答题要点

Q1(合同法)

从下面几个角度考虑:

合同的签订合理吗?(A14

1.The content indicated内容是否准确。比如买的是什么,什么时候给钱,给多少钱?

2.intention to be bound是否受要约人表明了要受到该要约的约束。比如是否是严肃的讨论,开玩笑的就不行。

Offer还是invitation to offer

1.如果是offer,对方发来acceptance的时候合同就成立了(A14)

2.如果是invitation,对方发来的是offer,你还要自己发个acceptance才签订成功(A15)

合同是否签订成功?

1.offer发出了,但对方还没有acceptance你就withdraw了,没有签订成功(A17)

2.别人发出要约,当事人要用行为做出acceptance,要是别人替你做出的,除非你委托了否则不可以(A22 A9)

3.成功签订合同之后,offeror对要约做出了实质性变更,则没有成功(A20(4))

4.若当事人签订合同,但对方是两个公司,则只履行和当事人签合同的公司的要求(案例:Booking)

5.正常合同有offer和acceptance,则在收到acceptance时合同成立(A25)

Q2(电子签名法)

从下面几个角度考虑:

1.所有电子交易都是被允许的(A3)

2.电子证据要是原件(民事诉讼法A68)

对于承诺的方式两种:

notice和performing of an act(A22)

是否构成承诺:

Whether a reasonable observer would think there was an assent.

格式条款三个要求:

Reasonable manner、opportunity to review、legal and fair

有个套话:

Contract laws state that an offer once accepted becomes binding.

Chinese contract law states that offers, made on concrete terms become binding when accepted (Art 8, 13, 14 and 21). The acceptance can be indicated in any way, such as by notice or by performing any act as indicated by the offer or by trade practice (Art 22).

合同法规定要约一经接受即具有约束力。

中国合同法规定,以具体条款提出的要约在被接受时具有约束力(第8条、第13条、第14条和第21条)。承诺可以以任何方式表示,例如通过通知或执行要约或贸易惯例所表明的任何行为(第22条)。

Q2: 2 tiers

Q3:

Q4

Why are payment service providers and electronic money issuers regulated?

1. Protection of the economy

2. Proper supervision and accountability of payment service providers

3. Consumer protection

4. Preventing money ‘laundering’

如何监管电子货币

The EU allows banks to issue e-money, and Non-banks are also allowed to issue e-money because the EU encourages competition and innovation. Set up EMI (Electronic Money Institution). But lighter touch than with banks.

Prepaid cards in the same or similar physical or virtual forms used in the retail, hospitality, dinning and service areas and can only be accepted by the issuer, the company group which the issuer belongs to and the branded chain store or franchising operation. And Prepaid Cards Business subject to Payment Service Regulation (Closeloop)

如何监管服务提供商?

欧盟:

1. Payment Institution must have sufficient capital支付机构必须有足够的资金

2. Properly controlled and the controllers are known适当的控制和控制器是已知的

3. Properly governed with adequate systems and controls适当的管理与适当的系统和控制

4. Has risk controls in place风险控制是否到位

中国:

1. Capital requirement: Rmb 100 million for nationwide service! Rmb 30 million for state wide service!

2. Chinese incorporated company only

3. Staffed with five or more senior managers with expertise in payment services

4. Establish an anti money-laundering compliance program

5. Maintain a well-designed governance structure and risk prevention system

Week 1

(该部分法条如无特别说明均为中华人民共和国合同法)

Contract(合同)

legally executed contract has legal binding force依法签订的合同具有法律执行效力的(A8)

合同是一个协议(agreement),双方当事人是自然人(natural person)或者法人(legal person,阿里巴巴,是被抽象成人的)(A2)

Assent indication(同意暗示)是offeree一个承诺(A21)

合同双方必须free negotiated, equity(A4 A5)

若当事人签订合同,但对方是两个公司,则只履行和当事人签合同的公司的要求(案例:Booking)

合同 的5 key requirements

Offer and unconditional acceptance:我给你个offer你要是不讨价接受了就是无条件接受,讨价的话就是counter offer

Intention to be legally bound:我有这个意图并和你达成协议之后是被法律约束的(卖出后不得反悔)(A14)

Consideration

Capacity:有无能力(没有民事行为能力人是不能进行交易的)(A9)

Formalities (for certain contract):合同的格式

Offer(要约)

要约是希望和他人订立合同的意思表示(A14)

法院通常认为广告不等于Offer。

Offer什么时候生效?

