From the Inside Flap
As the new century dawns, banks and financial services companies stand poised on the edge of a revolutionary era. The dramatic proliferation of PC technology, together with the emergence of a low-cost, worldwide communications network, is reshaping the way that individuals and businesses transmit information and do business. Technology is rapidly forcing the convergence of financial products with the delivery systems for those products, making them functionally indistinguishable. This cultural shift in financial services affects how banks and businesses reach customers, how they compete, and how they remain viable. Financial service providers will have to develop and maintain customer relationships in a manner far different from what they have been accustomed to.
21st Century Money, Banking & Commerce analyzes the issues raised by technology, and offers a glimpse at the answers. The authors bring together the fast-paced developments in electronic financial products and services, highlighting electronic money products, Internet-based payments systems, smart cards, digital signature technologies, privacy considerations, and security concerns.
21st Century Money, Banking & Commerce provides a common framework for financial institution executives, counsel, information systems executives, and other electronic commerce participants to understand the challenges and opportunities they face.

One-Stop Shopping for E-Banking Law,
By Walter Effross (effross@wcl.american.edu) (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 21st Century Money, Banking & Commerce (Hardcover)
As the chair of the American Bar Association's Subcommittee on Electronic Commerce, I recently reviewed this book for an upcoming issue of the South Carolina Law Review. In that review, I noted that few other works have addressed the intersection of electronic commerce and banking law, and characterized the book as "a consistently impressive combination of a treatise and a client memorandum." I found particularly useful the authors' detailed, informed, and intensely practical surveys of electronic payment technologies, regulatory actions, and judicial decisions. Separate sections, which can be read independently, are devoted to the missions and relevant activities of various regulatory agencies such as the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Other chapters discuss security and privacy of online banking systems, the operation of stored-value systems such as Mondex and Visa Cash, online brokerage and insurance services, intellectual property online, and Internet-based jurisdiction. I believe that this book is useful not only for reference but as a survey of developments in this rapidly-moving area. In my opinion, someone who sat down and read 50 pages a night of 21st Century Money, Banking and Commerce could get painlessly in two weeks more substantive information than most seminars on electronic commerce could deliver.
