Understanding How Money Changes Hands
The Payment Systems Pyramid
Clearing House Is the place where all banks have their accounts This enables funds to be transferred from one bank to another In the same fashion as when two people have their account in the same branch of the same bank
Lets dwell briefly on the concept and importance of Clearing Houses.

There are thousands of banks spread across the globe, and The Yahoos, Microsofts, Tatas and the Fords of the world have their accounts with different banks, and Money constantly changes hands across this vast network

So how does this inter-bank movement of funds take place?

How Clearing Houses Settle? Settlement The completion of a transaction, wherein the payer transfers the money or financial instruments to the payee.
Major Settlement Types Net Settlement - the settlement of a number of obligations or transfers between or among counterparties on a net basis Gross Settlement - a transfer system in which the settlement of funds or securities transfer instructions occurs individually (on an instruction by instruction basis).

Clearing precedes the step known as Settlement; here is what Clearing and Settlement achieve at the Clearing House

STEP 2

Who runs the Clearing House? In India they are run by RBI or other banks nominated by RBI In USA, clearing houses are run by different agencies, usually as a business which pays for itself. Some are run for-profit; others are run by an association of banks on a shared-cost basis
Key technologies in Cheque Processing Introduction of MICR
Introduction of Check Truncation ECP
MICR Overview Magnetic Ink Character Recognition Describes the special numbers and symbols typically seen at the bottom of a check Characters either printed in special inks using offset printing presses or with MICR toners using a laser printer MICR font characters are magnetized and read electronically by special reader/sorter equipment E13-B MICR font is used in the USA Fonts must meet stringent specifications of ABA and ANSI in the U.S.
MICR Overview Provides the receiving party with information needed for processing the check including:o o o
check number, bank routing number, checking account number, and the amount of the check
o
Check Processing System Inefficiencies In spite of MICR, the system has certain inefficiencies,o o o
Increased processing times Higher handling and postage costs Security concerns
Improvements in Check Processing The Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act Also referred to as Check Truncation or Check 21 Effective since October 2004 Check once received by the Payers bank is converted to an electronic image Image is now transmitted in place of paper check referred to as the Substitute Check The image contains both front and back portions

TARGET Interlinking
Transaction Processing Cross Border Payments
One of the significant differences between other payments and Cross-border payments is shown below:
The US branch of theform Bank is not a member of Money in Currency US does not cross borders: that is any clearing system in UK. NOT how payments are effected.
Basically, a bank account is needed in the other country, from which to pay money. (Or into which money may be received.)How to get funds across to the UK branch?UK branch of US bank may be a member of UK Clearing Systems
In other words, this type of account is needed:NOSTRO Account Nostro: a banks foreign currency account in that foreign currency center. Banks maintain one such account in each currency of importance in which that banks customers have dealings.
The Senders Bank simply needs to reach the money to this Nostro Account, which is present within its own country. It can use any of the payment systems previously discussed for this.
Senders Bank
Receivers Bank
Sender
Receiver
It is very important to notebe Senders account can that the only way the Sender and its can be can have Receivers account bank such information the homethe Receivers Banks Nostro isinif the Receiver debited only in about credited only the home currency currency correctly provides this. Most delays in international payments can be traced to sending of incomplete and improper information.
Correspondent Banking Sometimes it can happen that the Senders Bank does not have international accounts or networks to exploit. It can also be that a big bank finds it uneconomical to maintain a branch presence in certain countries. Customers of the bank do transact in that country but the volumes do not justify a direct presence. When a bank that has limited access to certain financial markets in another country or region, and therefore must use the services of another bank to conduct certain transactions, it enters into an agreement with another bank in order to receive necessary services like any other account holder. That other bank is referred as the Correspondent Bank (colloquially Corr Bank).
CLS: Continuous Linked Settlement
CLS is an interlinking of 17 banks so that banks of other countries (prone to insolvency/ default risk) do not have to be relied on)
Add Mexico and Israel
Central Banks
Instead of relying on private financial institutions which might fail, CLS relies on the Central Bankers of the world.

ASSET LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
Interest Rate Risk The risk to a banks income/ earnings From the possibility of a change in market rates Arising out of the particular combination of a banks advances and liabilities portfolio
114
HDFC gives fixed rate home loans to borrowers in September 2009. It charges say, 12% to these borrowers. HDFC faces interest rate risk because it is promising a fixed rate to its customers. Say HDFCs cost of money at 6% to make this loans: its margin is 6%. Subsequently, in March 2011, interest rates and so the cost of its money goes up to 9%. HDFC now finds that its margin has come down to 3%. This is due to the interest rate risk that it was running in the first place.
115
Liquidity Risk The risk a bank does not have funds to meet its commitments Arising out of the particular combination of a banks advances and liabilities portfolio There could also be advances repaid and you may not find ways to disburse that money again. To illustrate: A FD for 10 years has been invested as loan for 10 years to a borrower. However, after say 3 years, the depositor has withdrawn the funds by pre mature closer but HDFC cannot recall the loan from the borrower.
This is the example of LIQUIDITY RISK

Risk and Basel Requirements
Banks need Capital
Need for Capital To fund a banks need for infrastructure Capital position acceptable to depositors shareholder willingness to put own funds at risk
Capital is needed to deal with losses when revenue from asset shrinks capital provides cushion to continue servicing
The Basel II Accord Prescribes the Quantum of Capital a Bank shall keep Total Capital CAR
=Credit Risk Total Assets At Risk + Market Risk +Operational Risk
As per the Basel Accord this ratio should be atleast 8%.
Each countrys regulator can specify their own Capital Adequacy Ratio higher than 8% (but it cannot specify a ratio lower than 8%) For instance, RBI has specifed 9% as the Capital Adequacy Ratio for Indian Banks.