When the offer reaches the offeree. 到达受要约人时生效(以电子数据文本形式订立合同,电子数据文本首次进入接收系统的时间为到达时间。)

Offer可以撤回(withdraw)或撤销(revoke)吗?

Offer可以撤回(withdraw)。撤回Offer的通知应当在Offer到达受要约人之前或者与Offer到达受要约人同时到达受要约人。(A17)

Offer可以撤销(revoke)。撤销Offer的通知应当在受要约人发出acceptance notice之前到达受要约人。(如果受要约人已经为履行合同作了准备,那么受要约人有理由保持Offer的不可撤销性)(A18)

Offer和Invitation to offer

要约是希望和他人订立合同的意思表示(A14)

要约邀请是希望他人向自己发出要约的意思表示。(A15)

要约(offer)

要约邀请(invitation to offer)

法律行为,有法律意义

事实行为,无法律意义

当事人自己主动提出愿意与他人订立合同的意思表示

希望他人向自己发出要约的意思表示

合同成立,要约人受其要约的约束

被邀请的人发出要约后,要约邀请人并没有做出受到约束的承诺

包括合同的主要条款

无需具备合同主要条款

我要卖mp3

你这个mp3卖不

Acceptance(承诺)

承诺是受要约人同意要约的意思表示。(A21)

承诺生效代表合同生效(A25)

Counter Offer:改变了要约的条款,即讨价还价

什么时候会构成一个acceptance

Whether a reasonable observer would think there was an assent. (一个理性的观察者是否会认为存在一个同意)

(“沉默”一般不会被视为构成了acceptance)

Acceptance什么时候生效?

When the acceptance notice reaches the offeror. (比如你表达同意意向的邮件到达要约人的邮箱时)(A26)

Acceptance生效的时刻就是合同生效的时刻!(A25)

Acceptance可以撤回(withdraw)吗?

可以。但acceptance的撤回通知应当在acceptance notice到达要约人之前或者与acceptance notice同时到达要约人。也就是说,acceptance的撤销必须在acceptance生效前完成。

要约人(offeror)———offer/卖———>受要约人(offeree

Standard Term Contract(格式条款合同)

Standard Term Contract是被中国法律认可的一种合同形式,其最大的特点就是“Take it or leave it”(“要么接受要么退出”)。不同于传统的缔结合同的形式,这类合同的条款不是由缔结合同的双方商议出来的,而是企业“施加”给用户的。

如果格式条款发生变化,要告知已签订的用户,即Must be given an opportunity to see the change of the terms(代表案例:Hoang和ActorsDb)(A20(4))

Standard Terms and condition格式条款三条原则

1. Present the terms to the other party in a reasonable manner(以合理的方式呈现,尤其是免责或减责条款!!只能为“click-wrap” 或 “browser-wrap”别的都不行)

2. Give the other party opportunity to review the terms before accepting the contract(在接受合同之前,给对方审查条款的机会)

Click-wrap:条款可以查看,消费者点击“我同意”按钮或录入电子签名才可以继续缔结合同

Browser-wrap:消费者有机会在浏览网站时查看条款,但条款不会被显示出来

【电子商务法】北邮国际学院大三上期末复习_第1张图片【电子商务法】北邮国际学院大三上期末复习_第2张图片 

                                     Click-wrap                                                         Browser-wrap

3. 合同条款合法且“Fair”(“Fair”与否由法官决定“Mistake”或“Fraud”)

中国法律是否允许按照标准条款签合同?

