Thanks to the Internet, many new things that are greatly simplifying life have appeared in the world. Among them are various electronic payment systems that allow you to pay for services without leaving home and translate funds.

Elena Zaitseva - Financial Analyst Magazine "Khitirbobor". I will talk about the peculiarities and capabilities of electronic payment systems and analyze the most popular of them. If you want to choose or change the service for remote financial transactions, you will find a lot of useful information in the article.

1. What is electronic payment systems

An electronic payment system (EPS) is an organization that provides mutual settlements between users on the Internet. Participants in the process are individuals and engaged in commerce enterprises, banks and other financial structures.

EPS activities in Russia are regulated by the state. The main regulatory act is the law "On the National Payment System".

Electronic payment systems allow:

  • pay utility services, mobile communications, television, etc.;
  • acquire goods in online stores;
  • output funds for bank cards and accounts;
  • exchange currency;
  • translate money to other participants in the system, for example, within the framework of the business.

The list is incomplete. The possibilities of virtual services are extensive, their functionality is constantly improving and expanding.

Electronic money is used for calculations - virtual digital units issued by the system.

Features of digital cash:

  1. Release only in electronic form.
  2. Provided with real money.
  3. Guaranteed to release them EPS (issuer).
  4. Stored on electronic media.
  5. They are recognized not only inside the system, but also when calculating with external counterparties.

Virtual money is stored on e-wallets - the name of the user's account in the selected system is so called.

2. How do they work

The principle of operation of the EPS is similar to traditional non-cash transactions. Each user has a personal account by which calculations are carried out with counterparties and between their wallets.

Simplified work scheme Next:

  • the user's digital account comes with real money;
  • at the inner course, the service is exchanged for virtual currency;
  • the owner of the account makes the necessary transaction (translates funds to a private person, buys goods, etc.);
  • the counterparty receives an electronic currency;
  • the system redeems his internal money back, giving traditional in return.

After exchange real money On the issuer's digital income from the issuer arise over the user. The EPS guarantees that at the request of the participant, the virtual currency will be exchanged for real money.

To use digital cash is possible, the recipient organization must accept payment in virtual currency.

Often operations pass through intermediaries.

Example:

The owner of the wallet makes the application for the translation virtual money on a bank card. The operation takes place through an intermediary - an organization that takes digital money changes them to traditional and translates according to the specified details.

As a result, the amount in the required currency comes to the client's account, for example, rubles or dollars.

Similarly, operations are carried out in favor of companies that do not accept virtual money. Sometimes the role of the intermediary performs the EPS itself.

3. What makes electronic payment systems earn

The main income comes from commissions for conducting transactions. For example, Webmoney, one of the leaders in the digital cash market, with each user operation holds 0.8%. The tariff applies both to external translations and the actions between the accounts of one user.

Additional EPS earnings are obtained from:

  1. User certification.There are different wallets. To make an advanced set of actions or translate more money, you need to go through certification - provide passport data, confirm the phone number, meet with a company representative for personal identification. Often the Commission is charged for the service.
  2. Use terminals. Top up the wallet can be different ways, Payment Terminal or Affiliate ATM is one of them. The operation is charged the Commission. For example, Yandex.Money service depending on the selected terminal holds from 0% to 19% for one replenishment.
  3. Using your own cards.To simplify the input and output of money, EPS produces cards, maintenance and support of which costs money. The fee is taken for the release, cash removal, SMS informing and other operations.

The list is incomplete. In addition to listed, there are many other ways to earn money - fee for confirming transactions, commission from partner organizations, providing intermediary services, etc.

4. Benefits and disadvantages

Electronic deals are beneficial both the EPS itself and its corporate partners. The issuer of the virtual currency receives the Commission for the operation, and outlets Do not spend on collection and storage of cash.

The user from such calculations receives:

  • convenience - operations are carried out from home or other space if there are internet;
  • reliability - subject to the security rules for the use of the wallet, the service protects the information and the safety of funds;
  • unlimited use - digital cash does not matter and does not burn;
  • free accompaniment - for servicing the wallet fee is not charged;
  • high payments - many operations are carried out almost instantly, delays are possible when attracting intermediaries;
  • transparency - all transactions are fixed, the history of e-payments can be requested at any time.

