Development model in the field of public services.

(I) Initial exploration of the application of financial IC cards in the field of public services

China's banking industry began to get involved in IC cards in the mid-to-late 1990s, and it is an important industry in China to use IC card technology earlier. In December 1997, the People's Bank of China promulgated the first IC card standard in China's financial industry ("China Financial Integrated Circuit (IC) Card Specification (Version 1.0)), which laid the foundation for the development of China's financial IC card.

In 1998, the People's Bank of China organized and coordinated commercial banks to start banking IC card pilots in Beijing, Shanghai and Changsha. Subsequently, it gradually expanded to Tianjin, Fuzhou, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Guiyang, Chongqing and other cities. Through the development of e-wallet business to promote the application of bank IC cards, some cities have also tried in the medical, transportation and social security industries, and achieved certain results. However, due to the low degree of generalization of the bank card business at that time, the society did not have enough understanding of micropayments. The overall development level of the public service sector was not strong, and the demand for cross-industry application was not deep. Due to the low rate and high price, although the pilot city has invested a lot of energy, the overall application effect is not satisfactory, and the bank IC card has not been able to achieve large-scale and large-scale application in China.

However, the preliminary practice of financial IC cards in the field of public services has played an important role in inviting financial institutions to understand, understand and learn the technical standards of financial IC card business, and gradually cultivated a group of professional talents to drive domestic card terminal enterprises. The growth. The technical standards, business design and security system of the "China Financial Integrated Circuit (IC) Card Specification (Version 1.0)" have played an important role in the development of IC card micropayment applications in other domestic industries.

In March 2005, on the basis of preliminary exploration, the People's Bank of China promulgated the "China Financial Integrated Circuit (IC) Card Specification (Version 2.0)", which is based on international mainstream standards and is compatible with industry application requirements. In addition, the self-designed e-wallet business based on borrowing and crediting has higher security and business innovation capabilities.

Since the launch of the “City One Card” project in Tianjin, Fuzhou and other cities in 2005, the promotion of financial IC cards integrating government public services and financial services has begun to be carried out throughout the country. In 2008, the People's Bank of China approved Ningbo as the first financial institution in the country. The IC card multi-application pilot city is led by the municipal government to coordinate the competent departments of various industries, and the PBC's civil financial IC card pilot project, which is actively participated by the commercial banks, is the most representative.

The Ningbo Citizen Card Financial IC Card Application Pilot integrates government services such as civil affairs, labor, medical care, provident fund, public security, industry and commerce, taxation, education, and other commercial services such as transportation, utilities, and other micropayments. On an IC card. In addition to the credit card function of a common bank card, it also has a bank e-wallet function and supports contactless use. Among them, for the pure electronic wallet card without the debit and credit function, the non-real name system is adopted. The Ningbo Citizen Card relies on the existing bank card network throughout the country to conduct transaction payment and fund clearing on the basis of corresponding technical improvements. The card account funds are managed by the issuing bank in accordance with relevant regulations. When using the bank e-wallet to pay, the cardholder maintains the property that the equity fund always pays in the personal account. Through the account deposit or cash payment method, a certain amount is pre-stored in the IC card held by the equity holder, and the consumption amount is Limited to the amount of pre-existing. And the anonymous wallet card can also be recycled. In short, this one-card multi-application better reflects the characteristics of “reasonable, standardized, economic, safe and convenient”.

The Ningbo Citizen Card Project is the latest exploration of the use of financial IC cards in the public domain, and is also a successful practice of the regional application of China Financial Integrated Circuit (IC) Card Specification (Version 2.0). Its successful experience is "government guidance, market operation, overall planning, and unified standards." To a certain extent, the project has realized the combination of urban informatization and financial informatization, which has significantly improved the efficiency of government public service management, and promoted the improvement of financial service level and the upgrading of related information industries. The pilot results have a positive guiding and reference role in promoting the application of financial IC cards throughout the country.

The Ningbo pilot not only verified the feasibility and safety of the financial IC card standard, but also provided a basis for the PBC to further revise and improve a series of standards related to financial IC cards. Since 2009, the People's Bank of China has successively promulgated the "Bank Card Card Specification", "Bank Card POS Terminal Specification", "Bank Card ATM Terminal Specification" and "Bank Card Network Joint Technical Specification" and other standards, especially in April 2010. The promulgation of China's Financial IC Card Specification marks that China's financial IC card application has entered a new historical development stage.
