Definition of the mobile wallet • A Mobile Wallet is a wallet for the 21st century. It represents functionality on a mobile device that can securely interact with digitized valuables. • Above all, Mobey Forum strongly believes in and promotes the concept of the mobile wallet as an open platform rather than a system limited to the provider’s partnerships. • Parallels: calendar and email capabilities. When the mobile wallet is an open platform, the ultimate decision on opting for and managing services rests with the user. • From a branding point of view, the wallet could very well be white-labelled, and the choice left to the user as to what services and brands the user connects to this. Branded services and goods exist within the wallet, not on top of the wallet.
