The Dutch Central Bank’s Cash Strategy
Jan Binnekamp
Head of Policy Department
De Nederlandsche Bank
Jan Binnekamp (born 1955) studied Sociology in Amsterdam. After his Bachelor degree he started working in the Human Resources Department of De Nederlandsche Bank in 1981. During the years in human resources he performed various tasks, among which the development of a new system for job classification, remuneration and staff appraisal. In 1995 he was transferred to the Cash Payments Division. First, he worked as a project leader in the process of reduction of the branch network of the Central Bank. In 1998 he was appointed as deputy director of the Currency Department. In that capacity he was responsible for setting up the internal organisation for the Euro changeover and managing the actual logistic operations of the Dutch Central Bank in this process. In 2002 he has been appointed as head of the Cash Operations Department. His main point of attention was the total redesign of the operational processes in the Cash Payments Division, including logistical and (ICT-) technical equipment. Since 2008 he is head of the Cash Policy Department.
Presentation Synopsis:
De Nederlandsche Bank is advocating electronic payments as a means to generate efficiency in the area of retail payments. Without questioning this position, there is more to say about the position of cash vis-a-vis other means of payment in society. Central banks have a specific responsibility towards cash. The presentation will elaborate on the Dutch Central Bank’s vision towards cash.
Payment studies, Demand for Cash, and Innovation in Payments
Jakub Górka, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor, Faculty of Management

Jakub Górka, Ph.D. in economics (2008), holds the position of an assistant professor at the University of Warsaw, Faculty of Management. He is an author or co-author of numerous research papers, reports and business articles, recognized on the Polish market as a specialist in the field of payment systems and money circulation. He advises, consults and prepares expertise for the National Bank of Poland, the Polish Ministry of Finance and commercial companies engaged in the payments business. He was granted several distinguished awards, including the award of the Polish Prime Minister for an outstanding doctoral thesis (2009/2010) and the first prize in the XI edition of Kredyt Bank and Insurance company WARTA contest for the best doctoral thesis in banking (2009). He works as an independent expert and advisor to the Foundation For Non-Cash Development. Since 2012 he is a member of the Payment Systems Market Expert Group (PSMEG) helping the European Commission prepare legislative acts or policy initiatives on payment issues.
Presentation Synopsis:
Studies of Polish payment habits show that cash remains an important means of payment, held in high esteem by Poles. Costs of cards in Poland (including high interchange fees) hamper non-cash development. More scrutiny and cost calculations is needed to estimate proper benchmarks for costs of card payments to balance the costs and benefits of cash.
In the presentation an emphasis will be placed on:
– the modern cash circulation (wholesale cash logistics versus retail cash circulation),
– card fees in Poland influencing card and cash businesses,
– payment habits of Polish consumers,
– studies of costs of payment instruments (cash versus cards) – recent initiatives at the paneuropean level (the European Commission, the European Central Bank) and the unique Polish research project aimed at identifying costs of cash and cards’ acceptance,
– changes at the regulatory and the “self-regulatory†level affecting the payments landscape as well as the cash business (SEPA, PSD, EMD II, EC’s Green Paper, Polish Act on Payment Services, etc.).

