  • Records Digitisation Technologies and Systems in the Banking Sector in Kenya
    Section 7: 329 Management of Electronic Records Records Digitisation Technologies and Systems in the Banking Sector in Kenya *Malenya Lusimba1, Tom Kwanya2 1Bank of Africa, Nairobi - Kenya 2The Technical University of Kenya, Kenya Email: *[email protected] Abstract Whereas some studies on digitisation in the banking sector in Kenya have been conducted, none has investigated the technologies and systems used as well as their suitability for the purpose. By using a fit-viability analysis, this chapter investigates the digital technologies and systems used by banks in Kenya to digitise their records; assesses their fit to the needs of the banks; examines their viability for the Kenyan banking environment; and proposes strategies to enhance the fit and viability of digitisation technologies and systems to the Kenyan context as a means of enhancing the benefits of digitisation for banks in the country. The study from which the chapter is extracted was an exploratory survey. Primary data was collected using key informant interviews from records managers of various banks selected through information-oriented purposive sampling. The data was analysed using conversation analysis. The results of the study reveal that banks in Kenya use diverse systems to digitise records. These systems fit the requirements of the banks and are viable in their economic, infrastructural and organisational contexts. Keywords: Banks, Digitisation, Digital Records, Fit-Viability Analysis, Kenya 1 Introduction Kenya’s financial system comprises of numerous commercial banks, non-bank financial institutions, a range of insurance companies and a stock exchange. Similarly, there has been a phenomenal growth of non-bank financial intermediaries. The insurance industry has also experienced a rapid expansion, both in terms of firms and customer numbers and range of services offered.

  • Survey of Developments in Electronic Money and Internet and Mobile Payments
    Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems Survey of developments in electronic money and internet and mobile payments March 2004 Copies of publications are available from: Bank for International Settlements Press & Communications CH-4002 Basel, Switzerland E-mail: [email protected] Fax: +41 61 280 9100 and +41 61 280 8100 This publication is available on the BIS website (www.bis.org). © Bank for International Settlements 2004. All rights reserved. Brief excerpts may be reproduced or translated provided the source is cited. ISBN 92-9131-667-9 (print) ISBN 92-9197-667-9 (online) Foreword A number of innovative products for making payments have been developed in recent years, taking advantage of rapid technological progress and financial market development. Transactions made using these innovative products are accounting for an increasing proportion of the volume and value of domestic and cross-border retail payments. The possibility of electronic money taking over from physical cash for most small-value payments continues to evoke considerable interest among both the public and the various authorities concerned, including central banks. Although e-money has not been a very dynamic area in the field of retail payments recently, its development raises policy issues for central banks as regards payment system oversight, the possible implications for central banks’ revenues and the implementation of monetary policy. In view of these potential policy concerns, in 1996 the G10 central bank Governors announced their intention to closely monitor the evolution of electronic money schemes and products and, while respecting competition and innovation, to take any appropriate action if necessary. The Governors asked the BIS to monitor the developments of these new products on a regular and, as far as possible, global basis.
