Editor,

The lead story of The New Times of December 6 was about VISA Inc and Government entering a partnership to streamline e-banking. This was, indeed, very good news as in this day and age, there is no reason as to why people should continuously carry large sums of  to make payments or purchases, yet the technology to drive a paper-less economy is available.

I hope the banks take this on urgently as the benefits of e-banking are numerous for them, their clients and the economy as well.
