Publisher: Innopay Editors: Chiel Liezenberg and Douwe Lycklama (Innopay) Authors: Jeroen de Bel (Innopay) and Monica Gâza (The Paypers) Edition Version 1.0 1 September 2011 ISBN: 978-94-90587-00-0 Copyright © Innopay BV All rights reserved 3 Preface You are reading the report ‘Mobile payments 2012 – My mobile, my wallet?’ that provides an overview of the current affairs in mobile payment, both on a global and regional level. While the earlier editions ‘Mobile payments 2008’ and ‘Mobile payments 2010’ included an extensive list of regional mobile payment initiatives, this year’s version is based on a new approach. ‘Mobile payments 2012’ follows the structure of our latest ‘Online payments 2011’ report and consists of both general developments and specific regional developments. The list of initiatives will be included in a separate, new publication by The Paypers to be published next year. This report consists of two parts. Part 1 presents the general, global developments in mobile payments, including the rise of smartphones and apps as a driver for mobile payments and the high attention given to NFC. Part 2 elaborates on the developments in various regions of the world. This part also includes case studies on the Cityzi NFC initiative in Nice, France, on mobile PoS solution Square, on Telefónica & MasterCard in Latin America, and on the activities of Orange in Africa. The report is intended for everyone active in the ‘transaction services industry’, including merchants, banks, payment service providers, risk service providers, scheme organisations and policy makers. With this report we hope to provide a clear insight into the global mobile payments industry. All details concerning mobile payment methods, specific payment products and payment service providers are based on information that was publicly available at the moment this report was written. Although we do not claim to provide a complete description of the market, we do feel that we present an overview of the main and relevant developments. Finally, this report has been written with the utmost care. If you feel that, despite our efforts, it contains information that is unclear or find certain information to be missing, we appreciate it if you could let us know.

Amsterdam, September 2011 Chiel Liezenberg – Founding Partner Innopay Douwe Lycklama – Founding Partner Innopay 4 Innopay on mobile payments Innopay is an independent full service consultancy firm specialised in payments and related transaction services. It is our vision that: — Globalisation increasingly leads to a network economy and electronic infrastructures enable industries to cooperate in networks, in real-time. — (Mobile) Internet is developing into true transaction channel, creating new transaction contexts. New contexts require new transaction services and new options emerge in existing contexts. — Transaction services are part of two-sided markets, with sophisticated network effects. Development of successful transaction services requires thorough understanding of the context. Development is complex and costly and asks for specialist expertise and a specific approach. Innopay has been active in mobile payment since 1999. Several of our senior consultants have experienced the rise and fall of the first wave of mobile payment initiatives and the current upcoming second wave first hand. We have come to recognise that mobile payments are greatly dependent on the economic, regulatory and cultural context. The European marketplace is very different from that in developing countries. Where in the EU there is a strong focus on NFC technology and key issues include the business case, interoperability and positioning, in developing countries the focus is on remittance and money transfer solutions and associated regulation, funding and risks. Based on our experience we have created the ‘Innopay Transaction Context Model’ to better understand the success factors for mobile payment services development. Our services address three domains: — Help you as a professional or regulator to ‘structure & understand’ the mobile payment services industry. — Help you as a provider to ‘develop & manage’ mobile payment business, services and products. — Help you as a corporation to ‘choose & use’ mobile payment solutions. 5 Mobile payments 2012 - Innopay on mobile payments Some of our references cases include: — Market analysis on introducing mobile payments in a developing nation for a leading bank. — Business development in using NFC stickers as contactless payment method. — Development and piloting of a mobile micro payments solution for a large multinational bank. — Product development of an SMS payment solution for a large international bank. — Product development and prototyping of a voice recognition mobile payment method for a large international bank. Innopay is a member of the European Payments Consulting Association (EPCA) and an associate member of the Euro Banking Association (EBA). Innopay was a also member of the former Payment Systems Market Expert Group (PSMEG) of the European Commission. Innopay’s other key practices include: online payments, e-invoicing, e-identity, cards and related regulation.

