  • How Can Private Sector Systems Achieve Public Policy Goals?
    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. JEL Classification: L5; L88; M14 Keywords: Faster payments, System governance, Public interest ∗ The author thanks Kelly Edmiston and Richard J. Sullivan for valuable comments, and Elizabeth Cook for editorial suggestions. The views expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City or the Federal Reserve System. † Fumiko Hayashi is a senior economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. E-mail: [email protected]. 1 1. Introduction In the wake of technological innovations such as high-speed data networks and sophisticated mobile computing devices, consumers and businesses have raised their expectations for faster payments. Payment users increasingly expect electronic payment products to be accessible through mobile and online channels at any time.

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.

  • The Transaction Network in Japan's Interbank Money Markets
    The Transaction Network in Japan’s Interbank Money Markets Kei Imakubo and Yutaka Soejima Interbank payment and settlement flows have changed substantially in the last decade. This paper applies social network analysis to settlement data from the Bank of Japan Financial Network System (BOJ-NET) to examine the structure of transactions in the interbank money market. We find that interbank payment flows have changed from a star-shaped network with money brokers mediating at the hub to a decentralized network with nu- merous other channels. We note that this decentralized network includes a core network composed of several financial subsectors, in which these core nodes serve as hubs for nodes in the peripheral sub-networks. This structure connects all nodes in the network within two to three steps of links. The network has a variegated structure, with some clusters of in- stitutions on the periphery, and some institutions having strong links with the core and others having weak links. The structure of the network is a critical determinant of systemic risk, because the mechanism in which liquidity shocks are propagated to the entire interbank market, or like- wise absorbed in the process of propagation, depends greatly on network topology. Shock simulation examines the propagation process using the settlement data. Keywords: Interbank market; Real-time gross settlement; Network; Small world; Core and periphery; Systemic risk JEL Classification: E58, G14, G21, L14 Kei Imakubo: Financial Systems and Bank Examination Department, Bank of Japan (E-mail: [email protected]) Yutaka Soejima: Payment and Settlement Systems Department, Bank of Japan (E-mail: [email protected]) Empirical work in this paper was prepared for the 2006 Financial System Report (Bank of Japan [2006]), when the Bank of Japan (BOJ) ended the quantitative easing policy.
