Objects (general) • Retail Payment Systems • Payment Instruments
Objects (2) The objects are systems and instruments, but it is inevitable to look at the actors/roles involved: • system/instrument owner • operator/processor • issuer/acquirer • etc.
Objects (3) • More and more non-banks involved in the payment system. • Not (yet) regulated by banking supervision acts (in NL). • Payment Services Directive.
Objects (4) Starting point and so far mainly inter bank systems and instruments, however: • correspondent banking • systems of large banks/consortia • instruments of one bank (or payment service provider)
Influence of developments (1) Trends retail payments: • European Consolidation • TARGET • SEPA • Specialisation/Unbundling • Multiple operators/owners: card schemes, transaction networks, etc
Influence of developments (2) • Market developments • New technologies • contactless, mobile payments • internet • biometrics • New providers of payment services • telecom providers • public transfer • etc etc
Non banks in the payment system • Outcome recent survey: >125 non banks • Non banks are active in the whole payment chain
Oversight on the paymentsystem: the role model General approach oversight: • Licensing or moral suasion • Assessments of systems and products against standards • Regular oversight
Oversight on the paymentsystem: the role model Oversight based on standards like: • Wholesale systems (e.g. Core principles for systemically important payments systems, SIPS) • Retail systems (e.g. Oversight standards for Euro retail payment systems and (Subset of) Core Principles • Payment products (e.g. Recommendations for payment products) • Securities settlement systems (CPSS/IOSCO Recommendations) • Technical standards (ISO, ECBS, NVB,...)
Oversight on the paymentsystem: the role model Disadvantage of current basis: • No legal instruments • Standards pay to less attention to: • the control of the system operator/product owner • other participants in the chain In addition: • Supervision/oversight is split up over several authorities

Oversight on the payment system Consequences. The risk exists: • Gaps in control aren’t detected • Risks introduced by current other players aren’t (timely) detected • Risks introduced by new players aren’t (timely) detected
Oversight on the paymentsystem: the role model To solve these problems our oversight approach is changed to: A role based approach
