  1. “Financial Possibilities of a Client – Electronic Payments and Financial Services” 20.10.2010 Assist. Prof. Kemal Kozarić, Ph.D.

  2. Cash Management in the CBBH • The process of management of KM cash is one of the most risky operations of the central bank • The objective is to regularly supply economy with KM cash which is the legal tender in BH • The Central Bank has a monopoly on the process of production of KM cash, its putting into circulation, withdrawal and destruction (articles 39, 43 and 44 of the CBBH Law) • Putting and withdrawing KM cash in/from circulation is performed by the central bank through commercial banks which hold their reserve accounts opened in the CBBH books • The mentioned activities are done in accordance with the currency board as the applicable arrangement of monetary policy in BH

  3. Cash Management Risk • Reputational risks in cash management: • Interruption in supply of economy with KM cash • Inadequate level of protection of KM banknotes during printing which makes possible the production of “good quality” counterfeits • The quality of counterfeits made so far is at a very low level • Slow, i.e. insufficiently fast withdrawal of banknotes unfit for circulation which affects the decrease of the quality of currency in circulation • App. 30% of banknotes received by the CBBH from commercial banks is classified as unfit for circulation

  9. Continuous Work on the Increase of Security • Protection from counterfeits : • Three levels of known security features • Education of staff in vaults and at bank windows • Education of people working in places with high frequency of cash payments (post offices, shopping centres...) • Education of citizens – information campaigns of the CBBH, web site of the CBBH (interactive animations with security features of all banknotes) • Promotion of non-cash payments – card operations and e-banking • Security of cash transport: • Insisting on raising the level of standards in the protection of cash transports and implementation of these standards • To introduce the best quality technologies– satellite surveillance, cryptoprotection ... • To use the possibilites of electronic inter-bank money market platform

  10. Non-cash Payments: • Card operations • 26 banks offer these services • 1.75 million of issued cards (31.12.2009), increase of 140,000 cards compared to the end of 2008. • The highest number of debit cards (VISA and MAESTRO) • 2009: 1,355 ATMs, 16,259 POSs, while in 2008 there were 901 ATMsand 15,968 POSs • KM 4.9 billion realized in 2009, increase of 24% compared to the previous year • 74% ATMs : 26% POSs • POS: 49% cash 51% payment of goods and services (around KM 1.3 billion) • In 2009 the number of issued cards increased by 142,002 compared to 2008.

  11. Non-cash payments: • Card operations • The average value of transaction is around KM 141 • The annual average value of transaction in 2009 amounted to KM 2,779 KM • On ATMsand POSs abroad, KM 210 million was realized by means of cards from BH (payment of goods and services KM 116 million, the remaining part applies to cash) • On ATMsand POSs in BH, KM 697 million was realized by means of cards from other countries (payment of goods and services KM 138 million, the remaining part applies to cash) • The data show a low level of penetration of this service on the market – most of transactions come down to collecting cash

  12. Risks of Non-cash Payments • Counterfeiting of cards; • “Scanning” of cards and stealing of PINs • Inadequate education of users – subject to mistakes in performing transactions and subject to fraud and misuse • Poor average standard of citizens has a negative effect on the penetretation of services • The problem of poor transparency of commercial banks when presenting costs of services • Clients avoid such services with good reasons – lack of information and banks not offering sufficent user education

  13. Advantages of Non-cash Payments • Your money is with you 24-7 • Easier keeping of money • Easier use in foreign countries (no need for conversions and exchanges in exchange offices) • Increased safety– more difficult to counterfeit, cards and tokens can be blocked in case they are stolen • Indirectly increases the duration of cash in circulation