Contract law in most countries, including China, allow businesses to contract on ‘standard terms’ as it is not possible to individually negotiate terms in many cases. However, when contracting on standard terms , the law requires that the party must

 Bring the terms to the attention of the party who is to be bound by them

 Give the other party opportunity to review the terms before accepting the contract

 If the above steps are taken, then it is the responsibility of the party accepting the terms to read them. Once accepted, the terms are binding on the accepting party (unless the terms are held by a court of law to be ‘unfair’).

包括中国在内的大多数国家的合同法都允许企业根据“标准条款”订立合同,因为在许多情况下不可能单独协商条款。然而,当订立标准条款时,法律要求当事人必须

•让受这些条款约束的一方注意这些条款

•在接受合同之前,给对方审查条款的机会

•如果采取了上述步骤,那么接受条款的一方有责任阅读条款。一旦被接受,这些条款就对接受方具有约束力(除非这些条款被法庭裁定为“不公平”)。

What are restrictive terms and exemptions in standard clauses限制性条款和免责条款

These are terms that either limit or exclude liability in a contract, which would otherwise be owed.

The law allows such exemptions and restrictions if they are ‘fair’ but the requirement is that they must be brought to the attention of the other party in a reasonable manner and explanation provided if asked for (in addition to the other requirements as mentioned in Article 39, PrC Contract Law).

这些条款要么限制合同中的责任,要么排除合同中本应承担的责任。

例如,如果航空公司为你携带行李,但丢失了,这将是航空公司的责任,他们必须赔偿你的内容和行李的价值。然而,大多数航空公司将赔偿责任限制在一个上限,通常是800美元。排除责任的条款包括:“我们对访问我们的网站对您的电脑造成的任何损害不承担责任,如果没有病毒,我们不能保证,等等。”这类豁免法律允许和限制是否公平,但要求是他们必须把对方的注意以合理的方式和解释提供要求(除了其他条件A39)。

Electronic Contracting(电子合同)

电子合同的特别在Communication不一样(传递方式、时间不同)

要约和承诺在邮件到达对方邮箱地时候生效(A16,A26)

所有电商网站都是invitation,顾客想买是offer,发货是acceptance

如果法律无效就写set aside

Week 2

(该部分法条如无特别说明均为中华人民共和国电子签名法)

E-transaction(电子交易)

All paperless transactions are‘Legally admissible在法律上不会因为这是电子而禁止它(not to be denied),电子是被Admissible(法律上可接受的),电子记录也不会被拒绝 (A3

数据电文原件要求(A5)、保存要求(A6)、可当证据使用(A7)、真实性要求(A8)

电子交易证据的要求:

1.Writing纸质的(确保证据可以随时被访问且一定要是可视的)

       基本要求:看得见;关上之后还能再打开(A4)

2.Original必须是原始文件,不能为复印件(确保文件可以被信任)(民事诉讼法A68

作用(UNCITRAL MLEC A8)

Give effective expression to the contents carried对所携带的内容进行有效表达

Unfailingly guarantee the contents remain complete and unaltered保证内容保持完整和不变

3.record/ document preservation 需要记录下来

4.signature要被签名

纸质文件有哪些功能?(如果电子也能满足那电子就不会被拒绝)

To provide tangible evidence of the intention of the parties to bind themselves可见的证据

To provide a permanent record of transaction永久记录

To allow authentication by way of a signature可以验证

To allow easy storage in tangible form 容易储存

E-Signature(电子签名)

(该部分法条如无特别说明均为中华人民共和国电子签名法)

e-signature: 所有的电子形式,虹膜,拍照等(包括数字签名)

签名的作用:是我签了这个合同

Identity(我)

1. Identify a person识别一个人

Non-repudiation(签了,我不能反悔)

2. Provide certainty as to the personal involvement of that person in the act of signing 提供有关该人个人参与签署行为的确定性

Authentication(这个,不是别的合同)

3. Associate that person with the content of a document将这个人与文档的内容联系起来

中国对于e-signature的态度

1. All e-signatures are admissible (except in transactions where electronic signatures are not allowed). 所有电子签署均可接受(不允许电子签署的交易除外)。(A14)

