GSMA Launches Mobile Money Certification Scheme
Mobile Wallets Seeing Strong Adoption
A new study from Juniper Research predicts that 2.1 billion consumers worldwide will use a mobile wallet to make a payment or send money in 2019, up 30% from the 1.6 billion in 2017.
The study claimed that while contactless card payments were far more prevalent than NFC mobile payments in many markets, leading wallets were seeking to redress the balance by enabling both online and offline options.
The researcher cited a number of wallets have augmented payments offerings with banking services in a bid to deliver a holistic financial portfolio for consumers.
Kenya’s M-PESA led the way in sub-Saharan Africa, focusing initially on P2P (Person-to-Person) money transfer services. China’s Alipay achieved critical mass as the de facto payment mechanism in the country’s burgeoning eCommerce market, although it continues to face strong challenge from Tencent’s Wexin Pay (known as WeChat Pay internationally). more>>

Worldpay’s research examined the viewpoints of 16,000 consumers across 10 global markets, including China, India, Japan and Australia in Asia Pacific, with a focus on their last mobile shopping experience and the factors contributing toward their decision to make a purchase via mobile.
The research showed 62% of Chinese consumers and 64% of Indian consumers are happy to pay more for an item, trip or service if the mobile user experience is better; far ahead of the global average of 41. Furthermore, 56% of consumers in India and 54% in China are more likely to shop on a mobile phone if sent a personalized push notification from a nearby store; far outweighing the global average of 35%. more>>
