TRANSFORMATION: MOBILE MESSAGING EXCHANGE A NEW GOLDEN AGE OF MOBILE BANKING? The ubiquity of mobile phones has made them an ideal channel for mobile banking services. Research from Ovum indicates that retail bank investment into digital banking technology will achieve 5.2% CAGR (2018-2022) 1, It is to be assumed that a significant portion of this will target mobile banking applications and related services, and the growth rate is significantly higher than comparable investment in other IT areas, such as ATM, contact centre services or even fraud and security spending1. Emerging markets have proven particularly open to mobile banking services as the mobile infrastructures in these regions is often more advanced (and less expensive to deploy) than the fixed-line alternative. Traditionally SMS-based services have been the mainstay of mobile banking, but this has changed in developed markets with the advent of smartphones and the rise of the app economy.

  • Industry Perspectives on Mobile/Digital Wallets and Channel Convergence
    Mobile Payments Industry Workgroup (MPIW) December 3-4, 2014 Meeting Report Industry Perspectives on Mobile/Digital Wallets and Channel Convergence Elisa Tavilla Payment Strategies Industry Specialist Federal Reserve Bank of Boston March 2015 The author would like to thank the speakers at the December meeting and the members of the MPIW for their thoughtful comments and review of the report. The views expressed in this paper are solely those of the author and do not reflect official positions of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, or the Federal Reserve System. I. Introduction The Federal Reserve Banks of Boston and Atlanta1 convened a meeting of the Mobile Payments Industry Workgroup (MPIW) on December 3-4, 2014 to discuss (1) different wallet platforms; (2) how card networks and other payment service providers manage risks associated with converging digital and mobile channels; and (3) merchant strategies around building a mobile payment and shopping experience. Panelists considered how the mobile experience is converging with ecommerce and what new risks are emerging. They discussed how EMV,2 tokenization,3 and card-not-present (CNP)4 will impact mobile/digital wallets and shared their perspectives on how to overcome risk challenges in this environment, whether through tokenization, encryption, or the use of 3D Secure.5 MPIW members also discussed how various tokenization models can be supported in the digital environment, and the pros and cons of in-app solutions from both a merchant and consumer perspective. With the broad range of technologies available in the marketplace, merchants shared perspectives on how to address the emergence of multiple wallets and the expansion of mobile/digital commerce.

  • A Survey on Contactless Payment Methods for Smartphones
    Thesis no: BCS-2016-05 A survey on contactless payment methods for smartphones David Andersson Faculty of Computing Blekinge Institute of Technology SE–371 79 Karlskrona, Sweden This thesis is submitted to the Faculty of Computing at Blekinge Institute of Technology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of BSC. The thesis is equivalent to 10 weeks of full time studies. Contact Information: Author(s): David Andersson E-mail: [email protected] University advisor: Adjunct Lecturer Francisco Lopez Luro Department of Creative Technologies Faculty of Computing Internet : www.bth.se Blekinge Institute of Technology Phone : +46 455 38 50 00 SE–371 79 Karlskrona, Sweden Fax : +46 455 38 50 57 Abstract Context. The use of smartphones has increased drastically in the last years. More and more areas of use are discovered each day. One of the new fields of use is to make contactless payments with the help of a smartphone. A contactless payment system for a smartphone is a solution that will allow the user to make a payment by placing the smartphone in near proximity of the payment terminal in order to make a payment instead of using a regular credit card or cash. Objectives. The aim of this thesis is to present the current state of the smartphone systems used to conduct contactless payments, how they are implemented, possible flaws, and suggested solutions to re- move the flaws. Methods. A literature study was conducted in order to find reli- able information regarding how the systems works. Since the field of contactless payments is still new, there are several knowledge gaps re- garding how parts of the systems works.

  • Chinese Online Payment Platforms for Their Individual Needs
    SNAPSHOT GUIDE TO ONLINE PAYMENT PLATFORMS FOR CHINESE VISITORS JULY 2017 OVERVIEW The use of online payment platforms has reshaped the way people pay for goods and services in China. Over the past five years, financial transactions are increasingly being handled through the use of advanced technology in a smartphone device, creating a fast and easy way for customers to pay for goods and services. While there are over 700 million registered users of online payment platforms in China – who complete approximately 380 million transactions a day – use of these platforms in Australia is relatively limited. In the year ending March 2017, 1.2 million Chinese visited Australia (up 12% from the previous year). Chinese visitors to Australia are the highest spending ($9.2 billion in 2016, or around $8,000 per visitor). Integrating online payment platforms recognised by Chinese visitors into business operations provides Australian businesses significant revenue yield opportunities and options better aligned to customer expectations. ONLINE PAYMENT PLATFORMS Also known as a digital wallet or e-wallet, these platforms are linked to a bank account, where transactions are processed without the use of a bank card i.e. similar to the way PayPal works. Online payment platforms can be used for purchases online or in-person. How an online payment platform works: Using a payment platform app, the customer generates a one- time QR code on their smartphone. The merchant uses a small device to scan the QR code given by the customer to process payment for the purchase of goods or services. In Australia, funds are in the merchant’s account within two business days after the date of transaction.

Our product, Transakt, lies at the center of all of our solutions. Transakt uses industry-standard digital certificates to deliver the strongest possible device identification. These can be combined with a PIN, password, or fingerprint scan to identify the user and enable easy yet secure access to your mobile banking app. Transakt also creates a secure communication channel between your financial institution and your customers’ mobile devices. This enables you to send real-time requests to your users to authenticate sensitive transactions. Their responses are digitally signed, supporting nonre- pudiation, then encrypted and returned.

  • Mobile Payments
    Mobile Payments - A study of the emerging payments ecosystem and its inhabitants while building a business case. By: Cherian Abraham Principal Analyst – Mobile Commerce & Payments Practice / Co-Founder - DROP Labs Twitter @ http://twitter.com/cherian abraham LinkedIn @ http://www.linkedin.com/in/cherianabraham For more information on this study and associated research, contact me at EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The advent of the ubiquitous smart phone has along with it brought dramatic shifts in customer behavior and payment modalities. Banks are finding themselves in an unenviable position of choosing to wait until a secure and safe standard emerges for "Digital", or take the plunge in to these murky payment waters. There is a battle waging for the customer mind-share and emerging revenue streams, between traditional and non-traditional players - who are ever more emboldened by advances in technology and disappearing barriers to entry. The objective of this study is to build a business case for banks evaluating the opportunities and challenges present in building out mobile payment solutions, including direct and indirect revenue generation. This study paints a roadmap of current mobile payment initiatives undertaken by Financial institutions, MNO's and technology upstarts, and to highlight the risks of building payment solutions which are not centered on the payment context. This study summarizes the challenges ahead for mobile payments, including a lack of interoperability, consumer apathy and a general lack of understanding of its merits. It is targeted at financial institutions that may be making first steps, by building out their own mobile wallet initiatives or partnering with others, and seeks clarity.
