  1. e-Payment and e-Purse : a Reasoned Approach André-Jacques Selezneff Vice-President Low Value & Proximity Payment Solutions MasterCard Europe

  2. Summary • Review of electronic payment means for individual card holders • An approach of costs • Evolution Perspectives for payment techniques and consequences on costs

  3. Review of electronic payment means for individual card holders

  4. Existing electronic payment means • MasterCard Credit Card : • does not allow transactions anonymity • “Classical” Maestro Debit Card : • problem if no banking account • Maestro “Pre-Paid” : • communication cost might be too high for low value transactions

  5. Market situation for e-Payment Means • Market pulls card transactions towards low value amounts • e-Purse World Market unclear: • multiple incompatible national solutions • no cross-border inter-operability • e-Purse Choice too often technical • Security is important when business exists

  6. MasterCard's Low Value Payments offer • Pre-Authorised Debit on M/Chip4: • standard EMV debit transactions, • no on-line authorisation • Clip e-Purse: • derived from existing transactions processing tools • dedicated infrastructure • Mondex: • THE MasterCard solution for "electronic cash" • dedicated infrastructure

  7. Future for Electronic Payment • EMV (M/Chip 4 in MasterCard) offers members multiple features for debit / credit and for low value payments • M/Chip 4 incorporates known needs for face-to-face payments, as well as new needs like : • distant payments (on Internet, through GSM, …) • low value payments (e-purse type) • payment means for new customers (youth, newly employed, partners' clients…)

  8. An approach of Costs

  9. The Dream ! Principle of cost structure per scheme type Total Cost Volumes

  10. 2 1 2 Learning Cost 1 Learning Time Actual Cost Structure with successive scheme types The hard facts of life Total Cost Volumes

  11. Learning Cost Learning Time Actual Cost Structure with successive scheme types Total Cost Required € Volumes Volumes

  12. Transaction Cost : hard facts • debit/credit needs telecommunication  • cost = telecomm and authorisation + processing • commissions just allow Bank to cover costs on LVP • e-Purse needs neither telecommunication nor on-line authorisation • allows Bank to make money •  estimated minimum transaction value 0,10 €

  13. Evolution Perspectives for payment techniques and consequences on costs

  14. e-Payment: infrastructure issue e-Payment deployment is • Comparable to • Fortresses of XVIth century • Railways of XIXth century • Tap water of the 50's • Electricity of the 60's • Highways and Nuclear Plants of the 70's • Telephone and Prestel/Minitel/BST of the 80's • Pay-TV and Payment Cards of the 90's • Internet and ADSL in this early XXIth century a long lasting operation

  15. e-Payment and Transaction Costs • e-Payment  e-Authentication • Needs a new technical infrastructure • Long Return on Investment: • Characteristic of infrastructure • Amortisation increases cost to charge • Bank • complex job, difficult communication • Tariff per transaction well accepted for credit / debit

  16. e-Payment and Transaction Costs • Issue : Users have for centuries considered cash as « free » • difficult to charge e-purse « service » to card holder • necessary to reduce costs • Answer : Shared Infrastructure • decreases per-application costs • opportunity to offer new applications • Marketing issue, not technical one

  17. Other issues to address • e-Purse « limited » to low amounts • Undefined Risks? • Yet undefined Market? • Deployment complexity? • Lack of trust in technology? • Time required by users to get to grips with a new product? ? !! ? ! !!

  18. Suggestions • Shared Infrastructure • Rely on EMV deployment • Debit / Credit EMV allows DDA • Same security than for e-Purse • Abrandis NOT necessary for Low Value Payment products, IF solution is independent from the underlying technology

  19. The EMV obligation (1) • EMV-based LVP solution is an absolutenecessity to compensate for reduced revenue due to new interchange rates regulation

  20. The EMV obligation (2) • EMV-based LVP solution is an absolutenecessity to allow exploring new "low value payment" market, while • limiting required initial investment, • accessing an immediately available acceptance infrastructure, • guaranteeing cross-border interoperability.

  21. The EMV obligation (3) • EMV-based LVP solution is an absolutenecessity • to help Members amortise EMV investment • whilst fully leveragin efforts spent at the occasion of EMV deployment

  22. Proposed Approach • Pre-Authorised Debit on M/Chip4 allow quick access to interoperable pre-paid market • Acceptance rules based on existing programmes • Adaptation of e-Purse solution on EMV once business is existing Results in • solution available today • consistent Card products offer with guaranteed future.
