dollars), the money will be States converted at an official wholesale exchange rate.
