Situation 29
情景 29
Bill Hobson is asking his banker about the local Clearing House Association in their city.
比尔·霍布森正向他的银行从业者打听有关他们城里的地方票据交换所的情况。
Hobson:What is meant by the term Clearing House Association ？
霍布森：票据交换是什么意思？
Banker:It‘s a voluntary association of the banks in the city which settles interbank debts 。
职员：它是城市中各银行自愿结合的组织，用来清理银行之间互相欠款的问题。
During a business day we accept checks drawn 1 on other banks and other banks accept checks drawn on us.
在营业期间，我们接受从其他银行开来的支票，而其他的银行也接受我的开出的支票，
We balance these interbank obligations through the clearing house 。
我们通过票据交换所来平衡这些银行之间的债务。
H:What about the actual checks that you get which are drawn on other banks？
霍布森：你们接受从其他银行开出的支票的实际意义是什么呢？
B;Of course ，we must give these checks to drawee bank to collect the funds they owe us 。
职员：当然，我们必须把这些支票交给票据付款行，并且收回他们欠我们的资金。
And they give us checks drawn ourselves to collect the funds we owe them 。
同样，他们把我们开出的支票交还给我们，也收回我们欠他们的资金。
H:So the clearing house handles all this ？
职员：因此，票据交换所就是办理这些事情的。
B:Yes，they separate all the checks according to drawee bank ，add the total each bank owes and deduct 2 that from the balance maintained at the clearing house .And ，of course，they add to the balance the amount each bank is owed.
职员：是的，他们按照票据付款行区分开所有的支票，把每个银行对其他行的欠款额加总，再从各银行保留在标据交换所的余额中减去其欠款总额。当然，还要把其他银行对这个银行的欠款加到余额中去。
Then they deliver the actual checks to each drawee bank 。
然后，票据交换所把这些实际的支票交给每个标据付款行。
H:What about checks drawn on banks outside the city ？
霍布森：那么，从外地银行开出的支票又如何处理呢？
B:The clearing house sends those checks to the Federal Reserve Bank’s collection and clearing service 。
职员：票据交换所把这些支票寄给联邦储蓄银行的托收和票据交换业务部门，
That operates just like a local clearing house ，but deals with out-of-town or out-of-state banks 。
这个部门的业务与地方票据交换所的业务性质是一样的，但是它是与处地或外州的银行进行业务往来。
So between the local and Federal Reserve clearing houses，checks drawn on any bank in the country can be easily processed 。
因此，在地方和联邦票据交换所之间，国内任何银行开出的支票都能很容易地得到处理。
