Properly functioning payment systems serve to “oil


the wheels” of the economy:

• Enhance stability of the financial system,

• Reduce transaction costs in the economy,

• Promote efficient use of financial resources,

• Improve financial market liquidity and the


velocity of money, and

• Facilitate the conduct of monetary policy.

Section 5
Opportunity or disruption?
Conclusions
1
Formal NPS has a tremendous capacity to absorb new channels, devices and form factors, as
well as new entrants in the value chain

2
Unlikely to have fundamental disruption of the basic card or electronic “rails” in
the short to medium term

3
Innovation concentrated around devices & channel options, customer interface,
authentication

4
Proprietary, closed loop payment solutions unlikely to succeed

5
Sometimes under-served pockets of inefficiency are exploited and enhanced
e.g. PayPal

6
Blockchain/ Distributed Ledger/ Cybercurrencies still immature and in an experimental/ hype
phase
