From the end of the Civil War until around 1900 there was very little branch banking in the United States* The majority of State banks and their branches in existence prior to the Civil War -*M«H«MiMr converted into unit national banksj, «? failed as a result of the conflict, or liquidated as a result of the tax imposed on their note issues by the National Bank Act* With the growth of deposit banking, however, which gradually supplanted issue banking, the number of State banks began to increase towards the end of the century, and the development of present day branch bank­ ing in the United States may be said to date from approximately that time. In 1900, according to the best information available, there were only about 119 branches in existence* A gradual growth brought the number to 735 in 1915, after which the increase was accelerated so that by 1920 there were 1,281 branches* During the next ten years the number nearly trebled to 3,518 in 1930. In 1931 the suspensions resulted in a decrease in the number of branches as well as of unit banks. The thirty-one year movement is illus­ trated in Chart 1* The greater part of the growth through 1930 was among branches lo­ cated within the same city as the head office of the bank operating them; at the end of that year roughly two-thirds of the branches in the country were in the city of the head office.

Private banks excluded numbered k on the same date, with 5 branches and loans and investments of $2,859*000. Where comparisons in these tables are made with all active banks, private and mutual savings banks have likewise been eliminated from the active bank figures. The number of banks operating branches, as shown in Table 1, increased from 87 in 1900 to 677 in December, I93I. Since the decline Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis - 4 - in the number of banks operating branches from 1928 through the three succeeding years was not accompanied by a corresponding decrease in the number of branches, it is apparent that the movement does not indicate an abandonment of branch banking, but rather a concentration of it in the hands of fewer banks. Branches of State and National Banks, - Prior to 1922 the develop­ ment of branches was limited almost entirely to State banks, as shown by Chart 2. Occasionally a State bank with branches was converted into a national bank and retained its branches, or was absorbed with its branches by a national bank. The growth in the number of branches of national banks from this source was slow, however, and in 1921 there were only 72 branches of national banks compared with 1,383 branches of State banks.

  • Pension-System Typology
    ISBN 92-64-01871-9 Pensions at a Glance Public Policies across OECD Countries © OECD 2005 PART I Chapter 1 Pension-system Typology PENSIONS AT A GLANCE – ISBN 92-64-01871-9 – © OECD 2005 21 I.1. PENSION-SYSTEM TYPOLOGY There have been numerous typologies of retirement-income systems. The terminology used in these categorisations has become very confusing. Perhaps the most commonly- used typology is the World Bank’s “three-pillar” classification (World Bank, 1994), between “a publicly managed system with mandatory participation and the limited goal of reducing poverty among the old [first pillar]; a privately managed mandatory savings system [second pillar]; and voluntary savings [third pillar]”. But this is a prescriptive rather than a descriptive typology. Subsequent analysts have allocated all public pension programmes to the first pillar. This has included earnings-related public schemes, which certainly do not meet the original definition of the first pillar. The most recent addition is the concept of a “zero pillar”, comprising non-contributory schemes aimed at alleviating poverty among older people. But this is rather closer to the original description of a first pillar. The OECD has developed a taxonomy that avoids the concept of pillars altogether. It aims, instead, for a global classification for pension plans, pension funds and pension entities that is descriptive and consistent over a range of countries with different retirement-income systems (OECD, 2004). The approach adopted here follows this line. It is based on the role and objective of each part of the pension system. The framework has two mandatory tiers: a redistributive part and an insurance part.

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.

  • Cheque Collection Policy
    CHEQUE COLLECTION POLICY 1. Introduction 1.1. Collection of cheques, deposited by its customers, is a basic service undertaken by the banks. While most of the cheques would be drawn on local bank branches, some could also be drawn on non-local bank branches. 1.2. With the objective of achieving efficiencies in collection of proceeds of cheques and providing funds to customers in time and also to disclose to the customers the Bank's obligations and the customers' rights, Reserve Bank of India has advised Banks to formulate a comprehensive and transparent Cheque Collection Policy (CCP) taking into account their technological capabilities, systems and processes adopted for clearing arrangements and other internal arrangements. Banks have been advised to include compensation payable for the delay in the collection of cheques in their Cheque Collection Policy. 1.3. This collection policy of the Bank is a reflection of the Bank’s on-going efforts to provide better service to their customers and set higher standards for performance. The policy is based on principles of transparency and fairness in the treatment of customers. The bank is committed to increased use of technology to provide quick collection services to its customers. 1.4. This policy document covers the following aspects: 1.5. Collection of cheques and other instruments payable locally, at centers within India and abroad. 1.6. Bank’s commitment regarding time norms for collection of instruments. 1.7. Policy on payment of interest in cases where the bank fails to meet time norms for realization of proceeds of instruments. 1.8.
