| Summary: | The joint World Bank - International
Monetary Fund (IMF) financial sector assessment program
(FSAP) of 2018 recommended for the Banco Central do Brasil
(BCB) to pursue full interoperability of automated teller
machine (ATM) networks in Brazil. Following the FSAP and the
policy dialogue with BCB, this note aims to provide key
policy options for BCB with respect to achieving
interoperability for ATM transactions in Brazil. The note
presents: (i) the key concepts that impact interoperability
of the ATM network; (ii) an overview of the regulatory
framework and retail payment infrastructure in Brazil; (iii)
cross country examples of interoperable ATM networks; (iv)
issues and challenges to be addressed for achieving
interoperability; and (v) the possible policy options that
the BCB can consider adopting in Brazil. It elaborates
policy options with regards to: (i) interoperability of the
ATM network - the feasibility of enforcing interoperability
among all financial institutions, (ii) relevance of having
an independent authorized ATM network, and (iii) whether to
leave the pricing of ATM services to the market or should
BCB consider regulating the same. |
