  • 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.

  • Designing a Sustainable Digital Bank Learning from the Digital Pioneers
    IBM Sales and Distribution Banking White Paper Executive Summary Designing a sustainable digital bank Learning from the digital pioneers In an era of unprecedented change, technology offers banking clients greater access to information than ever before. Out of this revolutionary advance, a new class of smarter and more demanding customers has emerged. In tandem, new financial players are moving quickly to offer new compelling digital services. As with every major change triggered by technological advancement, there are clear winners and those who are unable to adapt. Banks that embrace digitization have an opportunity to generate new business value and better engage with their customers. The surge of new entrants riding the digital wave Banking has traditionally been a conservative industry that enjoys rela- tively high barriers to entry due to regulations that restrain access for non-bank competitors. New digital technologies—driven by cloud, mobile, social and analytics—have drastically lower entry barriers. Regulators in many countries have also relaxed regulations to encourage innovations in the banking industry. As a result, many new all-digital financial services firms, unencumbered by older less agile systems are aggressively pursuing customers by addressing their needs in new and dis- tinct ways. For instance, Chinese internet giant Tencent created WeBank hoping to capitalize on its vast user base of microblogging and peer-to- peer chatting services. E-commerce leaders such as Tesco in Europe, Rakuten in Asia-Pacific and Walmart in the US have also entered the IBM Sales and Distribution Banking White Paper Executive Summary banking sector.

  • 5 Neobanks: Creating a Digital Bank from Scratch
    Digital Economy Outlook January 2016 5 Neobanks: creating a digital bank from scratch Making banking licences easier to obtain paves the way for new players Among the FinTech firms, some aspire to become banks and to provide a purely digital alternative to traditional institutions. Up to now, the biggest stumbling block they had run up against had been the complexity and cost when it came to obtaining a banking licence, but in the UK steps have already been taken to simplify this process, which has spawned several “neobanks”. Introduction A feature of the emerging companies within the financial sector (FinTechs) is that they specialise in a single product, where their greater flexibility and a better customer experience, as well as the lighter regulatory shackles, affords them a competitive advantage compared to the traditional banks. The segments of the banking value chain where most of these have sprung into being are in payments, and more recently lending to individuals and small businesses. A major group among those companies which seek to become protagonists in the financial lives of people or their reference bank are the so-called “neobanks”. These banks aspire to meet the financial needs of a very large portion of the population who have no need for sophisticated products. They basically use digital channels, especially or exclusively mobiles, and above all target customers from among the younger generations who are more willing to accept a bank with no physical presence. The range of products they offer is based on current and savings accounts, debit and pre-paid cards, basic services such as wiring money peer-to-peer, combined with various different financial management tools (help with savings schemes, and handling expenses and payments via alerts and messages etc.).
