The views expressed in this paper are those of the authors. No responsibility for them should be attributed to the Bank of Canada. 2 ISSN 1914-0568 © 2014 Bank of Canada Abstract The authors review recent developments in retail payments in Canada and elsewhere, with a focus on e-money products, and assess their potential public policy implications. In particular, they study how these developments will affect the demand for bank notes, and the central bank’s balance sheet and its seigniorage revenue, which as a result might affect the central bank’s ability to implement and conduct monetary policy and to promote financial stability. Other public policy issues, such as safety and efficiency, and user protection as well as legal, security and law enforcement, are also considered. While the demise of cash is not imminent, it is important for the central bank to continue to evaluate its potential roles with regard to e-money. JEL classification: E41, E42 Bank classification: Bank notes; E-money; Financial services; Payment clearing and settlement systems Résumé Les auteurs analysent l’évolution récente des paiements de détail au Canada et à l’étranger, en se concentrant sur les produits de monnaie électronique, et évaluent leur incidence possible sur les politiques publiques.

REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS 1.1 Europe: The European Central Bank (ECB) has published a report on card payments in Europe which focuses on the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) for cards. The report aims to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the status of card payments in Europe, including the impact of new technologies. A press release accompanying the report states that the Eurosystem is now turning its attention to the harmonisation of card payments following the near completion of the migration of credit transfers and direct debits under the SEPA Migration Regulation (260/2012). See the press release here and the report here. 1.2 Europe: The draft Payment Accounts Directive has been approved by the European Parliament and the Council of the EU has stated that it will also approve it without amendment. The Directive aims to facilitate payment account switching, improve transparency of the fees of payment accounts and give those legally resident in the EU the right to open a basic payment account which cannot be denied on grounds of nationality or residence. Under the agreed text, member states will have two years to transpose the Directive into national law. 1.3 Europe: The European Parliament has voted on amendments to the Second Payment Services Directive (PSD2) and Multilateral Interchange Fees Regulation (MIFR).
