  • Modeling Payments Regulation and Financial Change
    Modeling Payments Regulation and Financial Change Matthew W. Swinehart* INTRODUCTION The dominant narrative about changes in financial technology—or “fintech” in today’s gushing parlance—is that the financial services industry is undergoing nothing short of a revolution.1 No part of the financial sector has a better claim to that revolution narrative than payment services, which every year move more than a quadrillion—or one thousand trillion—U.S. dollars globally2 and more than 175 trillion U.S. dollars in the United States alone.3 In the last two decades, payments have moved away from cash, paper checks, and other relatively slow and expensive mechanisms to incrementally faster and cheaper digital payment services. Digital payments now account for more than 80 percent of all U.S. consumer * Matthew Swinehart is the Counsel for International Trade and Financial Regulatory Policy, and Lead Financial Services Negotiator, at the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

  • Debt Collection of Financial Technology Lending
    Debt Collection of Financial Technology Lending Gika Asdina Firanda1*, Paramita Prananingtyas1, Sartika Nanda Lestari1 {[email protected]*1 [email protected] [email protected]} Fakultas Hukum, Universitas Diponegoro, Jl. Prof. H. Soedarto, S.H., Tembalang, Semarang, Indonesia 502751 Abstract. Peer-to-peer (P2P) Lending or known as an Online Loans is an alternative way to borrowing money based on information technology. Unlike credit in banking, P2P Lending does not adhere to the principle of 5C (Character, Capacity, Capital, Collateral, Condition) as a reference for eligibility, and therefore many do not pay it off and this rises the use of debt collectors. Financial services authority (OJK) is a regulatory agency authorized to oversee P2P Lending as a whole. The problem that forms the basis of this research is how financial services authority supervises and follows up towards debt collector’s problems of P2P Lending. The method used in this research is normative juridical approach with descriptive-analytical. The analysis method used is qualitative. This research uses the secondary data obtained from the literature study consisting of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. Based on the research, it concludes the authority and supervision of OJK in P2P Lending based on three ways, namely on-site, off-site, and market conduct. In a market conduct, OJK appoints an association that will assist them in terms of regulation and supervision of P2P Lending. The follow up of the OJK regarding the problem of debt collection is through written sanctions to revocation of the P2P Lending provider’s business license. Keywords: P2P Lending, Otoritas Jasa Keuangan Supervision, Debt Collection.

It draws on the classical theory of banking and the literature on digital transfor- Glasgow, UK mation. It provides an explanation for existing trends and, by extending the theory of the banking frm, it illustrates how fnancial intermediation will be impacted by innova- tive fnancial technology applications. It further reviews the options that established banks will have to consider in order to mitigate the threat to their proftability. Deposit taking and lending are considered in the context of the challenge made from shadow banking and the all-digital banks. The paper contributes to an understanding of the future of banking, providing a framework for scholarly empirical investigation. In the discussion, four possible strategies are proposed for market participants, (1) customer retention, (2) customer acquisition, (3) banking as a service and (4) social media pay- ment platforms. It is concluded that, in an increasingly digital world, trust will remain at the core of banking. That said, liquidity transformation will still have an important role to play. The nature of banking and fnancial services, however, will change dramatically.

  • Financial Technology Adoption
    Financial Technology Adoption Sean Higgins Northwestern University∗ December 10, 2020 Abstract Do coordination failures constrain financial technology adoption? Exploiting the Mexi- can government’s rollout of one million debit cards to poor households from 2009–2012, I examine responses on both sides of the market, and find important spillovers and dis- tributional impacts. On the supply side, small retail firms adopted point-of-sale termi- nals to accept card payments. On the demand side, this led to a 21% increase in other consumers’ card adoption. The supply-side technology adoption response had positive effects on both richer consumers and small retail firms: richer consumers shifted 13% of their supermarket consumption to small retailers, whose sales and profits increased. ∗Department of Finance, Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University. sean.higgins@kellogg. northwestern.edu.

  • Regulatory Approaches to Financial Technology
    REGULATORY APPROACHES TO FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY National Association of Federally-Insured Credit Unions NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FEDERALLY-INSURED CREDIT UNIONS | NAFCU.ORG | 1 REGULATORY APPROACHES TO FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY The rapid evolution of financial technology (fintech) presents credit unions with challenges and opportunities across a variety of domains. To remain competitive and relevant in today’s financial marketplace, credit unions must consider whether to invest in new technologies, partner with fintech companies, or focus on existing services to achieve member satisfaction and growth. As part of this strategic process, credit unions should be aware that regulatory expectations for financial technology are also in a state of flux. Federal banking agencies have already implemented policy changes and pursued rulemakings to accommodate the emergence of new technologies and business models. Recent actions include the introduction of specialized chartering options, regulatory sandboxes, and data sharing principles to promote innovation. While fintech may not fundamentally change the business of banking, it has the potential to influence regulatory expectations regarding how best to balance traditional supervisory approaches with the desire to foster experimentation and improved flexibility. In this context, NAFCU believes that both Congress and regulators must ensure that when fintechs compete with traditional financial institutions, they do so on a level playing field where smart regulations and consumer protections apply to all actors in the consumer marketplace.

The mitigating effect is mainly in the reduction of information asymmetry and the upgrading of risk forecasting indicators; at the same time, excessive debt leverage can also lead to systemic risk due to the correlation between different sectors of the economy.
