Mobile Payments 2013 Changing Checkout Mobile payments 2013 Changing checkout 1 Mobile payments 2013 Changing checkout Publisher: Innopay BV Editors: Chiel Liezenberg and Shikko Nijland (Innopay) Authors: Alessandro Longoni (Innopay) and Monica Gâza (The Paypers) Edition Version 1.0 March 2013 ISBN 978-94-90587-09-3 Copyright © Innopay BV All rights reserved 2 Preface Innopay presents the new edition of the ‘Mobile payments 2013 – Changing checkout’, which aims to provide an overview of the main developments in the area of mobile payments worldwide. 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.

  • Banking, Electronic Payments and Road Ahead
    H R Khan: Banking, electronic payments and road ahead Special address by Shri H R Khan, Deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, at the FICCI-IBA (Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry – Indian Banks’ Association) Conference on “Global Banking: Paradigm Shift”, Mumbai, 25 August 2011. * * * The speaker gratefully acknowledges the assistance provided by Shri. G. Srinivas, General Manager and Shri. Saswat Mahapatra, Asst. General Manager in the preparation of this address. Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen I am glad to be in your midst today to share my thoughts on “Banking, electronic payments and the road ahead”. In fact the subject of my address very well fits the theme of the conference “Global banking: Paradigm shift” and its emphasis on productivity excellence. I am sure the experts whom you would have heard and interacted with over the last two days would have shared their thoughts on the changes and challenges that banking in India and globally is undergoing and has undergone over these last few momentous years, leading as it were to a paradigm shift in the way banks are doing their business and retaining and increasing their customer base. 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.

The share of services has been consistently rising; more so since 2004-05. The biggest drivers of the service sector expansion since 2004-05 were banking and communications sectors, the two growth engines of India. Robust growth in these sectors drove the expansion of the services sector even during the global financial crisis as Indian economy witnessed a sharp economic turnaround. Both these sectors are expected to play a pivotal role in India’s growth as Banking provides the required capital and communication forms the infrastructure. Growth of various sector in Indian Economy The unprecedented economic recovery can only be achieved by a non-linear adoption of technology by the banks, delivery agents and the customers themselves. In the recent past, ‘Technology’, has been a key enabler for financial services industry to further the penetration in unbanked and under-banked regions. Key benefits of technology led models for financial inclusion include: Enhanced Reach: New technologies including

  • 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.

The rise of the app economy and the ubiquity of smart mobile devices create great opportuni- ties for users and for companies that can leverage global scale solutions and systems. Technology design deployed by online service providers in particular often reduces transaction costs while allowing for increasing econo- mies of scale. The outlook for both network operators and online service providers is bright as they benefit from the virtuous cycle − as the ICT sector outgrows all others, innovation continues to power ahead creating more op- portunities for growth.

  • Engaging Title in Green Descriptive Element in Blue 2 Lines If Needed
    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.
