In 2012 we introduced a new format for the ‘Mobile payments’ report, with an overview of the global developments and chapters specifically aimed at covering regional trends. This year we tweaked the format to give, in the first part, an overview of the developments we see in Developed and Emerging markets; while the second part is still centred on the developments in the different regions. Though many things have changed last year, some of the identified trends and technologies in our previous report have not. Therefore some of the content might look familiar. We have also chosen to use the same analytical context framework since it has proven to be still valid and insightful. We believe all professionals active in the payments and transaction services industry can benefit from reading this document, including people employed at banks, policy makers, payment schemes organizations and payment service providers. This report, as every other publication by Innopay, is strictly independent and aims to give a comprehensive and unbiased overview of the market and its participants. For this reason we based our analysis on information available publicly at the moment of writing the document. This report has been written with the highest degree of care. In case you, despite our efforts, happen to find information which you deem unclear or perhaps not 100% correct, we appreciate your feedback. If you have any suggestion or questions regarding the text, please don’t hesitate to email us at [email protected] We hope you will enjoy reading this report and that you would be able to learn new aspects of this interesting area of transaction services. Amsterdam, March 2013 Chiel Liezenberg – Founding Partner Shikko Nijland – Managing Partner 3 Innopay consulting Innopay is an independent full service consultancy firm specialised in payments and related transaction services such as e-identity and e-business. It is our vision that: Globalization 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. Innopay has been active in mobile payment since 1999. Several of our consultants have experienced the rise and fall of the first wave of mobile payment initiatives and the current upcoming second wave first hand. Based on our experience we have created the ‘Innopay Transaction Context Model’ to better understand the success factors for mobile payment services development. Our consultancy 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. Innopay’s other key consultancy practices include: online payments, e-invoicing, e-identity, cards and related regulation.
