Commitment of Bank Management\nDevelopment of Mobile Money Ecosystem\nSufficient Cash-In/Cash-Out Agents/Resellers\nCreating Awareness of the use of Mobile Money\nPromote the value proposition for businesses, clients, and customers\n\n
In terms of trends that are relevant, there is quite a bit of focus now on viral marketing with a focus on influencers and ensuring that mobile money meets real market needs. The Philippines leads in the trend of using mobile money to support payroll and Government to Person payments and we expect this to continue and to expand in the coming year. Another interesting trend of banks offering mobile money is to offered tiered fee structure that encourages clients to become bank clients by reducing fees or even providing a certain number of “free” mobile money transfers each month for clients that maintain a bank account. \n
Integration and Use of Social Networks to Promote Mobile Financial Services\n

I JUST CAME BACK FROM ATTENDING THE GSMA MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS WITH OVER 67,000 PARTICIPANTS. BY FAR, THE LARGEST CONFERENCE I HAVE ATTENDED AND I WAS IMPRESSED TO SEE THE PROGRESS OF THE INDUSTRY AND THE APPLICATIONS THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON FOR ALL BANKS AND ALL PEOPLE. AS THE PRICE OF SMARTPHONES NOW FALL UNDER 5,000, WE SOON EXPECT TO SEE IN THE PHILIPPINES, PHP 2,000 ANDROID PHONES AND PHP 3,000-4,000 ANDROID TABLETS THAT WILL REVOLUNTIONIZE ACCESS TO BANKING SERVICES, PAYMENTS, AND COMMERCE. PHONES AND CHEAP TABLETS ARE BECOMING AND WILL REPLACE TRADITIONAL POINT OF SALE SYSTEMS. APPS WILL SOON BE WITHIN THE REACH OF MOST PEOPLE AND BANKS WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE USE OF THESE. I NOW DO MORE THAN FIVE TIMES AS MANY BANKING TRANSACTIONS THAN I DO ON A COMPUTER AND ALMOST NEVER GO INTO A BRANCH ANYMORE. SMART MONEY HAS A ANDROID APP AND THE NEW GCASH IPHONE/BLACKBERRY/ANDROID APP WILL MAKE USING MOBILE MONEY EASIER THAN EVER. THE NEW IPHONE APP WILL ALLOW ANY CLIENT TO SEND MONEY OR MAKE A PAYMENT TO ANYONE IN THEIR OWN CONTACT LIST OR EVEN VIA FACEBOOK. BANKS THAT HAVE A FACEBOOK SITE CAN ALSO MAKE USE OF THIS IN ACCEPTING PAYMENTS, REVOLUTIONIZING BANKING SERVICES BY RIDING ON THE INCREASING WAVE OF APPLICATIONS THAT EVERYDAY PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO USE ON THEIR HANDSETS. IN FACT STARTING LAST MONTH, I HAVE NOW MADE THE SWITCH TO USING MY MOBILE PHONE MORE THAN GOING TO A COMPUTER OR EVEN A BANK BRANCH TO DO MY BANKING MOSTLY DUE TO THE NEW APPLICATIONS THAT MAKE IT EASIER FOR ME TO USE MY PHONE TO APPROVE BANKING TRANSACTIONS.\n