2. Grant greater legal certainty to certain signature technologies (Signatures meeting definition of A 13 ‘deemed’ to be reliable认为是可靠的) 赋予某些签名技术更大的法律确定性(A13)

digital signature

They are created and verified by cryptography它们是由密码学创建和验证的

分为

Symmetric cryptography类型(对称加密:只使用一把“钥匙”,只能保证小型用户群的安全,不适合公众使用。)

Asymmetric cryptography类型(非对称加密:公钥(public key)秘钥(private key)对你传输的签名和你的合同进行)

形式

1. Possession or something one has:你拥有什么,记得密码啥的

2. Biometrics or something one is:生理特征

3. Knowledge or something one knows:你知道什么东西

Asymmetric cryptography(法院是认可这个的,或者说只认可这个deemed to be reliable

公钥(public key):就签合同那个group的人知道

密钥(private key):kept secret,只有自己知道

基本原理:

·在一场E-Transaction中,每个人都有一把公钥(Public Key)和一把密钥(Private Key),每个人的密钥只有自己知道,而每个人的公钥都对这场E- Transaction中的所有人(和你签订合同有关的人)公开。

·(公钥加密私钥解密)Use a public key to encrypt a message, Only corresponding  private key can decrypt the message. Conversely, Encrypt using private key, Only corresponding public key can decrypt.使用公钥加密消息,只有对应的私钥才能解密消息。反之,使用私钥加密,只有对应的公钥才能解密。

·例:一般来说,当用户A使用Asymmetric给用户B发送信息时,A总是有两个目的:

1.让只有B看到真正的信息。

2.让B知道消息是由A发送的。

对于第一个目的,A需要使用B的公钥对信息进行加密。通过这种方式,只有B可以用B的私钥去配对公钥,查看真正的内容(因为只B有自己的私钥)。

对于第二个目的,A需要使用A的私钥加密作者的信息。通过这种方式,每个人(包括B)都可以使用A的公钥去配对私钥,并解密作者信息,可得知消息是由A发送的。

使用非对称加密的三种人

CSP responsibility :给我发技术的,要定期发证书,确认这两个钥没过期

signatory responsibility:签名的,保护好private key

relying party responsibility:收到并相信签名的,验证这个人对不对

总结

1.电子交易是否合法吗?

《电子商务非示范法》和《电子签名非示范法》涉及创造电子交易的法律确定性。《中国电子签名法》以第3条的规定开始。电子信息和电子签名不应仅仅因为它们是电子形式而否认它们具有法律效力。这一规定还提到了某些必须写在纸上才能具有法律效力的交易。请仔细注意这一规定。

2.如果法律要求“书面交易”,电子交易如何才能满足这一要求?

非标准的MLEC提供了“功能等价”,即注意法律要求所提供的功能,然后在电子世界中找到功能等价。《中国电子签名法》第4条明确规定,“对所携带内容有可见表达、便于查阅参考的数据信息”,属于“书写”。所以只要任何电子信息都可以读取,它就是“书面”形式。

3.如果法律要求“原始”,电子交易如何才能满足这一要求?

中国民事诉讼法典第63条和第68条规定了证据的可采性。第六十三条没有规定“电子证据”,但只要“电子证明”中的事实能够得到证实,“书面证据”、“材料证据”和“视听证据”均可接受。此外,第68条还要求将“原件”提交法院,除非“真正难以”出示原件。但是,《中国电子签名法》第5条明确规定,从创建时可以“不失效”起保证不变,可以对内容进行“有效表达”且易于引用的数据消息,可以被视为“原件”。除这一规定外,必须履行《民事诉讼法》中关于证据的所有其他规定,例如,所有电子证据必须“经过核实,才能作为确定事实的基础”。验证可以采取任何形式。

4.签名的功能是什么?

