Digital banking

Digital Banking: Very important

National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) – Its Products & Services National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), is the umbrella organisation for all retail payment systems in India, which aims to allow all Indian citizens to have unrestricted access to e-payment services. Founded in 2008, NPCI is a not-for-profit organisation registered under section 8 of the Companies Act 2013. The organisation is owned by a consortium of major banks,[3] and has been promoted by the country’s central bank, the Reserve Bank of India. Its recent work of developing Unified Payments Interface aims to move India to a cashless society with only digital transactions. It has successfully completed the development of a domestic card payment network called RuPay, reducing the dependency on international card schemes. The RuPay card is now accepted at all the ATMs, Point-of-Sale terminals and most of the online merchants in the country. More than 300 cooperative banks and the Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) in the country have also issued RuPay ATM cards. More than 250 million cards have been issued by various banks, and it is growing at a rate of about 3 million per month. A variant of the card called ‘Kisan Card’ is now being issued by all the Public Sector Banks in addition to the mainstream debit card which has been issued by 43 banks. RuPay cards are also issued under the Jan Dhan Yojana scheme. NPCI has taken over NFS (National Financial Switch) operations from 14 December 2009 from IDRBT. Membership regulations and rules are being framed for enrolling all banks in the country as members so that when the nationwide payment systems are launched, all would get included on a standardized platform.
The key products of NPCI are: National Financial Switch (NFS) which connects 1, 98, 953 ATMs of 449 banks (91 Member Banks, 358 Sub- Member). Immediate Payment Service (IMPS) provided to 84 member banks, with more than 8.49 crore MMID (Mobile Money Identifier) issued, and crossed 10 million transactions.

RuPay – Domestic Card Scheme- has issued over 20 crore cards and enabled 10, 70, 000 PoS terminals in the country. The newest and most advanced addition to the NPCI revolution is the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) which has been launched on 11 April 2016. RuPay PaySecure - Over 20 banks now offer this authentication mechanism to their RuPay cardholders. The new transaction flow of Card + OTP has infused more simplicity to cardholders.

IMPS (Immediate Payment Services)
Immediate Payment Service (IMPS) is an instant real-time inter-bank electronic funds transfer system in India. IMPS offers an inter-bank electronic fund transfer service through mobile phones. Unlike NEFT and RTGS, the service is available 24/7 throughout the year including bank holidays. When one initiates a fund transfer via IMPS, the initiator bank sends a message to IMPS, which debits the money and sends it to the receiving account. All this happens within 5-10 seconds.
IMPS is an innovative real time payment service that is available round the clock. This service is offered by National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) that empowers customers to transfer money instantly through banks and RBI authorized Prepaid Payment Instrument Issuers (PPI) across India.
Benefits of IMPS Instant Available 24 x7 (functional even on holidays) Safe and secure, easily accessible and cost effective Channel Independent can be initiated from Mobile/ Internet / ATM channels

Debit & Credit Confirmation by SMS to both sender and receiver
National Unified USSD Platform (NUUP):
NUUP (National Unified USSD Platform) is a USSD based mobile banking service from NPCI that brings together all the Banks and Telecom Service Providers. In NUUP, a customer can access banking services by just pressing *99# from his/her mobile phones. This service works across all GSM mobile handsets.
IMPS transactions can be sent and received 24X7, (round the clock), including on holidays. Both sender & receiver get SMS confirmation.
For using IMPS on mobile phones, a customer will have to register for mobile banking with his/her individual bank. However, for initiating IMPS using Bank branch, Internet banking and ATM channels, no prior Mobile banking registration is required. Both banked as well as un-banked customer can avail IMPS. However, unbanked customer can initiate IMPS transaction using the services of Pre-Paid Payments instrument issuer (PPI). MMID - Mobile Money Identifier is a 7 digit number, issued by banks. MMID is one of the input which when clubbed with mobile number facilitates fund transfer. Combination of Mobile no. & MMID is uniquely linked with an Account number and helps in identifying the beneficiary details. Different MMID’s can be linked to same Mobile Number. (Please contact your bank for getting the MMID issued)
Options available for a customer for doing IMPS transaction
• Using Beneficiary Mobile no. and MMID
• Using Beneficiary Account no. and IFS Code
• Using Beneficiary Aadhaar Number
Bharat Interface for Money (BHIM) Bharat Interface for Money (BHIM) is an app that lets you make simple, easy and quick payment transactions using Unified Payments Interface (UPI).

