Correspondent banking faces a problem
of definition. Five years ago the business was preoccupied with electronic funds
transfer. The spread of Swift's messaging network and the developing of the
equally efficient clearing systems promised to elevate the medium through which
banks communicate and fitted the traditional concept of correspondent banks
talking to each other. By streamlining this function, however,
the nature of the business changed and the importance of nurturing interbank
relationships dwindled in the eyes of some correspondent bankers. Technology
tends to lead to concentration, because the customer has gone to the bank that
is bigger and faster, and can handle more volume, explains Ian Cormack, who
heads Citicorp's financial institutions group in London and sits on the council
of the clearing system in the UK. Moving or receiving money has
always been at the heart of interbank activity. Lawrence Grand, international
banking director at Barclays, makes the fundamental point that correspondent
banking will always exist in a world where banks have to talk to other banks to
conduct money transmissions. This view is shared at Manufacturers Hanover, where
Joseph Long-aberdi, a banking vice president and senior representative, believes
funds transfer business is still the major product over which correspondent
banks wage battle. But while the need to balance interbank
accounts remains a core function of the business, the complexion of the funds
passing through the payments system has altered dramatically. The rise and rise
of financial activity has displaced trade - related flows, particularly in the
period after Big Bang, until today around 90 per cent of the business consists
of financial transactions, estimates Mr. Cormack. Volumes
continue to rise significantly in the major clearing centres, largely feeding
off growth in securities processing and foreign exchange. The value of dollar -
dominated transactions passing through New York's clearing house inter - bank
payments system (Chips) increased by 23.7 percent last year to a daily average
of $ 526 billion, equivalent to 126 840 transactions a day, and compared with $
425 billion and 113 758 transactions in 1986. In London's
sterling market the value of daily transactions passing through the clearing
house automated payments system (Chaps) climbed by 28.5 percent in the year
ending March 1988 to £45 billion, or 23 441 transactions a day, compared with £3
billion and 20 958 in the previous months. Keeping pace with
growth has not been easy, particularly for the banks which for reasons of size,
cost and strategy have been confined to a marginal role in the business.
Commitment to the technological infrastructure is vital. Five years ago
Manufacturers Hanover had 75 million invested in a worldwide telecommunications
network. Anyone who baulked at such an investment five years ago would find it
difficult to enter the market today.

Passage 1
Larger banks in large cities often specialize in particular ancillary
services in addition to the bank deposit services they supply. They may have
foreign branches in order to provide banking services in particular foreign
countries. Large banks may sell consumer credit card services; that is, they
allow individual banks to join their credit card network. They may be brokers in
the federal funds markets, a market for short-term loans in which commercial
banks participate. Banks may specialize in handling trust agreements. Large
banks often provide many of these services for their depositors as well as
selling these ancillary services to other banks. This provision of services to
other banks is called correspondent banking. The degree of
competition in the market for banking services may be related to the number of
depository intermediaries in a particular locality. If there is one commercial
bank and no thrifts in a small town in a remote area, most of the residents may
deposit their funds in the local bank. If there are no financial intermediaries
offering similar services, such as business loans, the local bank supplies most
of these loans. In most areas, other financial intermediaries and nearby banks
compete for loan business. Larger loans made to larger local businesses may not
be supplied solely by banks in the local area. Unlike the cost of transporting
physical property, the cost of transporting money by check is negligible. The
capital market, the market for borrowing funds, cannot easily be subdivided by
geographical areas. This consideration makes the measurement of competition for
large-loan business in a given geographical area a difficult problem.
However, in some states one or several bank holding companies own a
significant number of banks in the state. This subject is discussed
subsequently.
