전자무역결제시스템에 관한 연구 -Bolero System과 TradeCard를 중심으로-

A Comparative Study on the Settlement System of Electronic Trade

전자상거래의 도입으로 인하여 전신송금환(T/T)${\cdot}$우편송금환(M/T)${\cdot}$송금수표(D/D)와 같은 단순송금방식(Remittance), 현금결제방식(COD)과 서류결제방식(CAD), 지급인도조건(D/P)${\cdot}$인수인도조건(D/A)과 같은 추심 결제방식, 신용장(Letter of Credit)방식 등 기존의 무역결제수단이 신용카드(Credit Card), 전자화폐(Electronic Cash), 전자자금이체(EFT; Electronic Fund Transfer), 무역카드(TradeCard), SWIFT의 전자신용장(Electronic L/C), 볼레로 시스템 등의 전자결제시스템으로 전환되었다. 이에 본고는 대표적 전자무역결제시스템인 볼레로와 무역카드를 비교${\cdot}$분석함으로써 이들 시스템의 활용가능성을 모색하고자 하는 것이다.

Electronic Commerce has already existed for over 20 years. The Bolero project initially had the support of TEDIS, and now is jointly financed by SWIFT(Society for World International Financial Telecommunications) which handles most of the electronic funds transfer for banks, and the Through Transport Mutual Assurance Association(the TT Club), a mutual insurance association most of whose members are drawn from the Multimodal transport industry or transport intermediaries. Bolero's mission is to provide guaranteed and secure delivery, in electronic form, of trade documentation, globally, based on a binding legal environment and common procedures, Bolero will also provide a platform for provision of neutral cross-industry services. TradeCard is a payment and settlement system that is an alternative to letters of credit. That is, TradeCard is a business-to-business e-commerce infrastructure that enables buyers and sellers to conduct and settle international trade transactions securely over the Internet. Paperless, payment-guaranteed international trade transactions - which eliminate the traditional letters of credit with electronic certifications - are widely considered the most difficult B2B transactions to conduct.
