E-money

A narrow, niche payments series: the loading and float of e-money on Swiss domestic payment cards (prepaid / stored-value card balances), monthly from 2014. The smallest cube in this group at just 4 series. It splits into two halves in the hierarchy. Loading (the act of topping up a card) carries three measures of the same flow: TT transactions in thousands, BMF0 amount in CHF millions, and BTF amount per transaction in CHF (a derived average, value / count). Float (the outstanding balance sitting on cards) is a single stock: BMF1 amount in CHF millions. So in one short table you get a flow (loading) with its per-transaction average and the corresponding stock (float), which is the distinctive flow-vs-stock pairing for the e-money niche. It is the youngest history of the six and one of the zave payment-system family.
