Factors Impacting Payment Market Development • Macro/Socioeconomic Factors • Demographics – Higher proportion of young people in the regional/national population could lead to faster adoption of new payment methods • Unbanked Population – High proportion of consumers with no formal banking relationship will also lead to rapid uptake of new payment methods • GDP Growth – Rapidly growing economies generate a greater number of new market entrants and faster adoption of new types of payment methods • Average Real-Income Growth – Markets with relatively high real-income growth foster increases in average payments values and favorable returns on investments in payments innovation. • Export-Import Balance – Cross-border trade growth leads to greater opportunities for high-margin payments products (but also heightens competition) Source: Boston Consulting Group: Winning After the Storm, 2011
Factors Impacting Payment Market Development • Macro/Socioeconomic Factors • Regulatory Outlook – Rigorous government regulation can have a dramatic impact on payments economics, sometimes necessitating strategic transformations. • Infrastructure – Active government involvement in building payments infrastructure can have large implications on the pace of market evolution and potential profit pools. • Industry Factors • Mix of Payments Instruments – Greater use of cash and checks can generate high potential to capture new payments flows, resulting in new market entrants and the likelihood of more innovation • Efficiency Level – In inefficient markets with a low degree of operational excellence, new market entrants are more likely to excel.

Key Concepts and Definitions • Large value payments A somewhat generic term generally used to describe electronic, RTGS payments. What are described as wire transfers generally fall into this category. Historically, these payments types were used primarily for large payments because they were expensive. But, there is no official amount threshold that delimits them. Most international payments fall into this broad category. • Small value payments Typically smaller electronic payments processed in batches. These payments are generally not time sensitive, and are processed on a store and forward basis. They also typically are not final and irrevocable. These payments are usually less expensive to process as their smaller amounts make it harder to justify expensive processing. US ACH payments are an example of this type of payment. Small value processing is historically limited to domestic payments, though this is gradually changing.
Continued Global Migration from Paper-to-Electronic • Businesses are responding to forces of economic pressures, scalability, risk management, and environmental consciousness by accelerating the transition from paper to electronic processing Distribution of the number of noncash payments Total US check transactions (bn) 2006 2011 Source: The 2010 Federal Reserve Payments Study based on 2006, 2009 volumes • Over 10mm individuals are unbanked in the US, challenging electronification of certain payments (e.g. payroll), providing opportunity for payroll cards
Let’s Dig Deeper….What is International ACH? • ACH (Automated Clearing House) is a US system/process for lower value, non-urgent payments and collections • International ACH—an international payment and collection process that leverages in-country clearing systems • Provides a cost effective method for corporate clients to make high volume payments such as • Payroll • Accounts Payable • Dividends • Expense Reimbursement • Payments and/or Collections are made to • Vendors • Businesses • Consumers • Employees
Why International ACH? • Customers looking for cost effective reliable payment channels • Improved experience for the beneficiary • No lifting fees on originated transactions • Increased awareness in the market • Customers are asking for International ACH • Provides dual revenue source • Fee income • Foreign exchange revenue • Leverages domestic ACH system • Intelligent use of communication, delivery channels and billing processes and expertise
Customer Benefits and Value Proposition • Reduced funds movement costs • More predictable cash flow • Integrated disbursements • Electronic return reporting • Fast confirmation • Settlement on a specified value date • Full value of item received by beneficiary • Reduced need to maintain multiple bank relationships globally

Differences Between US ACH and International ACH • There is no such thing as true Global or International ACH! • No international standard • No standards or common rules • No centralized system • No “international version” of US prenotification process • Longer settlement time/varies by country • Different formats for account numbers and routing numbers • Different holiday schedules • In most countries, reversals are not allowed • In most countries, must pay in local currency • Differing debit rules in country • Some countries have no low value system or it is an immature system • Local language requirements for clearing systems
IPFA Concept • Defining rules, standards and operating framework • Simplifying non-urgent cross-border credit transfers • Leveraging existing payment networks and international standards e.g. ISO 20022 • Enabling interoperability between domestic and regional non-urgent payments systems and banks • Why? • Globalization is continuing to drive a broader base of clients who demand cost-effective, less complex payment services with a wider reach • The International Payments Framework approach is to enable locally originated non-urgent credit transfers to reach markets around the world • Leverage existing “railways”, enhancing existing “rules” and deploying existing international “standards” • Increased regulatory requirements requires institutions to collaborate with counter-parts in order to ensure compliance

Payment Behavior and Trends differ Greatly by Region • Europe: • Snapshot: • Credit transfer and debit card are most frequently used non-cash payment types. Credit cards have not been embraced in this region, except in the UK. Innovation is not as extensive as in developing regions due to high level of electronic payment adoption and low unbanked population. • Trends: • Significant margin pressure across region (e.g. SEPA-driven consolidation and regulations are shrinking transaction fees) pushing need to manage costs • Less mature markets (e.g. Eastern Europe) will experience double-digit growth in payments value • North America: • Snapshot: • Paper checks are still heavily used (representing almost half of the non-cash value in the region) and credit cards are leveling off. Payments are growing but slower than rest of the world. • Trends: • Debit card use continues to grow rapidly • Demand for more detailed remittance data included with payment • Consumers are moving from the credit-based economy of the past decade to a savings based economy Source: BCG, KPMG, and McKinsey reports, and EPS analysis

