1. ''Payments - cards - charges.''
The system of credit creation and intermediation that involves entities and activities fully or partially outside the conventional banking system.


Interchange fees or charges relate to credit cards, debit cards, and other cards.


Interchange charges are levied by the merchant acquiring company (normally a bank or other financial institution that "buys” the transactions from the retailer at a discount).  
Some non-bank entities and transactions have the capacity to operate on a large scale in ways that create bank-like risks to financial stability (for example, longer-term credit extension based on short-term funding and leverage).  


They include transaction fees for debit cards and turnover fees for credit cards charged by the card acquirer that processes card payments on behalf of the retailer.  
Such risk creation may take place at an entity level but it can also form part of a complex chain of transactions, in which leverage and maturity transformation occur in stages, and in ways that create multiple forms of feedback into the regulated banking system.


Interchange charges are often negotiable and depend on the volumes of transactions, the average transaction size, the method of processing and the credit quality of the transactions.
For this reason regulators are taking increasing interest in the activities of the shadow banking system.

The system of credit creation and intermediation that involves entities and activities fully or partially outside the conventional banking system.


Some non-bank entities and transactions have the capacity to operate on a large scale in ways that create bank-like risks to financial stability (for example, longer-term credit extension based on short-term funding and leverage).

Such risk creation may take place at an entity level but it can also form part of a complex chain of transactions, in which leverage and maturity transformation occur in stages, and in ways that create multiple forms of feedback into the regulated banking system.

For this reason regulators are taking increasing interest in the activities of the shadow banking system.
