🌍 4 December: International Day of Banks. Waiting for Safe ePayDay 🎉🌐
On 19 December 2019, the UN
General Assembly made a momentous decision, adopting resolution 74/245 to
designate 4 December as the International Day of
Banks.
This recognition stems from
acknowledging the substantial potential of multilateral development banks and
other international financial institutions in fuelling sustainable development,
providing expertise, and highlighting the indispensable role of banking systems
in UN Member States in enhancing the standard of living.
Purpose of the Day: The
purpose of the International Day of Banks
is twofold.
Firstly, it recognizes the
considerable potential of multilateral and international development banks in
financing sustainable development.
Secondly, it underscores the
vital role played by the banking systems in UN Member States in contributing to
the ongoing improvement of the standard of living.

this shift, you ask? It's a conscious step, a personal commitment until the
arrival of the much-anticipated #SafeePayDay
— a day dedicated to celebrating secure ePayments.

of Banks Celebration: Annually commemorated on December 4, the

crucial information for financial security.
Beyond the conventional role of
financial support, banks globally serve their communities in diverse ways. The

supporting sustainable development, aligning with the goals of the international
community. Banks play a crucial role in financing the sustainable development
of member nations and providing information to achieve these goals.

Why Mark
International Days? International days are crucial
occasions to educate the public on global issues, mobilize political will and
resources, and celebrate the achievements of humanity.
While the existence of
international days predates the establishment of the United Nations, the UN has
embraced them as powerful advocacy tools.
Other UN observances are also
marked to reinforce global goals.
ePayments Channels: In
India/Bharat, various ePayment channels like RTGS/NEFT/IMPS and, of course, UPI
play a significant role.
Similarly, worldwide, there are
numerous ePayment channels such as SWIFT, contributing to the global financial
landscape.
🚀 A Dedicated Safe ePayDay:
Imagine a dedicated Safe ePayDay showcasing the myriad ePayment
channels!
Such an event would not only be
wonderful but also serve as a powerful platform to promote secure and efficient
electronic transactions globally.
Let's look forward to a future
where Safe ePayDay becomes
a global celebration of the diverse ePayment channels shaping the financial
ecosystem. 💳🌐
