This paper aims at comprehension of fundamental economic category - money in its actual mode - electronic money. It is the great challenge of recent economy to explain its substance and forms of its functions. Perhaps we can assume the idea that money ought to be considered as a flow of information. Thus this paper is also describing the basic methods of regulation of electronic money using by the Czech National Bank. It was not the goal of this article to discuss the security of electronic money (as e.g. digital signatures, public key cryptography) due to its technical nature.
Keywords: Electronic money; Methods of regulation of e-money; Institution of electronic money.