But besides the advantages, the EPS has disadvantages:

  • the need to confirm the personality - for the full use of the account, it will be necessary to provide personal data and documents;
  • restrictions in use - not all companies and trade organizations take virtual money, although their list and grows;
  • commissions - some mandatory fees are essential, which is especially noticeable on large amounts;
  • difficulties with recovery - with a loss of password, resume work due to increased security requirements will be difficult, it will be necessary to provide many confirmation of information.

Each user will find for itself significant advantages and substantial disadvantages. For example, for me, the Commission for the withdrawal of funds with WebMoney to the card is too high. Because of this, I try to minimize the use of virtual money.

5. What are the types of EPS

There are several types of electronic payment systems. They can be divided into transaction participants, by the amount of transaction, in terms of payment, according to currency, etc.

More often than others use classification at the time of entering money into the system. According to it, credit and debit types of EPS are distinguished.

Credit

For settlements between participants of such services, credit cards are used with additional protection - message encryption and digital signature. The operation requires to confirm the creditworthiness and compliance of the valid payment data of reality.

The main feature of such transactions is that the contract is the contract, and then pay or transferring money.

Credit EPS includes First Virtual, Open Market, Cybercash, CheckFree and others.

Debit

Almost all international electronic systems Payments relate to debit. The principle of their work is that translations and payment operations are available to the user strictly after replenishing the account.

Some debit EPSs use not digital cash, but electronic checks.

The principle of their work is as follows:

  1. The sender of payment releases a check and assures his virtual signature.
  2. The document is translated by the recipient through the arbitration of the system.
  3. The service checks the check.
  4. If violations are not detected, the payment is accepted.
  5. Means from the account of the released user's check are transferred to the recipient.

Digital checks use a limited number of systems - Netcash, Netchex, Netcheque and some others.

There are such systems in different ways. Basically, the founders of such services create their own e-currency. They call them original, as to use "money" in the title illegally. However, it is important to understand that beautiful terms talk about the absence of any financial guarantees and deposit insurance.

All at the conscience of founders who value their reputation. In fact, participants are registered and transactions are being conducted. Each depositor has personal Area and in which the amount of money is recorded on his account.

Electronic money is the monetary obligations of the organization that released them (Issuer), which are on electronic media in user management.

The main signs of electronic money:

  • implementation of emissions in electronic form;
  • storage on electronic media;
  • guarantees of the Issuer to ensure ordinary cash;
  • recognition of them as a payment product not only by the Issuer, but also a number of other organizations.

For a clear understanding of what electronic money is, it is necessary to distinguish them from the non-cash form of traditional funds (the release of the latter, they produce central banks of various countries, they also establish rules for their appeal).

No relation to electronic money has credit cards that are only a bank account management tool. All operations when using cards are made with conventional money, albeit in non-cash form.

History of the emergence of electronic money

The idea of \u200b\u200belectronic payment systems appeared in the 80s of the twentieth century. It was the basis of the invention of David Shaum, who founded the company "Digicash" in the US, the main task of which was the introduction of electronic money treatment technologies.

The idea was pretty simple. In the system, operations with electronic coins representing the issuer's commitment files with its electronic signature. The purpose of the signature was similar to the purpose of the elements of protection of paper bills.

Principles of operation of electronic monetary systems

For the successful operation of this payment instrument, the readiness of organizations selling goods and providing services is needed to take electronic money as payment. This condition was provided with the issuer's guarantees for the payment of amounts in real currency in exchange for electronic coins introduced by them.

In a simplified form, the scheme of system functioning can be represented as follows:

  • The client translates the real currency to the score of the issuer, receiving a file-banknote (coin) in return for the same amount less than the Commission. This file confirms the debt obligations of the Issuer before its holder;
  • Electronic coins Customer pays goods and services in organizations that are ready to accept them;
  • The latter return these files to the issuer, receiving real money from him.