在编写《示范法》时,考虑了签名的下列职能:确定一个人;提供该人个人参与签署行为的确定性;将该人与文件的内容联系起来。有人指出,此外,一个签名还可以执行各种功能,这取决于所签署的文件的性质。例如,签名可以证明一方的意图受签署合同内容的约束;一个人认可文本的作者的意图;一个人与他人撰写的文件的内容联系起来的意图;事实,以及一个人在给定地点的时间。

5.中国的法律要求在合同上签字时做些什么?已签订的合同在中国法律上的法律意义是什么?没有签字的合同可以是有效的合同吗?

中国的法律并不要求签署所有的合同。有些交易必须签署才能有效,如出售财产、终止通知等。然而,中国的合同法确实承认,一旦合同签订,它就具有约束力。即使法律不要求签署,签署一份文件作为签署了一份文件和上述职能的证据也很重要。

6.如果法律要求“签名”,电子交易如何才能满足这一要求?

根据现有的技术,有很多电子签名的方式。这些方法可能只是简单地在文档上输入名称,或者在电子写字板上用电子手写笔创建签名,生物特征签名和使用密码学的“数字”签名,包括对称的和不对称的。

7.所有电子签名是否均可作为已签署电子交易的证据?根据中国E签名法所规定的,一些使用某些技术的电子签名是否优于其他电子签名,甚至优于手写签名?

《中国电子签名法》第三、第十三条和第十四条规定,所有电子签名均可作为文件已“签署”的证据,但某些签名被认为等同于书面签名。有更高的有效性。这些签名是那些使用不对称密码学和PKI制作的签名。上述中国的规定遵循了2001年《电子签名示范法》的建议,该法为使用PKI签名技术进行的“技术特定”签名创造了额外的法律确定性。

9.PKI签名是否像手写签名?

是的,根据《中国电子签名法》第14条的规定。然而,事实上,这样的签名很可能甚至比手写的签名更可靠。数字签名比手写签名更有可能拥有更大的法律权威。如果在十页上手工签署了一个十页的合同,我们就不能确定前九页没有被修改。但是,如果合同是用数字签名的,第三方可以验证合同的一个字节没有被更改……这是理解技术的功能。

10.如果法律规定了对记录保存的要求,那么电子记录如何才能满足这一要求呢?

MLEC 1996年第九条,提供电子信息是不会被拒绝的法律效力,证据的重量取决于用于生成方法的可靠性,商店或数据信息和通信的可靠性方法保持信息的完整性。

以数据消息的形式提供的信息应给予应有的证据权重。在评估数据消息的证据权重时,应考虑数据消息生成、存储或通信的方式的可靠性、保持信息完整性的方式的可靠性、识别其发起者的方式,以及任何其他相关因素。

《中国电子签名法》第6条和第8条以上述法律为例,规定了电子记录可以被视为证据,如电子记录的完整性必须使法院满意的收件人和接收时间。此外,还必须建立用于生成、传输、存储等的方法的可靠性。这是与数字记录的长期访问有关的技术和操作问题,以及长期管理电子记录的长期访问策略的功能。电子记录管理有几个标准,比如ISO的记录保存标准。

Jurisdiction(司法权)

(该部分法条均为中华人民共和国民事诉讼法)

单词含义:defendant被告 Plaintiff原告

Legislative jurisdiction and regulatory competence:Power to prescribe laws. Usually laws apply within the territory only. 立法管辖权和监管权限:制定法律的权力。法律通常只适用于该地区。

Adjudicatory(审判权):Power of a court to hear a dispute - that is to ‘summon’ the defendant before it, hear the dispute and give its judgment and to enforce its judgment. Decided by the laws of each country depending on its rules or civil procedure or ‘caselaw’. Where the dispute involves people from more than one country, then also which country’s law will apply? (choice of law)

法院审理争议的权力,即“传唤”被告,审理争议,并作出判决和执行判决。由每个国家的法律根据其规则或民事程序或“案例法”决定。如果争议涉及多个国家的人,那么适用哪个国家的法律呢?(法律的选择)

关于被告在哪里判决

1.大原则:被告居住地在哪就在哪判(有两个地方)

