This new service which is a new payment solution has emerged as part of mobile commerce. Thus, this study aims at examining the factors influencing customers’ adoption of Mobile Money Transfer Services in Somaliland. Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with two extra constructs were used to form the theoretical framework of the study. Therefore, the model comprises of four independent variables; Perceived Ease of Use, Perceived usefulness, Perceived Trust and Perceived Risk, and one dependent variable; Behavioral Intention to use and adopt the Mobile Money Transfer Service in Somaliland. The population of the research comprised of Somaliland citizens who reside in the country and use the service. The study used simple random sampling technique to select the participants. Out of 384 questionnaire that were distributed, 201 valid responses were received. Apparently, the research involved Telesom Telecommunication company customers who use Mobile Money Transfer services in Somaliland which is known as Zaad Service. In analysing the data collected, various statistical methods and techniques were used. Such tools are; the use of descriptive analysis in analysing respondents profile, multiple regression analysis for measuring relationships between variables, T-test for testing the influence of gender on relationships and ANOVA for testing the influence of different age groups on relationships. The results show that Perceived Ease of Use, Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Trust has positive significant influence on Behavioral Intention of customer’s use and adoption the service while Perceived Risk did not have any significant influence. The extended model explained 75 percent of consumer’s intention to use and adopt Mobile Money Transfer Service.

  • Financial Technology Sector Overview of Market Activity in the Financial Technology Sector William Blair & Company
    Quarterly Update Q1 2015 Financial Technology Sector Overview of Market Activity in the Financial Technology Sector William Blair & Company Financial Technology Sector – First Quarter 2015 Update M&A and capital markets activity remained strong during the first quarter of 2015, particularly in the United States. In fact, U.S. stock indices marked all-time highs during the quarter and deal-making activity continued its upward trajectory, propelled by improving confidence among consumers and corporate executives, low-cost credit, and record levels of cash. While market participants largely ignored the prospect of rising interest rates, a collapsing energy sector, global currency concerns, and continued economic uncertainty abroad, this could be an area of concern moving into the second quarter of 2015. One of the most prominent storylines within the financial technology sector in the first quarter was the escalating bets made on payments solutions by the likes of tech giants Apple, Google, and Samsung. The release of Apple Pay unilaterally raised the stakes across the industry and was a catalyst for a wave of high-profile announcements, including Samsung’s acquisition of LoopPay, Google’s acquisition of Softcard, and PayPal’s acquisition of Paydiant. Traditional payments providers are thus being further pressured to accelerate innovation and expand international reach, which has in turn refocused corporate strategies away from building domestic scale and vertical plays toward acquiring differentiated, earlier-stage, technology platforms with global capabilities. Global’s acquisition of Realex, Worldpay’s acquisition of SecureNet, and MasterCard’s acquisition of TNS’s gateway are recent examples of this trend, which we believe will be a significant driver of sector M&A activity going forward.

  • Migrant Remittances: Alternative Money Transfer Channels
    Institute for International Political Economy Berlin Migrant Remittances: Alternative Money Transfer Channels Authors: Martina Metzger, Tim Riedler, Jennifer Pédussel Wu Working Paper, No. 127/2020 Editors: Sigrid Betzelt, Eckhard Hein (lead editor), Martina Metzger, Martina Sproll, Christina Teipen, Markus Wissen, Jennifer Pédussel Wu, Reingard Zimmer Migrant Remittances: Alternative Money Transfer Channels Martina Metzger ([email protected]), Professor of Monetary Economics, Berlin School of Economics and Law, Institute for International Political Economy Berlin (IPE) Tim Riedler ([email protected]), HTW University of Applied Sciences Berlin Jennifer Pédussel Wu ([email protected]), Professor of International Trade and Production, Berlin School of Economics and Law, Institute for International Political Economy Berlin (IPE) Abstract This paper first explores the role of digital financial services, e.g. mobile money systems and cryptocurrency-based systems, and their impact on the choice of migrants to send remittances. Secondly we discuss whether alternative remittances sending channels increase access to financial services for remittance-sending and remittance-receiving households. Africa, and in particularly Kenya, are pioneers in alternative money transfer systems and of tailor-made regulatory initiatives to address digital financial services. Thus, our paper focuses on the technologies of the Kenyan mobile money system, M-Pesa, and the major cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, and based on that takes into account selected experiences of other Sub-Saharan African countries. We find that in comparison to traditional remittances sending channels, mobile money transfer channels are often superior in terms of service-related features as costs of transfers for sending and receiving households, speed of delivery, availability and access to the remittances by receiving households or security of transactions.
