http://usa.chinadaily.com.cn/business/2013-04/10/content_16388633.htm Beijing påtalemyndigheten kalt på bredden til mer nøye gjennom kredittkort programmer, et trekk bedt av en nylig topp i svindel. Kredittkortsvindel sto for mesteparten av mer enn 1000 økonomisk kriminalitet saker som domstolene i den nasjonale hovedstaden behandlet fra 2010 til 2012, og påtalemyndigheten forventer nummeret for å holde stigende. Unnlater å betale saldoer var den mest vanlige overtredelsen, mens de fleste andre involverte falske kredittkort programmer, byen procuratorate sa. Kredittkort er konfiskert av politiet under en operasjon med sikte på bekjempelse av økonomisk kriminalitet i Nanjing, Jiangsu-provinsen. Gitt til Kina daglig I de siste to årene, har Chaoyang-distrikt tiltalt 660 personer mistenkt for kredittkortsvindel, mens bydelen og strøket har tiltalt 264. "Kredittkortsvindel boomed i 2012 sammen med vårt distrikt rask økonomisk utvikling," sa Lu Junzhao, direktør for økonomisk kriminalitet for Strøkets påtale myndighet. Han sa at rapporter av kriminalitet i fjor var ni ganger hva de var i 2011. Nesten sa to tredjedeler av tiltalte var arbeidsledig, men var i stand til å søke om kortene uten å gi alle nødvendig dokumentasjon, en viktig grunn for topp i svindel, han. Zhu Haiyan, en aktor i Sanyuan distriktet, sa folk uten faste inntekter var den største lovbrytere. Selv om bankene har strenge prosedyrer for kredittkort programmer, sa mange ansatte har lettet kvalifikasjoner for søkere eller selv kunne ikke bekrefte identiteter, Zhu. I ett tilfelle hun håndterte, to saksøkte lyktes i å få kredittkort ved hjelp av en kopi av en kollega ID-kort. En bankansatt så en av søkerens signaturer var ikke ID kortinnehaveren, men godkjent programmet allikevel. Wang Hai ble dømt for å få et kredittkort ved hjelp av falske inntekt og real estate sertifikater i en bank i Sanyuan og deretter kjøre opp gjeld på mer enn 90.000 yuan ($ 14 500). En bank arbeidstaker heter Zeng i Chaoyang selv brukte sin posisjon til å få et kort i sin mors navn å forbedre hans arbeid-volum og få en større bonus, sa dere Ping, en aktor i distriktet.

The below infographic details the history of the personal check (also known as cheque), an instrument which has been a pivotal component of historical and modern banking, and the payment system. While checks have become marginalized and even phased out in some countries, in preference of electronic payment systems, checks and related financial instruments (e.g. letters of credit, bills of exchange, bearer bonds, etc) remain an important tool in financial transactions and arrangements. Central banks often have oversight of the payment system, particularly where the central bank has banking system regulatory responsibilities, and may play a role in regulating the form and function of checks, and the clearing and processing of check based payments.