Domicile:永久居住地,这是当事人的户口地,老家,纳税,拥有财产等等(济南)

Habitual residence:惯常居所,这是当事人的常住地等等(北京)

2.合同纠纷Contract disputes:合同履行的地点,或者签订的地点

3. 侵权纠纷Tort(侵权等其他damage to reputation行为):但凡是发生过伤害,受到损失的地方都可以(比如诽谤已经在全国范围内都知道了,那么在全国任意一个地方都可以判决。这样可以最大限度减小伤害,判决后可以在受到伤害的迅速传播)

4. B2C(欧盟):此时因为消费者就是弱势方,若被告为公司,则选择在原告的居住地判决

Enforcement(执行)

有的时候在中国你成功胜诉了,但被告是美国人,需要他去美国赔偿。如果美国没有这种法律,那么美国警方不会帮你让他赔偿。

因此答题的时候要写:我觉得在中国win a lawsuit,但在美国不一定能enforcement。

Consumer Protect Law(消保法)

(该部分法条均为中华人民共和国消费者权益保护法)

Consumer: A person who buys the goods/ services for own consumption.

消费者:购买商品或服务供自己消费的人。

广告的作用:

1. Provides ‘information’ to potential customers为潜在客户提供“信息”

2. Sets up healthy market competition建立健康的市场竞争

3. Benefits both the supplier and the consumer对供应商和消费者都有利

ISP Liability(互联网服务提供商的责任)

(本节只讲侵权tort,考试涉及的也只有诽谤defamation

Defamation(诽谤)

False statement relating to another person that causes injury to reputation. Speech that is harmful to the reputation of others, be it a natural person or a legal person.

涉及诽谤的三种角色:

Author:一定有责任

Publisher:不一定有

Distributor:责任最低,基本没有

在判断下面两个的责任的时候需要考虑两点:

Actual knowledge:对这件事情的掌握程度,是否懂得这件事是一种诽谤

Control:对这件事的控制程度,比如一些publisher控制能力就大,因为他们可以选择传播还是不传播。

重点!!)美国、欧盟和中国对待ISP Liability的态度

1. 美国(判例法国家)

将ISP分为三类(无实质性修改就无罪)

名称

定义

解释

INFORMATION CONTENT PROVIDER(信息内容提供商)

Responsible for creating or developing (in whole or in part) information & providing it through the internet or through Interactive Computer Services

负责创建或开发(全部或部分)信息,并通过互联网或交互式计算机服务提供信息

类似中国日报,内容生产商,如果是诽谤则只有它有责任

INTERACTIVE COMPUTER SERVICES(交互式计算机服务)

information service, system, or access software provider* that provides or enables computer access by multiple users to a computer server

提供或允许多个用户访问一台计算机服务器的信息服务、系统或访问软件提供商*

类似微博、B站,只是给诽谤者提供一个平台

*Access Software Provider(访问软件提供商)

Provider of client or server software or enabling tools that allow blocking, screening, filtering, analyzing, disabling, caching, transmitting content

提供客户端或服务器软件或启用工具,允许阻止,筛选,过滤,分析,禁用,缓存,传输内容

类似中国电信,只是给在网络上传输信息提供一个条件

(法条原理)

Section 230 of the CDA, 1996(又称safe harbour 避风港原则,必背)

No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.

交互式计算机服务的提供者或用户不得被视为其他信息内容提供者所提供的任何信息的发布者或演讲者。

根本原因:言论自由!!

2.欧盟

将ISP分为三类(“Notice & Take Down”)

名称

解释

HOSTING (Distributor defence)

Must not have actual knowledge of harmful content, is not aware of harmful content and acts expeditiously to remove or disable access to the harmful content

对有害内容没有actual knowledge,不知道有害内容并迅速采取行动删除或禁止访问有害内容

CACHING(缓存)

Must not originate or modify, must remove material or disable access upon actual knowledge that material removed at original source or court has ordered removal or disablement.

