or different bank ,through the use of wire transfer, automatic teller machines, or computers but without the use of paper documents.”

Direct deposit is another form of an electronic funds transfer .In this case ,funds from your employer’s bank account are transferred electronically to your bank account ,with no need for paper based payment systems.

MAGNETIC INK CHARACTER READER (MICR) TECHONOLOGY
It’s a character recognition technology used primarily by the banking industry to facilitate the processing and clearance of cheques and other documents.
The MICR encoding called the MICR line is located at the bottom of the cheque or other vochurer.
The technology allows MICR reader to scan and read the information directly into a data collection device. Unlike barcodes or similar technologies ,MICR characters can be easily read by humans.
![Page 31: Banking innovations](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070510/58a8d0ad1a28ab5a368b46ff/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Reasons why MICR is deemed important in Banking:
•Can quickly identify the banks that issued them. It also eliminates the need to manually verify or validate the checks.
•Even if the MICR is covered with signature or cancellation marks, still it can be read.
•Before MICR system was used ,it took weeks for banks to clear cheques, but now this technology rapidly process high volume of cheques per day

money, Banks also carry out, on behalf of their customers the act of transfer of money - both domestic and foreign.- from one place to another. This activity is known as "remittance business" .
• Banks issue Demand Drafts, Banker's Cheques, Money Orders etc. for transferring the
money.
![Page 50: Banking innovations](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070510/58a8d0ad1a28ab5a368b46ff/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

Place A
In Remittance business, Bank 'A' at a place 'a' accepts money from customer 'C' and makes arrangement for payment of the same amount of money to either the customer 'C' or his "order" i.e. a person or entity, designated by 'C' as the recipient, through either a Branch of Bank 'A' or any other entity at place 'b'.
In return for having rendered this service, the Banks charge a pre-decided sum known as exchange or commission or service charge. This sum can differ from bank to bank. This also differs depending upon the mode of transfer and the time available for effecting the transfer of money. Faster the mode of transfer, higher the charges.

1. Demand Draft
A demand draft or "DD" is an instrument most banks in India use for effecting transfer of money. It is a Negotiable Instrument.
![Page 53: Banking innovations](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070510/58a8d0ad1a28ab5a368b46ff/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
A negotiable instrument is a document guaranteeing the payment of a specific amount of money, either on demand, or at a set time, with the payer named on the document.
More specifically, it is a document contemplated by or consisting of a contract, which promises the payment of money without condition, which may be paid either on demand or at a future date.
![Page 54: Banking innovations](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070510/58a8d0ad1a28ab5a368b46ff/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

Type of instrument needed Name of the recipient Name of the sender Amount to be transferred Place where the transferred money is to
be paid Mode in which money is to be paid i.e. in
cash or through a Bank Account Mode in which you will pay money to the
Bank i.e. in cash or by debit to your account

![Page 56: Banking innovations](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070510/58a8d0ad1a28ab5a368b46ff/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
2.Mail Transfers or Mail Orders
This is the mode used when you wish to transfer money from your account in Center 'A' to either your own account in Center 'B' or to somebody else's account.
In this mode of transfer, you are required to fill in an application form similar to the one for DD, sign a charge slip or give a cheque for the amount to be transferred plus exchange and collect a receipt.
The Bank will, on its own, send an order to its branch at center 'B' to deposit the said amount in the account number designated by you.
This is, however, a dying product and many banks like State Bank of India have since withdrawn this.

3.Telegraphic Transfers or Tele Orders
This is similar to the Mail Transfer except that the message is sent to center 'B' by way of a telegram and the money is deposited the next day.
The mode of instructions nowadays is increasingly the fax.

Check for additional charges and penalties.
You may have to pay more on the basis of usage.
Some banks may charge extra if you operate the locker more than a certain number of times, say more than 15 times a year, or for letting you access the locker during extended banking hours. If you lose the key, which should be immediately reported, charges for opening the locker or replacing the lost key and for changing the lock will have to be borne by you. While some banks include the cost in the initial security deposit, some charge it later.

6.Travelers' Cheque A tried and tested way of carrying foreign exchange
overseas.
American Express Traveler's cheques are widely accepted globally as a mode of payment in many parts of the world. It is always worthwhile taking some of your foreign exchange in travelers' cheques as it is a great backup to cash and cards.
The beauty of Travelers' Cheques is that they can be replaced if they are lost or stolen.
It always helps if you keep a record of your travelers' cheque numbers in a safe place, preferably a copy with you (but not with your cheques) and another copy at home (or somewhere where someone can fax them to you if you need to make a claim for lost cheques).
