Electronic banking covers systems for managing electronic money exchanged using payment cards (credit/debit cards and related) and digital payment apps relying on IT and telematic tools.
More in general, electronic banking and advanced payments imply a branch of banking information technology. Electronic payment systems (or e-payment systems) are studied and developed which allow money to be transferred electronically (EFT - Electronic Funds Transfer) using quick, simple tools.
What are the advantages of electronic banking and advanced payments? The first is their wide spread and ease of use. In recent years, electronic payment systems have become increasingly widespread and now form an integral part of people's purchasing habits.
The second is that they are also safe. Transactions made with an app, debit or credit card often require two-step confirmation, which minimizes the chances of fraud or theft.
Businesses can also benefit from electronic banking and advanced payments:
Moreover, all commercial structures now have POS terminals, which are necessary for quick, safe payments. By enhancing the role of electronic banking and advanced payments to the detriment of cash, you can increase the security of your business and can track all payments.
The digitization of payment services and flourishing of many apps — from the pioneering PayPal and Money Transfer to the most recent — allows millions of people around the world to exchange money safely.
Cryptocurrencies are also part of this trend. The emergence of blockchain technology and Bitcoin, the latest in e-money and advanced payments, represent the new frontier of online payments.
The project was defined by its creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, as "A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic money that allows online payments to be sent directly from one entity to another without going through a financial institution."
In short, it is a set of skilfully coordinated technologies: an electronic signature, time stamping, cryptography, a decentralized computer network, proof-of-work and source code released under an open-source license.
A blockchain is a record composed of consecutive data blocks that indicate the history of all transactions that took place between participants on the network.
The blocks are chronologically ordered and each is uniquely identified through a hash (cryptographic function) and time stamp, so data cannot be duplicated, replicated or stolen.

One operation that can be improved through the evolution of electronic banking and advanced payments, or cryptocurrencies, relates precisely invoice balances.
Tokens can be distributed to company employees to give them access to training courses and check when and where they are used.
Anything in your company that requires notarization with internal time stamping could be managed via a blockchain.
