Mobile brought the power of communications to billions of people who were previously underserved. Now, it is time for the same community, with some additional partners, to bring the power of financial services to billions. Mobile is the platform that creates a breakthrough in financial services. Lowers costs, expands distribution, opens up whole new models for banking.This is a BIG opportunity, but at the end of the day, it is really all people. Empowering their life and work. There is a big change – and it has started. Now 18 million Africans have mobile banking, and it is growing by 35K a day.

(Source: WORLD BANK remittance pricing)In general terms, it is more expensive to send remittances through commercial banks. The global average total cost for sending remittances through commercial banks was 12.38 percent in Q1 2010. On average, Post Offices and Money Transfer Organizations (MTOs) were the cheapest at 6.72 and 7.09 percent respectively – One of the main reasons for the significant variation in the cost structure is because commercial banks in most countries have not established specialized services for person to person migrant remittances. They have been handling mostly trade related cross border payments and have not adequately adapted the available infrastructure for migrant remittances servicesIn countries like the Philippines, Pakistan and India, where commercial banks have established specialized services for remittances, the cost of remittances is even lower than MTOs.RSP = Remittance Sending Point

Options:1. CARD: the recipient’s card is credited with the funds transferred by the sender using an Mobile Payment solution. The recipient then uses the card to withdraw funds from an ATM. The card could be prepaid, credit or debit depending on the payment processors linked to this facility.2. CARDLESS: An authorization code is used to withdraw money from an ATMTo facilitate MMT via ATMs: card-less optionSender uses MMT to send money to Recipient’s mobilized account (prepaid /debit) & Recipient uses his Mobile app, as demonstrated here, to withdraw those funds from an ATMOR sender initiates a cash withdrawal, and sends the authorization code to the recipient, who must be in a supported geography.
