The Conference and Exhibition of Mobile Money Summit will be held on May 25th-26th, with invitation only events running on May 24th and 27th. The GSMA Mobile Money Team is currently developing an outstanding lineup of speakers for MMS. Topics covered at the event will include:

  • Mobile enabled-G2P
  • Security
  • Mobile Money Applications
  • Regulation
  • Financial Agents
  • New Business Models
  • Mobile Money Technology Enablers
  • Customer Behaviour Analytics
  • Visions for 2020
  • Mobile Money for Roamers
  • Fraud and Risk Management

Brief descriptions of some of these topics include:

  • Mobile Enabled-G2P: Some 158 million people are getting payments from governments today. Imagine if that flow were to be channelled through m-banking. What’s the true potential of government-to-person payments and transfers in fuelling new m-banking services?
  • Regulation: Regulatory limitations on what operators are allowed to do are having a big impact in the development of innovative mobile money services. In fact, mobile and finance are two of the most heavily regulated industries and bringing them together represents a regulatory challenge for all stakeholders.
  • Business Models: Everyone wants to know what the next M-PESA will be. Here we will be discussing more complex arrangements developing across the ecosystem. What’s the role of financial agents in spreading the reach of m-banking services? Some mobile operators are getting banking licenses in order to provide a wider range of services. How does this competition impact traditional banks?
  • Visions for 2020: Within 10 years, a younger world, the internet, emerging economies, activist governments and even crime will shape the future of mobile banking.