不得发明或修改,必须在得知材料从原始来源或法院已下令移除或失效的情况下移除材料或使其无法访问。

中间过渡的,例如西安

MERE CONDUIT(仅仅传输)conduit

Must not originate or modify content

一定不能原创或修改内容

类似中国电信,只是给在网络上传输信息提供一个条件

3.中国

ISP 有责任监视用户

Article 36 of Chinese Tort Law(中华人民共和国侵权责任法) 必背

Article 36 Where network users or Internet service providers utilize network to commit a tort to other’s civil rights and interests, they shall be subject to tort liability

第三十六条 网络用户、网络服务提供者利用网络侵害他人民事权益的,应当承担侵权责任。

Crypto-currencies: e.g. bitcoins (not issued by any country’s central bank!) 例如比特币(不是由任何国家的央行发行的!) Crypto-currencies是Alt-currencies的一种

为什么银行、E-money和E-payment 监管不同?

银行:存取款为主,大多数情况是长期的,银行为了盈利,会将储户存的钱用于给别的公司放贷,因此风险较大

E-money:不确定存的钱什么时候会被使用,充钱的目的也不是储蓄,很少有长期情况,比如充饭卡可能几天就花完了,风险小。

E-payment:单纯地对资金进行“redirection” (重定向)

E - Money(电子货币)

Electronic money (e-money) - digital alternative to cash(现金的数字替代品)

即用户可以通过存储在银行卡、手机或互联网上的钱进行无现金支付

E-Money user pays E-Money ISSUER in advance for value tobe issued on device电子货币用户预先向电子货币发行者支付在设备上发行的价值

总结:The Chinese payment system has been very disruptive – more revolutionary than the e-payments systems in the EU and the US (which are still largely card based and bank dependant)

- largely disintermediated the banking system

- growing abroad now, to service Chinese travellers and consumers abroad

中国的支付系统非常具有颠覆性——比欧盟和美国的电子支付系统更具革命性(后者仍主要基于银行卡和银行)。

——在很大程度上取消了银行体系的中介作用

——目前正在海外发展,服务海外的中国游客和消费者

Crypto-currency / Alt-currency数字货币

This type of 'money' not linked to any national currency! Created via an algorithm

这种“货币”与任何国家的货币都没有联系!通过算法创建的(比特币)

各国态度

US态度:总体趋于放任态度,部分州有相应的法律和监管机构

EU态度:Crypto-currency 在经济体系中微不足道, 所以不去管 (UK的sandbox是对加密货币监管的尝试)

PRC态度:China prohibited financial institutions and third party payment processors from dealing with bitcoin directly. Bitcoin remained legal for private individuals to own and trade and exchange platforms were allowed to continue business.

(没有被禁止)中国禁止金融机构和第三方支付处理机构直接处理比特币。比特币仍然合法,个人拥有和交易比特币,交易平台被允许继续开展业务。

但加密货币不允许参与市场

总结

Why are payment service providers and electronic money issuers regulated?

为什么支付服务提供商和电子货币发行机构受到监管?

·Reasons for Regulation of any payment service监管任何支付服务的原因

1. Protection of the economy经济保护

2. Proper supervision and accountability of payment service providers对支付服务提供商进行适当的监督和问责

3. Consumer protection消费者保护

4. Preventing money ‘laundering’ 防止资金“洗钱”

·监管银行的原因

2. Systemic risk reduction -- to reduce the risk of disruption resulting from adverse trading conditions for banks causing multiple or major bank failures

系统性风险降低——减少银行因不利的交易条件而导致多个或主要银行倒闭的风险

3. Avoid misuse of banks -- to reduce the risk of banks being used for criminal purposes, e.g. laundering the proceeds of crime

避免滥用银行——减少银行被用于犯罪目的的风险,例如洗钱

4. Credit allocation -- to direct credit to favored sectors

信贷分配——将信贷导向优惠部门

·监管FinTech(金融科技)行业的原因

to mitigate threats to financial stability such as systemic risks, liquidity risks, cyber risks, third party reliance and governance risks etc - common risks in all countries.

