Conclusions • Perception of Mobile Payments is different in different parts of the world. • The Developed world is moving towards NFC enabled contact less Mobile Payments, with industry consortia (GSMA, Mobey Forum) advocating replacement of SIM with multi application UICC to support NFC. • Cross-border payment services like SEMOPS continue to prevail as remote payment services.
Conclusions E-Money will continue to be the driver for Mobile Payments in under developed nations. Mobile Payment solutions for Financial Inclusion needs to be affordable and operationally simple to have maximum acceptance form the communities. With its mixed population, India requires different mobile payment solutions to different communities. The role of MNO is critical in implementing Financial Inclusion through mobile payments.
