The explosive growth of mobile phones offers an opportunity to extend banking and other services to millions of “unbanked” and un-served. More than 60 per cent of the world’s three billion mobile users
live in developing countries and hundreds of millions of them do not have access to banking and other services. Conducting transactions with a mobile phone is often much cheaper than processing the same transaction at a bank, if a bank is even available. A recent report commissioned by the Information for Development Program finds that the use of mobile communications in developing countries has the potential to bring a range of financial services to previously excluded groups. Mobile-enabled financial services, or m-Banking, can address a major service gap in developing countries that is critical to social and economic development. There is a win-win situation for every stakeholder.

For operators: an increase in SMS revenues and a drop in customer churn.

For retailers: added business opportunities through the sale of prepaid account credits.
For micro-finance institutions: the ability to advance funds into remote areas and have regular repayments that do not inconvenience the user.
For service industries and utilities: the ability to get payments electronically from a significant portion of the population
