The first ATMIA conference in
Eastern and Central Europe will be handled in
Vilnius on the 9-10 of September,
2004.
ATMIA (Asynchronous Transfer
Mode
Industry
Association) will organize the conference, the sponsor of which is the company
“Penkiø kontinentø bankinës technologijos“
(“Penki Kontinentai Banking Technologies”) BS/2 – a member of the directorate of
ATMIA from June. Specialists from different countries of the world will read
reports about new technologies on banking systems, analyze the questions of
safety and other problems relevant to Central and Eastern
Europe.
Eastern
Europe –
the world fastest dilative market on the technologies of banking service
equipment and bank charge cards. This region’s population is more than 200
millions residents. A quickly expanded industry of banking technologies gives
great opportunities to the companies able to designate the needs of the market
and to find a way to satisfy them. ATM is the only transfer mode industry
association, which provides all kinds of service on ATM at the international
market.
ATMIA is the association
created to forward an expansion of the automated teller machines. ATMIA industry
association was established in 1997 in
USA. Today the branches of ATM are
located in North
America,
Europe,
Australia, South-East
Asia,
Africa. There are producers and
distributors of ATM, financial organizations, individuals, service and
consulting institutions between the ATMIA members.
JSC “Penkiø kontinentø bankinës technologijos“ (“Penki
Kontinentai Banking Technologies”) BS/2 is a secondary company of the “Penki kontinentai”, which was established in 2001
after the department of banking technologies was expanded. A successful six
years experience stimulated the establishment of a separate modern and dynamic
company, which will work well in Lithuania and at the foreign
markets.
The total benefit for last
year of the company group is 80,2 millions litas (without value added tax –
VAT). The company exports its products and services to 34 countries worldwide,
takes part in the popular IT exhibitions, one of them is the prestigious IT
exhibition “CeBIT“.
Eastern
Europe
countries-candidates to EU differ from EU countries-members in the volume and
working of banking systems. Many financial institutions deal in stock at the
region, perform the banks in between operations. They do not match a conception
of the “western” bank.
Hungary is the first country which outlives
an intermediate period in economics and implements reforms of the banking
system. There was a monobanking system in
Hungary such as it was in other Eastern
counties. The government proposed to change the nonqualified actives to stock of
the government’s debt and to resolve the problems of delayed payments in
Bulgaria, Czechia, Estonia,
Hungary,
Lithuania,
Poland,
Romania and
Slovakia.
The banks of the
Baltic
States
couldn’t trust the funds of the saving-banks because of their unstable position
– after the USSR broke up the Savings-bank of
Moscow (the direct heir of
USSR Saving-bank) didn’t manage to
re-erect the local savings-banks. The same situation was in
Slovenia. There were many banks in
Czechia, Slovakia and
Slovenia during the intermediate period in
2001. On the other hand, smaller numbers of banks were in
Lithuania,
Romania and
Bulgaria. Besides, the numbers of the banks
decreased only in Bulgaria,
Romania and
Slovakia at this
period.
Deposit formation intensity
also depends on the country – Czechia, Hungary,
Poland and
Slovakia apply
Holland banking system model. According to
it preference is given to the banks in between markets. The banking systems of
Bulgaria,
Estonia,
Latvia,
Lithuania and
Romania are close to the German and Greek
systems, where attention is given to clients’ deposits.
