December
10th Accra Tech Salon - RSVP
Now!
The most recent World Bank Report shows that
approximately two billion people are globally “unbanked”, with the majority of
this number being located in developing countries and emerging markets. Two
billion people lacking formal financial services provides the mobile money
industry opportunity to take advantage of this and provide these individuals
with these services, along with converting this informal economy into a formal
contributor of GDP in numerous countries.
The advent of technology as well as the widespread use of mobile
phones have led to an increase in the use of Mobile Money Services. Mobile
payment solutions have been deployed as a means of extending financial services
to the “unbanked” or “underbanked” communities, mostly the rural; providing people
with a quick and easy medium to transfer and receive funds. Today, Mobile Money
Service is provided by all the leading mobile networks in Ghana.
Please RSVP now to
join companies, social enterprises, entrepreneurs and individuals from across Ghana
and within the payments industry to interact and share perspectives on the
State of the mobile payment industry in Africa and Ghana - the dynamics of this
system, key questions and issues surrounding its operation, prospects and
challenges.
Areas to be explored:
Ø Cash Recycling and Liquidity - How technology can help
Ø What makes Mobile Money a unique service
Ø Main features of Mobile Money platforms - Safety,
functionality and technical
Ø Challenges in Mobile Money Service
Ø What can be done to improve on Mobile Money Service
