Mobile Remittance 2010 Including trends in Mobile Banking Market Research Report
The world's banking and financial retail infrastructure is characterised by two scenarios. One scenario is played out in some regions that have a saturated banking industry where the nature of business and society leaves no time for people to conduct transactions in a bank's premises. In other regions physical bank sites are few and far between. Mobile money transactions allows financial operations to be conducted under both scenarios.Whether mobile remittance or mobile banking, the necessity of access to banking and transactions solutions is available immediately and securely. Is this a disruptive innovation for banks or a new opportunity for mobile operator to work together effectively with the financial industry. Who should take the lead in capitalising on the new opportunities? While banks have combined with mobile operators to provide mobile money transaction services, some mobile operators function alone.
This report presents an analysis of global remittances. This includes the macroeconomic impact of regulations, the trends in global remittances and the factors affecting global remittances. Studies have been conducted on the major remittance corridors and major remittance markets. The report analyses the mobile remittance market, beginning with the necessities of deploying a mobile money transaction service which is becoming a dominant force both for international and domestic remittance; with several case studies scrutinised. The technological aspect of mobile remittance is also comprehensively studied with several evolving business models and service models analysed.
To assess the future of the mobile remittance market, factors have been identified which are necessary for mobile remittance to flourish. To understand the forces of competition in a local mobile remittance market, Porter's five forces model has been used. In the end, a selection of forecasts has been drawn to help decision makers in devising strategies.
To understand the greater implications of mobile money transaction services, a study of mobile banking has been included in the latter stages of the report. The technological models behind mobile banking, alongside the macroeconomic and industry effects have been considered in the analysis.
This report provides a comprehensive insight into the mobile money transaction industry which in some ways will be an eye opener for the banking industry in general where mobiles are replacing physical in-situ banking services in an increasingly feasible and sustainable way.
