ABI Research to Host “Mobile Money Opportunities in Emerging Markets” Webinar

Personal financial services are a necessity for nearly every adult in the world, yet in emerging markets, financial infrastructure rarely stretches out beyond major urban centers.

“As of the end of 2008, there were 3.8 billion mobile subscribers worldwide, making mobile technology the most widely spread infrastructure in the world,” says ABI Research senior analyst Mark Beccue. “Thousands of villages across the developing world may lack widespread indoor plumbing and electricity, but many have mobile communications and the infrastructure to support them. A new breed of service providers is leveraging mobile communications to provide three key personal financial services – person-to-person payments, international remittances and mobile top-up – in emerging markets.”

These initiatives for emerging markets have the potential to speed unprecedented fundamental economic change, making life better for millions of individuals.
