Introduction The role of mobile phones for banking and
transactions came out of a 6 country study on ICTtrade and economic growth commissioned by ECAunder the epol-net initiative.
M-Banking was flagged in some countries as a wayfor the poor to use ICTs in their economicendeavours.
Given the explosion of mobile telephony across thecontinent, this became an important area of studyfor the ECA, particularly with respect to getting a
sense of the kind of policy requirements needed tosustain this phenomenan. The about to be published report focuses on the
emergence, status and the future of m-commerceincluding mobile phone enabled banking. It drawstogether three country studies of Senegal, Kenyaand South Africa.

A mobile phone based banking solution would cover atleast 60% of those currently without bank accounts.Such a service would be used for storing cash securelyand for making money transferspeople currently carrycash, use the post office services, and make use ofairtime transfers. 15 to 20% rural households receive
money from members living elsewhere An international remittances service would benefit a
relatively small number of people but would bring insignificant economic support. 15 to 20%% urbanhouseholds receive international remittances. Africareceives $40 BILLION a year in internationalremittances.
Banking the unbanked: With 11 million Kenyans havingaccess to a mobile phone, and only approximately 4.5million banked, the new solution offers an avenue topush forward the access frontier in Kenya. This effortwill bring more Kenyans into banking solutions. atlaunch of Equity Mobile Banking Sept 2008, Prof..Njuguna Ndungu Governor Central Bank of Kenya

Where 2 nxt?
As always on
becomes
increasingly popularwe can move awayfrom SMS.
Always on will
become broader andbroader.
Near Field Communication technology is a key part of the future mobile phoneenabled payment landscape. Nokia estimate that by 2012, 30% of allphones will have NFC built in.
While NFC may seem to demand new infrastructure, it has many peer to peercapabilities, and requires less literacy than current USSD menu basedpropositions..

Regulatory issues
Inclusion - Regulatory and policy prompts so that commercial
propositions reach financial services to the poor
Branchless Banking and Agents; tied to the above, is the need for
agents to act on behalf of the institution to cash in and cash out. Customer protection including regulating deposits, and tracking
financial transactions
Additional barriers, some of which relate simply to mobile
communications
high cost of calls, and IP and SMS services in particular;
revenue sharing for value added services balance in favourof operators tends to inhibit content development;
legal framework (and enforcement) need to refine lawsrelated to intellectual property