Michael Stolle
Stolle & Heinz Consultants
Michael Stolle has more than 17 years of international experience in managing large and midsize companies in- and outside of Germany. For years Michael is a proven specialist in the management of IT- as well as of Self-Service Banking Processes and has been significantly involved in the optimization of ATM value-chains and cost structures, operation of ATM networks, ATM cash-management and in all questions regarding Retail Cash Management. One of the newest trends Michael is severely involved in is mobile payment with or without NFC technology.
Presentation Synopsis:
The new Business Unit “Retail Cash Management” (RCM) was developed out of the area self-service. This leads into a coordination of deposit and payment technology at the Point of Sale in retail.
Significant advantages of the RCM solution are deeply influenced by the optimization of the cash cycle above the limits of banking and trade away. Moreover, the costs of cash handling for banks and retailers are noticeably reduced. The safety within the cycle could significantly be increased and processes within the whole cash value chain are more transparent and faster. Cash will be automatically proofed on authenticity and reusability (fit / unfit). The RCM solution could be used in retail in the back office, at the main cashier and at the Point of Sale. This could replace a “normal” checkout or can be used in addition, which leads to further advantages: avoiding cash coordination and identification of shortfalls, faster shift change at the workplaces and savings from fraud and risk reduction.
It’s only the Post Office – Cash Circulation, Management and Recycling inside a British Institution
Keith Rann
Managing Director – Cash Services
Post Office Ltd.
Born July 1960 at Newport, Isle of Wight.
Educated at Carisbrooke High School, Newport Isle of Wight.
I left School in 1977, with absolutely no idea what I wanted to do, to join the Post Office as a Branch Counter Clerk and the rest, as they say, after 35 years, is history.
In 1987 I left the Island, to further my managerial career on the UK mainland. It was at this point that I really started ‘messing around with cash’ and that career has seen me manage individual Cash Centre’s, regional groups of Cash Centre’s and CIT Depots and since 2005 Post Office Ltds entire logistical operation, which involves 1580 people working in 29 locations and using 410 CIT vehicles.
In the mid-nineties I studied, via distance learning, for and passed a National Diploma in Logistics.
My leadership approach and ethos ensures that I still find time to have some fun at work while focusing on the customer and delivering on our promises. In a complicated world I champion simplicity.
In my youth I ran, swam, played cricket, football and rugby for the school as well as doing some martial arts. These days I am an avid watcher of all things sport but I still find some time to play a rather wayward round of golf. My other passions are music, cooking and reading.
Presentation Synopsis
As part of the social fabric of Britain for over 375 years the Post Office serves c.20m customers a week, some of whom are amongst the most financially deprived population in the country.
Having the right money and other tradable products in the right place at the right time, without holding excess, but ensuring 11,500 retail outlets are open, when they should be, is the logistical challenge that this presentation will give you an insight to.

Demand and Role of the Euro with Particular Focus on International Markets
Mr. Armin Greif
Head of Issuance and Circulation Section in the Directorate Banknotes
ECB

In 1997 Mr. Greif joined the European Monetary Institute and one year later the European Central Bank. One of his core tasks at the early days of the ECB was the Eurosystem coordination of the euro cash changeover in 2002. Since 1998 Mr. Greif is also the Chairman of the Issuance Group within the Eurosystem, which is responsible for all banknote issue and post-issue handling matters e.g. banknote logistics, banknote sorting, cash changeover and cash cycle matters.  At the ECB he is as Head of Section within the Currency Management Division heading a team of high-level banknote experts.
Presentation synopsis:
Mr. Greif will show the development of the euro banknote circulation with a focus on the euro’s international role. By end of September, 15 billion euro banknotes worth EUR 892 billion were in circulation – which is more than the extrapolation of euro legacy currency usage would have suggested. It is believed that up to one-fourth of the circulation value is held in regions outside the euro area, where the euro banknotes are appreciated as a stable store of value and for settling international trade. To ensure availability of euro banknotes in international markets, the ECB has been offering the possibility to banknote wholesale banks to hold euro banknotes on behalf of the Eurosystem. Data from those extended custodial inventories and voluntary reports from wholesale banks on the regional distribution of their euro banknote turnover constitute important sources for a better understanding of the international use of the euro banknotes.

The European Payments Council (EPC) is the coordination and decision-making body of the European banking industry in relation to payments. The term bank is used in a non-discriminatory fashion and includes payment institutions. The purpose of the EPC is to support and promote the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA). SEPA is a European Union (EU) integration initiative in the area of payments designed to achieve the completion of the EU internal market and monetary union. SEPA is the area where citizens, companies and other economic actors can make and receive payments in euro, throughout Europe, whether within or across national boundaries under the same basic conditions, rights and obligations, regardless of their location. SEPA is currently defined as consisting of the 27 EU Member States plus Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein, Switzerland and Monaco. The EPC develops the payment schemes and frameworks which help to realise SEPA. The EPC consists of 74 members representing banks, banking communities and payment institutions. More than 360 professionals from 32 countries are directly engaged in the work programme of the EPC, representing all sizes and sectors of the banking industry within Europe.
