Download or read book Pricing Debit Card Payment Services written by Wilko Bolt and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2003-10-01 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents a theoretical framework for analyzing pricing structures in debit card schemes featuring cardholders, retailers, their respective banks, and a network routing switch. The network routing switch controls the electronic debit card network and is jointly owned by the banks. In setting its prices, it needs to consider getting both consumers and retailers to participate in the market. In this two-sided market for debit cards, we show that the "double-monopolistic" network routing switch may want to supply consumers with cheap debit cards, deriving profits from charging a high retailer fee per transaction. This theoretic result resembles the current practice in the Netherlands where consumers pay no transaction fee, but retailers do. This corner solution carries over when we analyze socially optimal pricing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2011 the World Bank—with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation—launched the Global Findex database, the world's most comprehensive data set on how adults save, borrow, make payments, and manage risk. Drawing on survey data collected in collaboration with Gallup, Inc., the Global Findex database covers more than 140 economies around the world. The initial survey round was followed by a second one in 2014 and by a third in 2017. Compiled using nationally representative surveys of more than 150,000 adults age 15 and above in over 140 economies, The Global Findex Database 2017: Measuring Financial Inclusion and the Fintech Revolution includes updated indicators on access to and use of formal and informal financial services. It has additional data on the use of financial technology (or fintech), including the use of mobile phones and the Internet to conduct financial transactions. The data reveal opportunities to expand access to financial services among people who do not have an account—the unbanked—as well as to promote greater use of digital financial services among those who do have an account. The Global Findex database has become a mainstay of global efforts to promote financial inclusion. In addition to being widely cited by scholars and development practitioners, Global Findex data are used to track progress toward the World Bank goal of Universal Financial Access by 2020 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The database, the full text of the report, and the underlying country-level data for all figures—along with the questionnaire, the survey methodology, and other relevant materials—are available at www.worldbank.org/globalfindex.

Download or read book The Pros and Cons of Credit Versus Debit Cards written by Tony William and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-01-26 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A generation ago, it wasn't all that unusual to be out for dinner with friends or at the register with a cart full of groceries, and realize you didn't have enough cash to cover the bill. But today, you're likely to pull out a debit or credit card, and not think anything of it. It's hard now to imagine a time when those noncash options weren't available - especially if you were born in the 1970s or later. Credit cards have been around since the 1950s, and debit cards were introduced in the mid-1970s. By 2006, there were 984 million bank-issued Visa and MasterCard credit and debit cards in the United States alone . Although the two types of cards may be used interchangeably, there are notable difference between them. Let's start with debit cards. Debit cards are linked to your bank account so the money you spend is automatically deducted from your account. They provide a convenient alternative to cash, especially if you do a lot of shopping online. Debit cards can also help you budget. Use your card to pay your bills and day-to-day expenses, and your monthly statement will provide a good snapshot of how much you spend per month, and where it's going. There's another benefit as well: Many banks offer "overdraft protection" that allows you to exceed your balance. But you'll end up paying interest, and maybe extra fees, on the money you borrow from your overdraft account. Credit cards basically allow you to use someone else's money (the card issuer's) to make a purchase while you pay the money back later. If you do so within the billing period-generally, 15 to 45 days-you can avoid paying any interest on it. The problem arises, of course, when you don't pay the balance in full, and are change interest as well. That can quickly add up. If it takes you two years to pay off a $500 balance, for example, and you'll end up paying nearly $100 more in interest. If you use them responsibly, credit cards can offer other advantages. They help build your credit, as long as you pay your bills on time. Some also offer rewards that you can use to get gifts, cash back or discounts for products, services and special events. They also provide more protection if someone steals your card or bank information. If you notice a fraudulent charge on your credit card account, you can call the card issuer, make a dispute claim, and the charge should be removed from your balance. But if thieves steal your debit card information and use it, it may take weeks for the bank to investigate your claim and replace the lost funds. In the meantime, you may have to deal with a dwindling bank balance or bounced checks. For most people, using both a debit card and credit card makes sense. The key is not to spend more than you have with either. If you can do that, you'll be able to enjoy the benefits that each provide. Debit and credit cards are powerful tools for spending. They have everything you need to spend money overseas, in your hometown, and online.
