The current set of global bank capital standards are called Basel II. In some countries such as Germany, banks have historically owned major stakes in industrial corporations while in other countries such as the United States banks are prohibited from owning non-financial companies. In Japan, banks are usually the nexus of a cross-share holding entity known as the keiretsu. In Iceland banks followed international standards of regulation prior to the 2008 collapse.

The Bardi and Peruzzi families dominated banking in 14th century Florence, establishing branches in many other parts of Europe.[2] Perhaps the most famous Italian bank was the Medici bank, set up by Giovanni Medici in 1397.[3] The earliest known state deposit bank, Banco di San Giorgio (Bank of St. George), was founded in 1407 at Genoa, Italy.[4] [edit] Origin of the word The word bank was borrowed in Middle English from Middle Frenchbanque, from Old Italianbanca, from Old High Germanbanc, bank "bench, counter". Benches were used as desks or exchange counters during the Renaissance by Florentine bankers, who used to make their transactions atop desks covered by green tablecloths.[5] The earliest evidence of money-changing activity is depicted on a silver Greek drachm coin from ancient Hellenic colony Trapezus on the Black Sea, modern Trabzon, c. 350–325 BC, presented in the British Museum in London. The coin shows a banker's table (trapeza) laden with coins, a pun on the name of the city. In fact, even today in Modern Greek the word Trapeza (Τράπεζα) means both a table and a bank. [edit] Definition The definition of a bank varies from country to country. See the relevant country page (below) for more information. Under English common law, a banker is defined as a person who carries on the business of banking, which is specified as:[6] • conducting current accounts for his customers • paying cheques drawn on him, and • collectingcheques for his customers. Banco de Venezuela in Coro. In most common law jurisdictions there is a Bills of Exchange Act that codifies the law in relation to negotiable instruments, including cheques, and this Act contains a statutory definition of the term banker: banker includes a body of persons, whether incorporated or not, who carry on the business of banking' (Section 2, Interpretation). Although this definition seems circular, it is actually functional, because it ensures that the legal basis for bank transactions such as cheques does not depend on how the bank is organised or regulated. The business of banking is in many English common law countries not defined by statute but by common law, the definition above. In other English common law jurisdictions there are statutory definitions of the business of banking or banking business. When looking at these definitions it is important to keep in mind that they are defining the business of banking for the purposes of the legislation, and not necessarily in general. In particular, most of the definitions are from legislation that has the purposes of entry regulating and supervising banks rather than regulating the actual business of banking. However, in many cases the statutory definition closely mirrors the common law one. Examples of statutory definitions: • "banking business" means the business of receiving money on current or deposit account, paying and collecting cheques drawn by or paid in by customers, the making of advances to customers, and includes such other business as the Authority may prescribe for the purposes of this Act; (Banking Act (Singapore), Section 2, Interpretation). • "banking business" means the business of either or both of the following: 1. receiving from the general public money on current, deposit, savings or other similar account repayable on demand or within less than [3 months] ... or with a period of call or notice of less than that period; 2. paying or collecting cheques drawn by or paid in by customers[7] Since the advent of EFTPOS (Electronic Funds Transfer at Point Of Sale), direct credit, direct debit and internet banking, the cheque has lost its primacy in most banking systems as a payment instrument. This has led legal theorists to suggest that the cheque based definition should be broadened to include financial institutions that conduct current accounts for customers and enable customers to pay and be paid by third parties, even if they do not pay and collect cheques.

  • MCED Access to Finance Briefing
    Access to Finance and Community Economic Development Solutions Pat Conaty Localise West Midlands – Community Economic Development Project Discussion Paper October 2012 The double-dip recession in the UK has highlighted the access to finance issue. John Stuart Mill observed in 1844 that business slumps are characterised by credit rationing problems by banks and that stimulating new investment is crucial. i The credit crunch problem is currently deep and apparently structural. Diverse methods by the Coalition government over the past year have thus far failed to turn the problem round. Bank lending to all businesses according to Bank of England data has declined by 17% over the past four years and collapsed by £4 billion in the three months to May 2012. ii This paper examines the access to finance issue both in relation to the current crisis but also more broadly in relation to enterprises and organisations that even in good times find it very hard to secure investment from the banks. This is particularly a major issue in the UK because of the intensive centralisation and concentration of banking. The paper also looks at a broader range of solutions that have been developed by community economic development methodologies, the co-operative sector and by government intervention. Finally the policy context will be examined and ways proposed for developing a new more socially and financially inclusive approach to local economic development. 1. Bankability and access to finance – the barriers in the UK Banking and high street lending has changed beyond recognition since the regulatory changes introduced in the 1980s in the lead up to the Big Bang.

MANN* INTRODUCTION Wal-Mart's application to form a bank ignited controversy among dis- parate groups, ranging from union backers to realtors' groups to charitable organizations.' The dominant voices, though, were those of independent bankers complaining that the big-box retailer would drive them out of busi- ness. Wal-Mart denied any interest in competing with local banks by open- ing branches, 2 claiming that it was interested only in payments processing. Distrusting Wal-Mart, the independent bankers urged the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to deny Wal-Mart's request and lobbied state and federal lawmakers to block Wal-Mart's plans through legislation. Ultimately, Wal-Mart withdrew its application, concluding that it stood little chance of overcoming the opposition. The controversy dovetails with a banking regulatory concern about the existing system for supervising commercial firms that own non-traditional banks.