  • Mobile Banking Services
    MOBILE BANKING SERVICES Mobile banking is a system that allows customers of a financial institution to conduct a number of financial transactions through a mobile device such as a mobile phone or personal digital assistant. Mobile banking refers to the use of a smartphone or other cellular device to perform online bankingtasks while away from your home computer, such as monitoring account balances, transferring fundsbetween accounts, bill payment and locating an ATM. Mobile banking differs from mobile payments, which involve the use of a mobile device to pay for goods or services either at the point of sale or remotely, [1] analogously to the use of a debit or credit card to effect an EFTPOS payment. The earliest mobile banking services were offered over SMS, a service known as SMS banking. With the introduction of smart phoneswith WAP support enabling the use of the mobile web in 1999, the first European banks started to offer mobile banking on this platform to their customers.[2] Mobile banking has until recently (2010) most often been performed via SMS or the mobile web. Apple's initial success with iPhoneand the rapid growth of phones based on Google's Android (operating system) have led to increasing use of special client programs, called apps, downloaded to the mobile device. With that said, advancements in web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3 andJavaScript have seen more banks launching mobile web based services to complement native applications. A recent study (May 2012) by Mapa Research suggests that over a third of banks[3] have mobile device detection upon visiting the banks' main website.

  • Mobile Money As an Effective Financial Tool in Underdeveloped Countries
    Journal of Islamic Finance Vol.10 No.1 (2021) 25-35 IIUM Institute of Islamic Banking and Finance ISSN 2289-2117 (O) / 2289-2109 (P) Mobile Money as an Effective Financial Tool in Underdeveloped Countries Mohamed Al Amine Sano Institute of Islamic Banking and Finance, International Islamic University Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Email: [email protected] Abstract The available literature has shown that a lot of people in underdeveloped countries do not fulfill the criteria needed to benefit from banking facilities. As a result, the lower segment of these societies has been deprived of basic financial services and left with vulnerable traditional methods of saving and transacting using funds. Fortunately, innovative ideas like mobile money were introduced in the first decade of the 21st century, allowing people in poor countries to access essential financial services and conduct basic transactions in a more advanced and secure manner. This study thus aims to establish mobile money as an effective and Shariah-complaint substitute for banking services particularly in underdeveloped countries. It would do so through the qualitative research method of analysing the relevant materials on the subject matter i.e. books, journal articles, research papers, websites, etc. The study has found that although the presence of mobile money has brought about various benefits to underdeveloped communities, issues that are regulatory, service, or security-related have impeded the service from realizing its true potential. Nonetheless, the study has shown that these issues may be countered by introducing the right measures, which include regulatory reformations, service enhancements, and awareness-building. Such measures would empower members of underprivileged communities and integrate them into the financial industry, which in turn would greatly contribute to their countries’ socio-economic welfare.

  • A Comparison of the Mobile Financial Services Sector in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda
    A Comparison of the Mobile Financial Services Sector in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda The 3rd Annual Competition and Economic Regulation (ACER) Conference Dar es Salaam, Tanzania 14 – 15 July 2017 DRAFT NOT FOR CITATION Anthea Paelo [email protected] Centre for Competition, Regulation and Economic Development (CCRED) Mobile money has been a fast growing phenomenon in developing countries around the world but particularly in East Africa. The East African countries of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania have shown remarkable growth and are three of the 16 countries globally where mobile money accounts outnumber bank accounts. The sector has now evolved to provide mobile financial services such as savings, loans and even insurance, providing greater opportunities for increased financial inclusion. Studies have shown that in countries where there has been successful penetration of mobile money services, there has been an increase in financial inclusion. However, the level of evolution and uptake has varied by country. Kenya has taken the lead in terms of uptake and more competitive pricing while Uganda lags behind in terms of available financial services. Tanzania for its part is the first of the East African countries to implement interoperability between mobile money operators. Using a case study approach, this study provides comparisons of the mobile money markets in each of the three countries, including a profile of the sector and a discussion on how this might have affected prices, variety of available services and levels of adoption. It will examine how the existing structures of the markets and regulation may have influenced the pricing, uptake and availability uptake of mobile financial services.

The empirical research question is to find out what is the state of development of the mobile money services, especially mobile payments, in Africa compared to other regions of the world. Nowadays, the mobile money services, including mobile payments, are developing very fast in Africa, comparing not only to other developing countries but also developed ones. The potential of mobile money services to bring access to financial services is observed in the developing world. The key findings show that in Africa the growing number of mobile money services, inclu- ding mobile payments, can be seen. It is important to say that Africa is in the centre of high development in the area of mobile payments, due to numerous reasons, e.g. the growing use of mobile phones.