Privacy: Allow a user to disable and enable mobilenumber@upi in the profile if a secondary VPA is created (QR for the disabled VPA is also disabled). **BHIM APP is available in play store (for android User) and App Store (for Apple User)** Bharat QR In a major push for seamless cashless transactions, Govt. of India has launched Bharat QR Code, which is world’s first interoperable payment platform. National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), which is the umbrella organisation for all digital and online retail payment systems in India, has developed this platform, which is expected to inspire and encourage more digital payments, without using debit or credit card. QR Codes are black and white two-dimensional machine readable code, which stores information about the merchant’s bank accounts and URLs. With Bharat QR Code interface, merchants need to take a printout of their QR code (or have a soft copy) and show it to the consumer, who can simply scan the code using his or her smartphone, and the payment would be made. Instantly, seamlessly and without any hassles. We had reported last year that Govt. is considering to create a common QR Code based payment mechanism, which has now been officially launched. The Retail industry is excited by its possibilities because QR code-based payments solves two major problems in a single go: a) less time consumed to make the payment, compared to debit/credit card b) no requirement to actually flash your credit/debit cards for making the payment. Here are some interesting facts about Bharat QR Code payment system, which every debit/credit holder (who is also a bank account holder) should be aware of: Smart Cards
The smartcards have increased data security, an active anti-fraud capabilities, multipurpose capabilities, flexibility in applications, and off-line validation. These functions are more or less inter-related but the most important of all is the high level of security provided by the smartcard compared to the other type of cards in operation. This makes it possible the use the smart cards in transactions dealing with money, property and personal data.

The Reserve Bank of India has set a target for banks to upgrade all ATMs by September 2017 with additional safety measures to process EMV chip and PIN cards in order to prevent skimming and cloning of debit and credit cards.
While the POS terminal infrastructure in the country has been enabled to accept and process EMV chip and PIN cards, the ATM infrastructure continues to process the card transactions based on data from the magnetic stripe. As a result, the ATM card transactions remain vulnerable to skimming, cloning, etc. frauds, even though the cards are EMV chip and PIN based.
It has become necessary to mandate EMV (Europay, MasterCard, Visa) chip and PIN card acceptance and processing at ATMs also. Contact chip processing of EMV chip and PIN cards at ATMs would not only enhance the safety and security of transactions at ATMs but also facilitate preparedness of the banks for the proposed “EMV Liability Shift” for ATM transactions, as and when it comes into effect.
Further, in order to ensure uniformity in card payments ecosystem, banks should also implement the new requirements at their micro-ATMs which are enabled to handle card-based payments.
CVV OR CSC NUMBER The CVV Number ("Card Verification Value") on credit card or debit card is a 3 digit number on VISA, MasterCard and Discover branded credit and debit cards. On American Express branded credit or debit card it is a 4 digit numeric code. The CVV number can be located by looking on credit or debit card, as illustrated in the image below: Providing the CVV number to an online merchant proves that one actually has the physical credit or debit card - and helps to keep one safe while reducing fraud. CVV numbers are NOT the card's secret PIN (Personal Identification Number). One should never enter one’s PIN number when asked to provide the CVV. (PIN numbers allow one to use one’s credit or debit card at an ATM or when making an in-person purchase with debit card or a cash advance with any credit card.) CVV numbers are also known as CSC numbers ("Card Security Code"), as well as CVV2 numbers, which are the same as CVV numbers, except that they have been generated by a 2nd generation process that makes them harder to "guess". In 2016, a new e-commerce technology called Motioncode was introduced, designed to automatically refresh the CVV code to a new one every hour or so.

Treasury management

Treasury Management ::

 (Read nice article)

Banks not only lend money to customers but also invest in securities such as Bonds and

Debentures of Government as well as Corporates. These instruments are easily tradable

in the capital and money market. The tradability of securities makes investments an

attractive option for banks for deployment of their funds. Further, banks buy securities

not only to trade but also to hold them till maturity to take advantage of the attractive

returns with relatively lower risk. Banks are allowed to invest in shares of companies.

However, the volumes are low due to associated high risk besides regulatory restrictions.

The investment portfolio of the banks broadly divided into three groups viz.,

Trading Book – Securities purchased with the intention of selling them within 90 days

are held in the trading book. Trading opportunities arise in the market on account of

fluctuation in interest rates and arbitrage opportunities.

Available for Sale (AFS) – Securities which are bought with the intention of selling

them but not necessarily within 90 days is considered to be AFS securities. They are also

part of the trading portfolio of the bank but only the time frame is different. Both the

trading and AFS securities have to be “Marked to Market” every quarter while finalization

of quarterly results.

Held to Maturity (HTM) – These securities are meant to be held till their date of

maturity and the purpose investing in them is to earn reasonable steady income. These

securities are carried in the books at cost or purchase price till maturity. Hence, HTM

securities need not be “Marked to Market” as the bank is certain of receiving the

maturity value on the specified date. Banks are not allowed to shift securities freely from

trading and AFS to the HTM book as this may lead to overstating of profit figures.

However, banks can opt for shifting only once in a year to adjust their overall portfolio.

Banks are permitted to exceed the limit of 25% of total investments under HTM category

provided (a) the excess comprises of only of SLR securities and (b) the total SLR

securities held in the HTM category is not more than 23% by March 2014.

Call Money Markets: Call and notice money market refers to the market for short term

funds ranging from overnight funds to funds for a maximum tenor of 14 days. Under Call

money market, funds are transacted on overnight basis where as in case of notice

money market; funds are transacted for the period of 2 days to 14 days.

