Maverick China Research will serve as a Media Partner for the upcoming Mobile Money Transfer Asia-Pacific 2011 (MMT APAC 2011)conference on January 17-20 in the Philippines. For more information, please click on the banner below.

The mobile phone offers a convenient, quick, secure, low cost channel to initiate and receive money transfers. With cross border remittances, domestic transfers, airtime top-up, utility bill and school fee payment, salary disbursements and microcredit loan repayments, the potential value of new revenues and volume of new, loyal customers is phenomenal.

Asia Pacific is the fastest developing region for mobile payments innovation. In 2013 there will be nearly half a billion customers of mobile money using services such as domestic money transfers, m-banking, and international remittances. In 2015 there will be 894 million mobile money users globally and more than half of the customer base will come from the Asia Pacific region. The evolution of mobile payments systems has the potential to allow MNOs, banks and MFIs to access a far wider market, including the under banked and under served. Markets where MMT has been slow to take off are looking at using new technologies including contactless, NFC and micro SD cards to offer utility and bill collection.

Join us at Asia Pacific’s largest mobile money event and meet the leading pioneers behind the most successful programs in the region and transfer best practices to your own mobile money business. The event is being held in the Philippines, home to Smart Communications and Globe Telecom, both leaders in the field of mobile money. See them both in action and meet the other key stakeholders at MMT APAC 2011!
