Editor's Notes

  • #5 A payment system is a configuration of institutions supported by a technology infrastructure and driven by processes to facilitate financial transfers between payer and beneficiary. Payment systems have increasingly come into the fore with the advent of global business transactions and increasing consumerism. The gamut of payment systems ranges from traditional payment instruments such as Cheques and Bank Drafts to the relatively contemporary Credit/Debit Cards, RTGS, SWIFT and finally the latest Mobile Payments.The purpose of this study is to deep-dive into select payment and transaction processing systems to understand how these systems deliver value for the global business community and the consumer with a network of interdependencies and complex business models. Additionally, the study shall focus on the new & upcoming game changers in the payment systems arena.