Coupon Rate: It is a rate at which interest is paid, and is usually represented as a

percentage of the par value of a bond. It refers to the periodic interest payments that

are made by the borrower (who is also the issuer of the bond) to the lender (the

subscriber of the bond) and the coupons are stated upfront either directly specifying the

number (e.g.8%) or indirectly tying with a benchmark rate (e.g. MIBOR+0.5%).

Zero Coupon Bond / Deep Discount Bond: The bond is issued at a discount to its

face value, at which it will be redeemed. When such a bond is issued for a very long

tenor, the issue price is at a steep discount to the redemption value. The effective

interest earned by the buyer is the difference between the face value and the discounted

price at which the bond is bought. The essential feature of this type of bonds is the

absence of intermittent cash flows.

Commercial Paper (CP): It is a short-term instrument to enable non-banking

companies to borrow short-term funds through liquid money market instruments. CPs is

therefore part of the working capital limits as set by the maximum permissible bank

finance (MPBF). CP issues are regulated by RBI Guidelines issued from time to time

stipulating term, eligibility, limits and amount and method of issuance. CP can be issued

for maturities between a minimum of 7 days and a maximum up to one year from the

date of issue. The maturity date of the CP should not go beyond the date up to which the

credit rating of the issuer is valid. CP can be issued in denominations of `5 lakh and

multiples thereof. It is mandatory that CPs should be rated by credit rating agencies. In

a bid to make CPs attractive, the RBI has allowed issuers to buyback these instruments

through the secondary market before maturity. It attracts stamp duty.

Certificates of Deposits (CDs): It is a negotiable money market instrument and

issued in dematerialized form or as a Usance Promissory Note, for funds, deposited at a

bank or other eligible financial institutions to raise short-term resources within the

umbrella limit fixed by RBI. CDs may be issued at a discount on face value. CDs differ

from term deposit as they involve the creation of paper, and hence have the facility for

transfer and multiple ownerships before maturity. Banks use the CDs for borrowing

during a credit pickup, to the extent of shortage in incremental deposits. Minimum

amount of a CD should be one lakh and in multiples thereof. The maturity period of CDs

should be not less than 7 days and not more than one year. However FIs are allowed to

issue CDs not exceeding 3 years from the date of issue. Banks have to maintain the

appropriate reserve requirements (CRR/SLR) on the issue price of the CDs. It attracts

stamp duty. Banks/Fis cannot grant loans against CDs.

Mumbai Inter Bank Offered Rate (MIBOR) - Currently there are two calculating

agents for the benchmark viz., Reuters and the National Stock Exchange (NSE). The NSE

MIBOR benchmark is the more popular of the two and is based on rates polled by NSE

from a representative panel of 31 Banks / Institutions / Primary Dealers. It is used by

different Indian banks either for interbank lending of the surplus funds or for interbank

borrowing for meeting their short term liquidity requirements. MIBOR has been in use as

a reference/benchmark rate by the financial institutions for deciding interest rates for

the different financial instruments like Interest Rate Swaps, Forward Rate Agreements,

Floating Rate Debentures and Term Deposits, Loans of different maturities and

mortgages, etc. It is also the benchmark for the Call Money Market Rates.

Securitization is an effective tool to reduce the mismatches in the maturities of assets

and liabilities. It is a financing technique that involves pooling and re-packing of illiquid

financial assets in to marketable securities. There are six players viz., Borrowers,

Lending Banker (who becomes an originator for the Securitization transaction), Special

Purpose Vehicle (SPV), Credit Rating Agency, Investors and Service Providers. The

process of securitization involves identification of financial assets, rating of these assets

by the rating agency, creation of a SPV for handling the securitization transaction,

assignment of future receivables in favour of the SPV, issuance of marketable securities

based on these underlying financial assets and selling the same to the investors. The

service providers recover the amount periodically and remit to the SPV and who in turn

pass the benefit to the investors.

Asset and Liability Management – RBI Guidelines: Of late, it is observed that PSBs

have been accepting Bulk Deposits/Certificate of Deposits route to increase balance

sheet size at very high interest rates, adversely affecting the profitability besides

exposing the banks to ALM Risk. RBI directed banks not to accept Bulk Deposits beyond

10% of the total deposits and the total of Bulk Deposits & Certificates of Deposits should

not exceed 15% of total deposits of the bank at any given point of time. An appropriate

time-bound strategy for reduction of such existing bulk deposits should be put in place.

Adjusted Net Bank Credit (ANBC) denotes Net Bank Credit plus investments made

by banks in non-SLR bonds held in HTM category. However, investments made by banks

in the Recapitalization Bonds and Inter-bank exposures will not be taken into account for

the purpose of priority sector lending targets/sub-targets.

Subordinate Debt is a debt owed to an unsecured creditor that in the event of

liquidation can only be paid after the claims of secured creditors have been met.

Normally, subordinate debt ranks below other secured loans with regard to claims on

assets or earnings.
