Mobile Money in Asia

After a few months of well-earned rest, one of the pioneers of mobile banking is back at work. Brad Jones, who established Wing in Cambodia some years back, has recently launched his own advising firm Mobile Accelerate.

During the past period, he and other specialists (like Paul Reynolds, Michael Joyce and Joep Roest) launched a portal for mobile money initiatives in Asia. (Read here). With information related to capital for initiatives, ancillary services (like payroll) and regulatory considerations (like KYC) it is definitely worth a read - or to keep an alert going.

It is important that practitioners in this new industry don't just execute, but also share their insights with a wider audience. With this in mind, Mobile Money Asia must be applauded.