Dla akademickiego finansisty, by∏ego wieloletniego mened˝era bankowego, taka kilkutygodniowa podró˝ to Êwietna okazja do zapoznania si´ z setkami najnowszych publikacji anglo- i niemieckoj´zycznych z dziedziny szeroko rozumianych finansów, a tak˝e do rozmów z tamtejszymi uczonymi, z dyrektorem Instytutu prof. Lutzem Kruschwitz'em na czele. OczywiÊcie, rozmawialiÊmy o finansach: zarówno o realnych zjawiskach i procesach finansowych w Niemczech, w Polsce i w USA, jak i o tendencjach w nauce finansów, a ÊciÊlej w naukach finansowych.

    Fiscal Services Division Legislative Services Agency Fiscal Note SF 2030 - Automated Teller Machine Sales Tax Exemption (LSB 5028 XS) Analyst: Jeff Robinson (Phone: (515) 281-4614) ([email protected]) Fiscal Note Version - New Requested by Senator Pat Ward Description Senate File 2030 exempts service charges assessed by financial institutions from sales/use tax where the person being assessed the charge is a customer of the financial institution assessing the service charge. Service charges include point-of-sale purchases, automated teller machine (ATM) charges, and potentially any other service charge assessed to the customer. The Bill would take effect July 1, 2006. Background “Financial institution” is defined as a state or federal bank, credit union, savings and loan, industrial loan company, or any affiliate of one of those organizations. Under current law, service charges assessed by financial institutions against non-customers of that institution are exempt from State sales tax. This is generally limited to ATM charges assessed to persons using the ATM where the ATM is not owned by the customer’s bank. Any service charge assessed by a financial institution against a checking account of the institution’s own customer are currently subject to sales tax. This would include ATM transactions involving an ATM owned by the customer’s bank or charges for use of an ATM not owned by the customer’s bank. The same is true for point-of-sale fees, if any. Financial institutions also currently charge customers service fees for other checking account related actions, including fees to stop payments, card issuance/replacement, insufficient funds, certified checks, etc.

  • Fintech Industrial Banks and Beyond: How Banking Innovations Affect the Federal Safety Net
    FINTECH INDUSTRIAL BANKS AND BEYOND: HOW BANKING INNOVATIONS AFFECT THE FEDERAL SAFETY NET Cinar Oney* ABSTRACT The FinTech industry has been utilizing technological innovations to provide services traditionally offered by the banking and financial industry. Until now, many FinTech firms engaging in these activities had non-bank state licenses. The uncertainties surrounding their current business models and the desire to expand the operations led some of these firms to apply for industrial bank charters. An industrial bank charter is one of the few ways for a commercial firm to control a depository institution and allows FinTech firms to retain their technological investments that are not directly related to banking. However, access of these industrial banks to the federal insurance, payment services, and the discount window raise some concerns. It is claimed that the parent companies of these banks might gain an unfair advantage over their competitors, misguide their creditors, or limit their liabilities by benefitting from the federal subsidies given to the banking industry. This Note analyzes these claims and proposes two alternatives—credit card banks and state bank subsidiaries—for the FinTech firms seeking to engage in the business of banking. Particularly, engaging in non-bank activities through bank subsidiaries could eliminate some of the persistent moral hazard problems that the industrial bank model might entail. Although the industrial bank activities would not pose a significant risk to the federal safety net, these alternatives to the industrial banks could be preferable for sustaining the development of the FinTech industry as well as maintaining a safe and sound banking system.

  • From Bigtechs and Fintechs to Smartphones and Stablecoins Roundtable on Digitalisation German Institute for Japanese Studies
    Curtain up for the future of payments: from Bigtechs and Fintechs to Smartphones and Stablecoins Roundtable on Digitalisation German Institute for Japanese Studies 30.10.2019 | German Institute for Japanese Studies in Tokyo | Burkhard Balz Introduction FinTechs and BigTechs: new actors in the payments markets Smartphones: changes in user and payment behaviour Stablecoins: the challenge of Libra Possible answers and conclusions Introduction Ladies and gentlemen, Professor Waldenberger, [1] Thank you very much for inviting me here to the German Institute for Japanese Studies in Tokyo. I have to admit that, compared with the metropolis of Tokyo, my place of work – Frankfurt – feels like a village, to say nothing of my hometown of Stadthagen west of Hanover in charming Lower Saxony. Tokyo and Frankfurt, or rather Japan and Germany, are some 10,000 km – a 12-hour flight – apart, and they each have their own distinct culture with many special features. At the same time, our two countries share multiple ties and have a high degree of mutual appreciation. I also have the impression that the Japanese and Germans are not that dissimilar in many respects: 1) The Japanese are known for being very thorough and passionate about order, making them very similar to the Germans or even putting them one step ahead of us. 2) Many Japanese love beer. Just like we do … 3) And the Japanese have an affinity for cash – the same is not just said about the Germans, our payment behaviour studies provide research-based evidence of this. And yet, payment behaviour is being transformed by digitalisation, which brings me straight to the subject of my speech.
