Among the major developments that will mark 1996 as an historic year in this field are: The Federal Reserve Board proposes the first major regulatory initiative to address the treatment of stored value products. Stored value cards are introduced to the public in a television commercial seen by millions during the Super Bowl followed by a high visibility pilot project during the Atlanta Summer Olympics. Visa and Mastercard reach agreement on protocol for secure transmission of credit card information over the Internet. Electronic cash becomes available for transmission over the Internet. Banks and software providers engage in a major effort to attract bank customers to on-line banking services. Usage of the World Wide Web for product marketing expands exponentially. Landmark telecommunications reform legislation is enacted. These developments present both an opportunity and a challenge for banks, financial services firms, technology providers and a wide range of commercial enterprises. The construction of the electronic financial services delivery system of the 21st Century will be driven by technology and will require a comprehensive reevaluation and realignment of consumer preferences, privacy, security, costs and conveniences. Simultaneously, these new delivery systems will be directly affected by emerging government regulation related to law enforcement, monetary policy, bank regulation and consumer protection. The conference is designed to provide participants with a broad insight into these factors, to hear from the leaders who will drive this process and thus offer participants a basis for evaluating the near and long term prospects for the banking industry and other financial services providers in the new world of electronic commerce.
