Payment Systems
Course Overview
Payment systems have gone through a sea-change over the last four decades. From being a purely paper-based function, this area has undergone a transformation; various factors like technology, change in geo-political structure and globalisation are instrumental for this.
This course covers the vast array of payment instruments (both paper-based and electronic) as well as the mechanisms of clearing and settlement. The learner is introduced to not only the widely accepted clearing mechanisms like National Electronic Funds Tranfer (NEFT) and Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS), but also the highly evolved models such as Target2 and Faster Payment Service (FPS). Elements of international payments and the various media for making cross-border payments are also covered.
The legal structure and the capability of a nation to usher change are an important factor for payment system evolution. We also cover the legal structure and aspects associated with Payment Systems.
