The basic underlying current that runs through this changing landscape is the ever increasing reliance on technology to cater to the needs of customers and process vast number of transactions including payment transactions. In fact as you all are aware, payment and settlement systems form the backbone of any economy. They are the conduits or the arteries for conducting trade, commerce and other forms of economic activities including remittances in any country.

    Mitigating emerging fraud risks in the mobile money industryEngaging title in Green August 2015 Descriptive element in Blue 2 lines if needed Second line optional lorem ipsum B Subhead lorem ipsum, date quatueriure Introduction The growth of the mobile subscriber base in India, currently over 980 million subscriber1, has enabled the provision of communication, entertainment and information based services via mobile applications to subscribers. Mobile applications are increasingly paving the way for organizations in sectors such as public utilities and government organizations (m-governance), financial institutions (m-commerce), health care organizations (m-health), to deliver reliable services to a large audience without the need to physically visit a local office. A report by ASSOCHAM and Deloitte released in 2015 indicated that mobile applications downloads in India have grown by 75 percent (CAGR) in the last three years, perhaps accompanied by the growth of smartphone penetration in India2. It is also observed that the fastest growing categories in mobile application development are social networking, e/m-commerce, gaming and entertainment. E-commerce players for instance have realized the ability to better target customers on a mobile platform and leading ecommerce companies today derive a large proportion of their sales from mobile applications. All leading banks in in India have their own mobile applications that customers can use to transact. Around 17million3 Indians already use mobile banking. Considering that mobile penetration today covers around 73 percent4 of India’s population it is an incentive for banks to leverage mobile banking services as part of the financial inclusion agenda and reach out to around 41 percent5 of India’s households that remain unbanked, yet can access mobile applications.

  • Factors Influencing Consumer Trust in Mobile Payments in the United Arab Emirates
    Factors Influencing Consumer Trust in Mobile Payments in the United Arab Emirates By Ahmed Shuhaiber A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Information Systems Victoria University of Wellington 2016 I Abstract While mobile payments have been adopted by a huge number of businesses, the body of knowledge regarding user trust in mobile payments shows that trust is a major issue in its adoption and development. The purpose of this study was to better understand the factors that influence consumer trust in mobile payments in one significant country in this region; The United Arab Emirates (UAE) as the research region. The UAE is one of the leading economies in the Middle East Arab region, and mobile technology is well advanced and widely utilised. An analysis of relevant literature provided the basis for the development of a conceptual model. The model, classified into five logical groups (consumer characteristics, environmental influences, provider characteristics, perceived risks and mobile-device characteristics), was further explored, validated, extended and tested through a mixed- method methodology, combining both qualitative (phase one) and quantitative (phase two) approaches, with semi-structured interviewing in exploratory focus groups and an online survey being used respectively The findings of the qualitative phase were used to clarify the appropriateness of the preliminary Consumer Trust in Mobile Payments (CTMP) model, which was accordingly revised and extended. The second phase (the quantitative approach) was based on a survey of 340 respondents in the UAE. The collected data were analysed by using Structural Equation Modelling with the Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM) approach.

  • Technology in Banking Insight and Foresight
    Technology in Banking Insight and Foresight Institute for Development and Research in Banking Technology (Established by Reserve Bank of India) Foreword The Indian banking industry, almost in keeping with the deep entrepreneurial approach of the country’s business, has come a long way. This report is an effort to capture some exemplary initiatives and developments so far as well as discuss the emerging trends. The insights and understanding of the technology trends and ground-level work being done by the banks has been culled from the nominations received from banks for the IDRBT Banking Technology Excellence Awards 2010. The transformation of Indian banks in the last decade has been phenomenal — from local branch banking to global presence and anywhere-anytime banking. Most of the regular banking transactions can today be carried out from mobile phones. Sustained reforms and information technology (IT) have played a pivotal role since the initiation of the second phase of reforms post 1998. The benefits of technology such as scale, speed and low error rate are also reflecting in the performance, productivity and profitability of banks, which have improved tremendously in the past decade. Regulatory initiatives from the Central Bank have also played a large role in the banking sector. Robust technology-enabled organizations have now become the mainstay of the industry. Initiatives such as electronic clearing service (ECS), national electronic funds transfer (NEFT), real-time gross settlement (RTGS) have accelerated the pace of technology adoption by banks and enabled interconnectivity between banks. While the focus in the early stages was on technology adoption and aligning/retraining human capital, now with more or less suitable technology infrastructure in place and a young technology-adept workforce, banks are focusing on improving the performance and optimum utilization of IT systems.

  • Cash, Digital Payments and Accessibility - a Case Study from India
    97 Cash, Digital Payments and Accessibility - A Case Study from India VAISHNAV KAMESWARAN, University of Michigan, USA SRIHARI HULIKAL MURALIDHAR, Aarhus University, Denmark Despite the growing interest in digitization and money in HCI and CSCW, the use of cash and digital payments by people with disabilities has received scant attention. We present findings from a qualitative study of people with visual impairments’ use of cash and digital payments in metropolitan India. Using ride-hailing services as an exemplar, we find that both cash and digital payments were inaccessible to participants. WeusePerry and Ferreira’s "moneywork" as a theoretical framework to highlight the "added" work necessitated by this inaccessibility; that is, the work done in addition to the interactional work necessary to complete financial transactions. We argue that this "added" work is instrumental in "making" payments accessible. We discuss how ride-hailing platforms mediated collaborations between drivers and riders in relation to payments, while still making "moneywork" essential. We provide recommendations to improve the accessibility of digital payments to facilitate greater economic inclusion. CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Empirical studies in accessibility.
