The article sets out to assess the development of Poland’s network of automated teller machines (ATMs) after a series of reductions in ATM interchange fees in the Visa and MasterCard systems in 2010. The author aims to determine how these reductions have influenced the development of the country’s cash dispenser network and analyzes whether or not ATM owners should be allowed to impose special surcharges on cash withdrawals under law. Moreover, based on empirical research conducted in 2010 and 2009, the author estimates the savings for consumers and banks resulting from the use of ATMs. Thanks to cash dispensers, consumers save time, while banks and the economy as a whole save money, Górka notes. The research makes use of foreign market experience, especially that gained in the United States, and of theoretical models developed in various research reports. The specific features of the Polish market are also taken into account. The author outlines the advantages and disadvantages of ATM surcharges, pointing out that, under the current economic conditions in Poland, following the interchange fee reductions, passing laws regulating the permissibility of surcharges would be beneficial to the development of the country’s ATM network, especially in rural areas and small towns. The development of the ATM network benefits both consumers and banks, the author says. Poland is a country in which cash payments continue to dominate and consumers need to have access to banknotes and coins, while cash dispensers are a relatively cheap channel of distributing cash, Górka says. Based on macroeconomic data for 2009, the author estimates that Polish consumers saved 22.4 million hours that year by withdrawing cash in ATMs instead of at bank branches, which means that the average consumer and bank product user saved 1 hour. The total cost savings of the Polish economy from the use of ATMs stood at 1.63 billion zlotys (about 400 million euros). The estimated cost savings for banks were 1.34 billion zlotys (around 340 million euros), according to Górka. An analysis of the Polish market data shows that the reductions in the interchange fees collected from ATM cash withdrawal transactions have directly led to a sharp decline in the profitability of the ATM business for banks and independent ATM deployers, who have recently been the main driving force behind the development of the ATM network in Poland. In the case of Poland, the possibility of charging special ATM transaction convenience fees does not necessarily mean that such fees will be charged to consumers, while they would help stimulate the market, according to the author. At the moment, interchange fees are low, Górka says, which discourages both banks and independent ATM deployers from investing in the development of the ATM network despite consumer expectations.

The issue of non-cash transactions in Poland is of particular importance due to the ongoing socio-economic transformation. After the recent statutory reduction in the interchange fee charged to merchants for card payment, the value of non-cash transactions can be significantly increased. This trend has been observed in other countries and the faster development of supporting infrastructure has also been noted. The quality and availability of such infrastructure in Poland is improving, and due to the guidance issued by payment organizations, in two years time the card acceptance network in Poland will be one of the most modern in the world. There are also important social changes - currenlty the most active group using non-cash settlements are young and middle-aged people with tertiary education. The development of education enforces the growing awareness of safety and comfort of the solutions based on non-cash payments. Polish society is using bank services more often and an increasing number of a debit and credit cards is issued. Moreover, Poland is a particulary absorbent market for innovation, therefore the development of mobile payments may be faster than in other countries. Implementation of modern technologies, such as payments using biometric features, will also contribute to the development of non-cash transactions.

The aim of the article is to present the functioning model of the interchange fee and its regulatory reduction process as well as to assess the preliminary impact of this reduction on the Polish card market. The research showed a significant acceleration in the development of POS terminals network and a faster increase in the value of cashless transactions. Furthermore, there has been no significant increase in the fees for customers. Contrary to fears, the regulation has not hampered innovation in the Polish banking sector, but rather has contributed to the development of new payment solutions, including mobile payments. However, in order to assess the full effects of the regulation, a long-term perspective should be applied.

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie mechanizmu funkcjonowania opłaty interchange i procesu jej regulacyjnego obniżenia oraz dokonanie oceny jego pierwszych skutków dla rynku kart płatniczych w Polsce. Przeprowadzone badania wykazały, że doszło do znaczącego przyspieszenia rozwoju sieci terminali POS akceptujących karty i jednocześnie szybszego wzrostu wartości transakcji bezgotówkowych z użyciem tego instrumentu. Nie zaobserwowano także znaczącego wzrostu opłat dla klientów. Wbrew obawom regulacja ta nie doprowadziła do zahamowania innowacyjności polskiego sektora bankowego, a raczej przyczyniła się do poszukiwania i rozwoju nowych technologii płatniczych, w tym płatności mobilnych. Pełne rezultaty procesu regulacji będą jednak możliwe do oceny w dłuższej perspektywie czasowej.
