2. Introduction
Electronic payment media are likely to figure importantly in the development of electronic
commerce, and retail electronic banking services and products, including electronic money,
could provide significant new opportunities for banks. Electronic banking may allow banks to
expand their markets for traditional deposit taking and credit extension activities, and to
office new products and services.
Purpose and Organization
The development and use of electronic money and some forms of electronic banking are still
in their early stages. Given the degree of uncertainity about future technological and market
developments in electronic banking and electronic money is important that supervisory
authorities avoid policies that hamper useful innovation and experimentation. At the some
time, the basic committee recognises that along with the benefits, electronic banking and
electronic money activities carry risks for banking organizations and these risks must be
balanced against the benefits.

 Assessing risks
 Implementing measures to control risk exposures.