Credit transfers are most frequently used non-cash instrument. Significant unbanked population. • Trends: • Credit cards are growing rapidly, as the banked population has increased significantly, banks are aggressively pushing electronic payment enablers (such as POS network), and banks and retailers have successfully partnered Source: BCG, KPMG, and McKinsey reports, and EPS analysis

Euro Overview – Key Changes • Payment Services Directive (PSD) legislation affecting delivery time and charge practices • The PSD affects payments where the first and last bank in the chain are EU residents • Harmonisation of the high-value, national clearing systems by the implementation of TARGET2 • Introduction of a single EU payment scheme for credit & debit transfers as part of the single euro payment area (SEPA) • Increased competition among banks resulted in a greater focus on costs to remain competitive • Escalation in the volume and cost of processing third-party bank charges for commercial payments driven by regulatory change • Wide-scale use of the SWIFT bank identifier code (BIC) and international bank account number (IBAN) on payments within the European area • EC Regulation 1781/2006 required ordering financial institutions make sure all wire transfers carry specified information about the payer, through the payment chain
International Banking Account Number (IBAN) Description • An international standard that identifies bank accounts across national borders and merges existing country specific account number formats into a global standardized framework • Required for European payments • Mandatory to ensure straight through processing Objective • The IBAN number reduces routing errors that result in payments delays and extra costs incurred • Allows for payment information validation at the point of data entry using: • Country code • Appropriate number of characters (by country) • Specified format
International Banking Account Number (IBAN) Composition • The IBAN is made up of the beneficiary’s account number and a prefix that includes the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Country Code, two check digits and a bank identifier, which varies, by country/institution. • Alpha-numeric up to 34 characters in length • Provided by the account holding bank • Customer must obtain IBAN from beneficiaries
Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) • “SEPA harmonizes the way we make and process retail payments in euro” • SEPA enables customers to make cashless euro payments to anyone located anywhere in Europe, using a single payment account and a single set of payment instruments. • SEPA Credit Transfer (SCT) • A payment initiated by the payer. The payer sends a payment instruction to his/her bank. The bank moves the funds to the receiver’s bank. This can happen via several intermediaries. • SEPA Direct Debit (SDD) • A transfer initiated by the receiver via his/her bank. Direct debits are often used for recurring payments, such as utility bills. They require a pre-authorization (“mandate”) from the payer. Direct debits are also used for one-off payments. In this case, the payer authorizes an individual payment. • SEPA Card Clearing (SCC) • Debit cards - allow the cardholder to charge purchases directly and individually to an account. • Credit cards - allow purchases within a certain credit limit. The balance is settled in full by the end of a specified period. Alternatively, it is partly settled. The remaining balance is taken as extended credit on which the cardholder must pay interest.

SEPA Migration End Date • The SEPA Migration end date imposes a mandatory adoption for clearing systems and the retirement of legacy ACH by Feb 1, 2014 • EU Regulation 260/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (the SEPA end-date regulation) was finally published on 30th March establishing EU-wide requirements for credit transfers and direct debits in euro. The regulation was adopted by the EU Council and the European Parliament in February 2012. • The objective is to establish technical and business requirements and set deadlines for migrating credit transfers and direct debits in euro from national to Union-wide standards • Corporations operating cross-country and the public sector are analyzing SEPA impacts and re-evaluating their bank relationships SEPA Migration end date: SCT February 1, 2014 SDD February 1, 2014
SEPA Migration End Date • The day after publication of EU Regulation 260/2012, the following entered into force: • Reachability for euro Credit Transfers and Direct Debits (the latter only where national Direct Debits are available to consumers) • Payment accessibility across EU Member States, implying accounts can be held in any European Member State • Removal for €50,000 limit on equal charging practices aligning cross border with domestic charges for payments of the same value and in the same currency • Impact on banks: • National timeframes for winding down niche services • Complying with interoperability requirements • Flexibility with national variances • The removal of the obligation for customers to provide BIC with the IBAN.
Are all banks now reachable for SEPA DD&CT? Within the Eurozone • All consumer / retail and commercial banks in the Eurozone are reachable • SCT was launched in January 2008 and currently has more than 4,400 European banks registered with the EPC for this service • EC Regulation 924 that came into force on 1st November 2009 mandated the SDD reachability of all Eurozone banks – currently 2,600 European banks have registered with the European Payment Council (EPC) for the SDD Core service and 2,400 banks for SDD Business to Business service Outside the Eurozone • Limited reach for banks outside the Eurozone and some private / special institutions • Dependent on countries: UK and Switzerland are leading here, some eastern European non-euro countries already have BIC & IBAN as mandatory. If banks offer Euro accounts then they are SEPA ready • Generally SCT reach into non-Eurozone countries is good. For instance, in excess of 100 banks are reachable in Switzerland • SDD reachability is considerably lower at this point in these countries. Most have less than 10% of their banks as reachable for the Core DD service and participation is lower still for the Business to Business DD service
