But without a doubt, the future is mobile…
In South Africa:
• Mobile phone penetration is measured at
greater than 100%
• More users access the net through their
mobile device than traditional desktops
• More digital goods are bought on mobile
phones than physical goods
• But…The rate of growth of “real world”
products is rising at a faster rate than that
of digital products
• As smartphone penetration increases,
payment capabilities and user
experience will increase the sale of
physical product through mobile

Mobile payments will represent US$ 617bn by 2016…partially new
money, but largely disintermediation of current bank revenues
Gartner indicates 52
payments based innovations
across the Hype Cycle, while
the whole of Banking and
Investment services together
reflect only 33!
