Payment or Banking?

April 30, 2007

Mobile Payments Gain Energy | www.wirelessweek.com

When you look at payments where we are currently seeing success is in the expansion of banking rather than a substitution of credit cards. The rules for Money Laundering make mass adoption of mobile payments very difficult to roll out the services.

Internationally the big area is in remittances, these services mean that Western Union is challenged and the size and frequency of payments increase.
