UNIQUE BANKING SYSTEM
IN VOGUE IN GERMANY
Giro System of Hamburg Does
Away With Checks

Very little is known in this country
Of the Giro system of banking in Ger
many. This system has been in use in
the stata of Hamburg since the estab-
lishmenk Of the Hamburger bank in
1919, says the New York Times.
An account is opened in the usual
manner. and when payments are to be
made the payer. instead of preparing a
check, merely instructs his banker 70
debit his account with the sum involved
and to credit Richard Roe's account
with a like amount
r. however, payer and payee have
their accounts in different banks the
payer then requests his banker to
transfer the amount in question TO the
bank Of the payee, with Instructions to
credit Richard Roe's account with the
amount Of the Indebtedness.
Convenient blank forms are provided
for making these notifications. When
the banker receives an instruction of
this character he in turn notifies Rich
ard Roe Of the payment to his credit
and the name Of the payer.
In Hamburg the Reichsbank and fxe
important banks use the Giro system.
Representatives of these banks meet
several times daily at the Reichsbank,
where transactions between their sew
eral customers are cleared. In Ham
burg very little material money is used
IN effecting transactions, the habit
being to settle all obligations. even Of
the most insignificant character, by
uberweisungszette When payments
are 10 be made from one city to another
this is done usually through the
Reichsbsnk, which has 500 branches.
more or less, throughout the empire.
All transactions are undertaken with
Ok cost to either payer or payee, and,
on the contrary, deposits subject to
this modified form of checking usually
draw one per cent interest per annum.
The advantages of the Giro system
fall partly under the head Of security
and partly of convenience. Danger
from forgery is eliminated, as the noti-
fcstion sent to banker by a payer
could not by any possibility be utilized
sovantageously by criminally disposed
persons. The only Inconvenience OBJ
servable arises from the fact that re-
ceipts for payments are not acknowl-
edged on bills as rendered. unless such
receipts are specially sought by mes
senger after the bank exchange has
been made.
II is customary in small local trans
actions for a payer to note at the foot
Of bills the date of payment through
his banker. and in case Of possible
dispute the bank is always prepared
