All rights reserved. Brief excerpts may be reproduced or translated provided the source is cited. ISBN 92-9131-877-9 (print) ISBN 92-9197-877-9 (online) Foreword The Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems (CPSS) publishes – under the aegis of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) – reference works on the payment systems and other financial market infrastructures of various countries, widely known as Red Books. The Red Book for the CPSS countries was last published in April 2003. After the enlargement of the CPSS to 24 countries in 2009, this edition of the Red Book for the CPSS countries is in two volumes. This first volume comprises 10 CPSS countries: Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, Korea, Mexico, Russia, Singapore, Sweden and Switzerland. The second volume, which covers Belgium, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong SAR, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States and also has chapters on the euro area and international payment arrangements, is planned to be published in 2012. Properly functioning financial market infrastructures enhance the stability of the financial sector, reduce transaction costs in the economy, promote the efficient use of financial resources, improve financial market liquidity and facilitate the conduct of monetary policy. I hope that this new edition of the CPSS Red Book will contribute to the general understanding and awareness of these issues by providing information on the arrangements in the CPSS countries. I would like to thank all those who contributed to the publication of this Red Book by writing their country texts. Thanks also to the BIS staff for making this volume ready for publication, and particularly to David Maurer, who coordinated the production and led the process of editing the country texts.

  • PIN Debit Networks November 7, 2013
    Meeting Between Federal Reserve Board Staff and Representatives of PIN Debit Networks November 7, 2013 Participants: Louise Roseman, Stephanie Martin, Jeffrey Marquardt, Susan Foley, David Mills, Samantha Pelosi, Mark Manuszak, Krzysztof Wozniak, Tyler Standage, Aaron Rosenbaum, and Linda Healey (Federal Reserve Board) Terry Maher (Baird Holm LLP); Leah Work (CO-OP Financial Services); Jonathan Genovese and Rob Rankin (Jeanie Network); Cathy Morrissey (NETS); Robert Woodbury (NYCE Payments Network); Judith McGuire (PULSE); Scott Dobesh and Terry Dooley (Shazam Network); Nancy Loomis (Star Network); Paul Tomasofsky (Two Sparrows Consulting) Summary: Representatives of several PIN debit networks met with Federal Reserve Board staff to discuss their observations of market developments related to deployment of EMV (i.e., chip-based) debit cards in the United States. Issues discussed included (i) technological aspects of EMV payment cards with a focus on methods for enabling multiple networks on an EMV card, and (ii) the network participants’ views of issuer, merchant, and payment card network concerns related to EMV deployment, particularly as those concerns pertain to Regulation II’s prohibition on network exclusivity and merchant routing restrictions. In particular, the network representatives stressed the importance of industry adoption of an EMV model that best facilitates merchant routing choice, and expressed concern that the current approach advocated by Visa and MasterCard does not meet this objective.

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.
