DOWNLOAD EBOOKInnovation in banking should be directed at improving the infrastructure that fosters efficient financial services and international trade. In this work, innovation theory is used to show how modern payment systems have transformed the technology of banking and facilitated changes in the strategy and structure of financial services organisations. Design, implementation and dissemination of payment systems are described and the analysis of their costs and benefits is combined with case studies of banks undergoing change. By studying firm capabilities, competencies, and resources, the approach is extended to services in general and linked to the ability of firms to compete and promote national economies. Payment systems vary and advanced and developing economies face obstacles in their legal and technical infrastructure, and maturity of banks. By adopting an international perspective, the book offers a unique comparative analysis that shows what kind of investments are likely to be effective.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKGlobally, a variety of innovative technologies are emerging and traditional economic activities are gradually shifting to the digital economy. Among these, in the retail payment sector, which deals with customer contact and payment information, a trend to review interbank retail payment systems is occurring in many countries. The UK initiative has led the way, and similar efforts to instantiate and remake retail payment systems into new systems have been underway in various countries. One of the reasons of the reviews is the fact that, from the user's point of view, there are many aspects of payment services provided by companies that are not user-friendly. In the Japanese retail payments sector, there are various issues such as lack of interoperability, and the government and the banking industry are working to improve these issues. This paper focuses on providing recommendations for the Japanese case. It examines the state of the retail payment systems, considering the payment systems as a quasi-public social infrastructure that can affect all industries, rather than simply a system in the financial sector. More specifically, this paper focuses on the interbank retail fast payment systems and mobile payments based on it, while taking a broad view of the retail payment system, including its regulatory framework. There are various stakeholders with different perspectives in the retail payment system, and the central bank has a neutral perspective and can be the best entity that could provide the system. In reviewing the retail payment system, it is desirable for stakeholders to compare multiple design options and make decisions after clarifying the performance and functions they need. In the Japanese case, the best design option in the short term would be to utilize the banking industry's Cotra system while applying regulations to ensure interoperability, and in the long term, the central bank could provide the system, including the issuance of Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). This paper aims to provide a new perspective to stakeholders of the Japanese retail payment system and contribute to the discussion on the future review of it.

Contributions assume a long-term outlook in their exploration of the key financial processes and systems that support a global transition to a cashless economy. The volume offers both modern and historic accounts that demonstrate the constantly changing role of payment instruments. It brings together different theoretical approaches to the study, re-examining and forecasting changes in retail payment systems. Chapters explore a global transition to a cashless society and contemplate future alternatives to cash, cheques and plastic, featuring the perspectives of academics from different disciplines in conversation and industry participants from six continents.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"In June 2010, the Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems (CPSS) set up a working group to investigate developments in retail payments, focusing especially on innovations. This report, produced by that group, first provides an overview of innovative retail payment activities in the CPSS and other selected countries from a fact-finding exercise, which attempted to cover influential developments in retail payment instruments and schemes over the past decade. Based on the trends observed and the economics of retail payments, the report identifies a number of exogenous and endogenous factors that could serve as drivers for retail payment innovations or as barriers to them. The analysis was also used to suggest some pointers as to what can be expected over the next five years. Finally, the report identifies a number of issues for central banks concerning their various responsibilities and tasks as catalysts, overseers and/or operators of payment systems."--Abstract.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis edited volume offers a new and original approach to the study of technological change in retail finance. Documenting developments in the US alongside case studies from Mexico and Europe, Technological Innovation in Retail Finance addresses the variety of financial institutions that populated the markets for retail finance. It offers a massive research base reflecting not only breadth of contributor interests, but also a unity of purpose that comes from several workshops and comments on each other's work. Technological innovation had a major role in the shaping and developing of administrative procedures, routines, and capabilities in organizations offering retail financial services. Indeed, with the exception of contemporary case studies for the UK, the current ‘state of the art’ in the study of the computerization of financial services from an historical perspective is overwhelmingly focused on developments in the USA. This volume overcomes the usual bias towards the so called ‘Atlantic continuity’ in the understanding of technological change related to applications of information and telecommunication technologies (ICT) by offering a number of sources of distinctiveness. It shows when and how technological change altered the competitive intensity in the markets for retail finance.
