Historic Momentum

  • Second largest change in the payment

system since ACH operates

  • Great opportunity to redesign and design

the global payment system in favour of the customers and efficiency

  • All participants have to think and act

together

What to do - Alternatives

  • Keeping-up the current service
  • Building up a PEACH
  • Building up an up-to-date solution
  • Alliance with a potential PEACH, or ACHs

to form a PEACH

Keeping-up the current service

– Until HUF exists – providing service – Let the Banks find their way – Gradually ceasing clearing activity – What will happen with State Budgetary and small local Financial Institutions?

Building up a PEACH

  • Building up an all-round PEACH
  • Investment and running cost vs. Revenues
  • Efficiency – Potential Market Share

It is clearly not an alternative at the current status

Building up an up-to-date solution I.

  • Local service until HUF and beyond
  • Development of payment services
  • Possible parallel dual currency EURO-HUF
  • Satisfying SEPA as EURO out EU member
  • Providing transfer to EURO-in status
  • Tools to be local, while potentially can

become global

Building up an up-to-date solution II.

  • Seems to be the solution due to:

– Having a new and flexible system – Saving time – getting ready by the time EURO introduced, SEPA and regulations (standards and local laws) will be in place – Connect-ability to allied partners (PEACH) – Efficient local system / saving cost – Providing time and solution for all participants

Alliance with a potential PEACH

–Involve the local market to a bigger one –Utilising synergies, volumes –Easy and efficient compliance with SEPA –Hungary as regional consolidator –Alliance, Merger – fusion, etc. –Laws, owners, Central Banks, potential partners interests

Uncertainties in Making Decision

  • Hungary in EURO zone – We have to be ready by

then (Overriding principle)

  • Standards – how to convert current workflow,

laws and regulations, technical changeover by participants

  • Can investment be recovered ?
  • Realisation of SEPA and TARGET2
  • How big and foreign own banks will act? How

ACHs will react?

GIRO’s Opinion

  • Change of the Current Software
  • Maintain high standard of service
  • Not to be a PEACH
  • Looking for a potential alliance
  • Finding out the future role
  • Become a Regional consolidator
  • Time frame: 4 – 10 years
