years here figuring out how to make a with a plan? It is the
decent phone. PC guys are not going most expensive phone
to just figure this out. They’re not in the world and it
going to just walk in.” doesn’t appeal to

19. The Downside to Success
• AT&T has taken a great deal of grief for their network speed
• Verizon took advantage of the opening with an ad that plays up the
weakness of AT&T 3G
• Note: The iPhone accounts for most of the traffic usage on AT&T

30. Kenya
• Kenya has a population of 40 million people
• Kenya has 300,000 landlines
• Kenya has nearly 4 million internet subscribers
• Kenya has nearly 20 million mobile phone subscribers
• Kenya has a Per Capita income of $1,400
• Kenya has nearly 9 million mobile money users
– It is estimated that 40% of Kenyan Adults use the MPESA

Reality – Mom goes
Brochure – Send Mom to an agent to pick up
Money Anywhere the Money
32. Be an MPESA Agent
Research by: Mark Pickens, Sarah Rotman,
Ignacio Mas, Olga Morawczynski
34. The Philippines
• The Philippines has 2 successful mobile money systems
– Gcash – offered by Globe Communications
– Smart Money – offered by SMART Communications
• Like MPESA in Kenya – the Philippines relies on a network of incented
and trained agents
• Unlike Kenya – the central bank was very involved in the design and
rollout of Mobile Payments in the Philippines.
– In accordance with BSP Circular 471, which was issued in January 2005,
non-bank agents must first attain a Remittance Agent license to perform
cash in/out.
• The Philippines has been a Texting country since the advent of their
mobile phones – this Texting literacy made the transition much easier.
35. India – The RBI Weighs In
• Mobile Payment in India - Operative Guidelines for Banks
• 2.1 Only such banks which are licensed and supervised in India and
have a physical presence in India will be permitted to offer mobile
payment services to residents of India.
• 2.2 The services should be restricted to only to bank accounts/ credit
card accounts in India which are KYC/AML compliant.
• 2.3 Only Indian Rupee based services should be provided.
The RBI only took 12 pages to outline what can and can’t be done with
mobile payments in India.
36. Osaifu-Keitai (Mobile Wallet)
• Japan is the most advanced Mobile Money Market in the World !
• NTT DoCoMo drove the entire ecosystem to deliver a complete Mobile
Wallet
– Get on a train, buy a soda, pay at a store………
• It is the unique dynamics of the Japanese Market that allowed such a
complete solution to be delivered
• Even with NTT driving – it took 10 years
• 30 million users out of a subscriber base of 60 million
• Osaifu Keitai is accepted at 700,000 retail locations

40. Overseas Lessons So Far……
• Carriers offer successful services – so far no banks have been
successful
• Regulators have been both active (Philippines) and nearly invisible
(Kenya)
• Texting based services rule the day…..so far
– This is self-selecting as Smartphones have not yet proliferated in
underbanked countries.
– Except Japan
• Low ATM penetration combined with high mobile penetration
– Except Japan
• Domestic remittances is the best use case so far.

46. Tradeoffs
• Customers require Easy to • Money transfer products are
Use Services under attack from external
fraudsters
• Customers demand
convenience from their banks • Mobile is an unknown
dimension to a bank’s security
• The average bank customer is teams
NOT an 18 year old heavy
mobile user, but a 38 year old • Banks can not afford negative
light mobile user headlines in regards to mobile
payments.
Easy & Secure

47. Mobile Risk Management
• New Risk – most banks don’t have true mobile expertise, but it is
growing
• Old rules don’t always work
– Citibank required a 6 digit alphanumeric PIN as compared to
Obopay’s 4 digit PIN.
• Go Ahead – Try Alphanumeric on your non-QWERTY phone

48. Weekly Mobile Money Project Meetings
• Weekly project call had over 50 participants from INSIDE of Citibank
• To ensure compliance, the team included
– ARR – Audit Risk Review

• Two groups – legal and internal policy
– Information Security
• Two groups – Business and IT
– Financial Accounting
– Legal – 2-3 lawyers every week
– Financial Risk

50. Amazing….but True
• A carrier in Mozambique issued tokens for airtime that became
accepted as Currency because their national currency was devaluing so
quickly.
– There are other examples of airtime as currency
• Nokia says “Nokia should get a percentage of every transaction carried
on one of it’s devices.”
• The MPESA service failed in Afghanistan due to illiteracy
– No one could read the text messages
• A mobile payment service in Latin America claimed 1 million users
– 1 million registrations led to less than 30,000 users
