  • Effects of Automated Teller Machine on the Performance of Nigerian Banks
    American Journal of Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2014, Vol. 2, No. 1, 40-46 Available online at http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajams/2/1/7 © Science and Education Publishing DOI:10.12691/ajams-2-1-7 Effects of Automated Teller Machine on the Performance of Nigerian Banks Jegede C.A.* Department of Accounting and finance, Lagos State University, Ojo, Nigeria *Corresponding author: [email protected] Received August 07, 2013; Revised August 24, 2013; Accepted February 07, 2014 Abstract This study investigates the effects of ATM on the performance of Nigerian banks. Available studies have concentrated on the significant dimensions of ATM (automated teller machine) service quality and its effect on customer satisfaction with a bias against ATM producers. The study is motivated by the astronomical challenges confronting the proliferation of ATM infrastructure and attendant financial losss to banks which are often under- reported. Also, there are serious debate on the relevance of ATM technology as most countries in the world are moving away from the virus technology to the more secured chip cards free of credit and debit frauds. Questionnaire was used to collect the data from a convenience sample of 125 employees of five selected banks in Lagos State with interswitch network. Therefore, data collected through the questionnaire were analyzed statistically by using the Software Package for Social Science (SPSS Version 20.0 for Student Version) and chi-square technique. The results indicate that less than the benefits, the deployment of ATMs terminals have averagely improved the performance of Nigerian banks because of the alarming rate of ATM fraud.

  • Central Banking Institutions and Traditions in West Germany After the War by Jörg Bibow the Levy Economics Institute May 2004
    Working Paper No. 406 Investigating the Intellectual Origins of Euroland’s Macroeconomic Policy Regime: Central Banking Institutions and Traditions in West Germany After the War by Jörg Bibow The Levy Economics Institute May 2004 “The reasons for the success of German monetary policy in defending price stability are in part historical. The experience gained twice with hyperinflation in the first half of this century has helped to develop a special sensitivity to inflation and has caused the wider public to believe in the critical importance of monetary stability in Germany. For this reason, the strong position of the Bundesbank is widely accepted by the general public - questioning its independence even seems to be a national taboo. This social consensus has yielded strong support for the policy of the Bundesbank. … No government has ever seriously considered modifying the Bundesbank Act as a means to deal with cases of conflict, although it could have done so with a simple majority of the Parliament. Historical experience in Germany testifies to the success of the concept of an independent central bank. Inflation rates have remained far below the average rates of most other industrial countries. Stable prices have contributed to a fairly stable social climate, which is felt to have favored growth of the German economy; this has strengthened its role in the world economy. The German currency, the Deutsche Mark, has become a major reserve currency in the world and the “anchor currency” in the European Monetary System, and it enjoys a high standing. ... In the light of the success of the Bundesbank, it is only natural that the German public will expect that any successor, which could take its place at the European level, should be at least as well equipped as the Bundesbank to defend price stability” (Hans Tietmeyer 1991: 182-3; Bundesbank president 1993-9).

  • Appendix D – Fundamentals of the Funds Transfer Process
    appendix d – Fundamentals of the funds transfer process Essentially, an electronic funds transfer is a transaction by which funds move from one institution to another or one account to another at the direction of an institution’s customer and through the transmission of electronic instruction messages that cause the institutions to make the required bookkeeping entries and make the funds available. Funds transfers are the primary mechanism used by the business community for fast and reliable transfer of funds between two parties. The funds transfer process generally consists of a series of electronic messages sent between financial institutions directing each to make the debit and credit accounting entries necessary to complete the transaction. A funds transfer can generally be described as a series of payment instruction messages, beginning with the originator’s (sending customer’s) instructions, and including a series of further instructions between the participating institutions, with the purpose of making payment to the beneficiary (receiving customer). The “players” that may be involved in a funds transfer transaction include: • Originator, e.g., individual, business entity - the initiator of a funds transfer; • Beneficiary - the ultimate party to be credited or paid as a result of a funds transfer; • Originator’s Financial Institution - the financial institution receiving the transfer instructions from the originator and transmitting the instructions to the next party in the funds transfer; • Beneficiary’s Financial Institution - the financial institution that is to credit or pay the beneficiary party; and • Additional Financial Institutions - other institutions that may be required to effect the transaction. The simplest funds transfers occur between two customers of a single financial institution.