减轻对金融稳定的威胁,如系统性风险、流动性风险、网络风险、第三方依赖和治理风险等,这些都是各国共同面临的风险。

How is electronic money regulated?

如何监管E-Money(电子货币)

·US

no special ‘regulatory’ regime, like EU, created. No definition of e-money. A patchwork of state and federal laws apply. Permission to be taken state by state. Non banks can issue.

没有像欧盟那样建立特殊的“监管”机制。电子货币没有定义。各州和联邦法律的拼凑适用。一个州接一个州的许可。非银行也可以发行。

·EU

EMD provides light touch 'regulation, Supervisory Regime. Law to provide authorization and operating conditions for EMI’s, harmonized across all the member states of the EU for the issuance of e-money

The EU allows banks to issue e-money, and Non-banks are also allowed to issue e-money because the EU encourages competition and innovation. Set up EMI (Electronic Money Institution). But lighter touch than with banks.

E-money issuers are not permitted to make risky loans or investments with the funds they accept from customers and they are subject to special rules for safeguarding and repaying that money.

EMD采用轻触式监管,监管制度。

EU允许银行发行E-money,也允许非银行机构发行E-money,因为欧盟鼓励竞争和创新。设立EMI(electronic money institution允许发行电子货币的法人)。但监管力度比银行宽松。

电子货币发行者不允许用他们从客户那里获得的资金进行高风险贷款或投资,而且他们要遵守保护和偿还这些资金的特殊规则。

·China

Prepaid cards in the same or similar physical or virtual forms used in the retail, hospitality, dinning and service areas and can only be accepted by the issuer, the company group which the issuer belongs to and the branded chain store or franchising operation. And Prepaid Cards Business subject to Payment Service Regulation

预付卡以与零售、酒店、餐饮、服务等领域相同或类似的实物或虚拟形式使用,且仅能被发卡人、发卡人所属的公司集团及品牌连锁店或特许经营机构接受。并且预支付卡受到PSR的管理。

How are payment service providers regulated?

如何监管支付服务提供商?

·US

US – there isn’t a single law. There are different laws that apply, however, consumers are well protected since the 2008 crash, with rules similar to what we saw in the EU. Similarly with China.

美国——没有单一的法律。有不同的法律适用,然而,自2008年金融危机以来,消费者受到了很好的保护,其规则与我们在欧盟看到的类似。与中国相似。

·EU

EU created a single law for two different types of e-payment service providers, the EMI and the PI, to encourage market entrance by innovators of payment services.

Regulated by Payment Services Directive(PSD), Payment Service providers must comply with the following requirements:

欧盟为两种不同类型的电子支付服务提供商(EMI和PI)制定了单一法律,以鼓励支付服务创新者进入市场。

根据支付服务指令(PSD),支付服务提供商必须遵守以下要求:

1. Payment Institution must have sufficient capital支付机构必须有足够的资金

2. Properly controlled and the controllers are known适当的控制和控制器是已知的

3. Properly governed with adequate systems and controls适当的管理与适当的系统和控制

4. Has risk controls in place风险控制是否到位

5. Transparent information to be provided to customers and protect their rights and interests向客户提供透明信息,保护其权益

·China

China has a single law to cover different types of e-payment services. Market entry is a little tougher than for EU innovators, but justified because of the volume of transactions that Chinese PSPs handle.

Previously, operated in a ‘grey’ area - not clearly illegal but not completely legal either. At present, only banks and financial institutes can provide payment and settlement services on approval by PBOC.

Payment Service providers need to require Business License.

Make further rules from time to time.

Stricter enforcement of rules.

中国有一部统一的法律来涵盖不同类型的电子支付服务。市场准入比欧盟的创新者要困难一些,但由于中国的psp处理的交易量,这是合理的。

以前,在一个“灰色”区域运作——不明显违法,但也不完全合法。目前,只有银行和金融机构可以提供支付和结算服务,经中国人民银行批准。

支付服务提供商需要有营业执照。

不时地制定进一步的规则。

严格执行规则。
