IIR Telecoms

IIR’s Mobile Banking & Financial Services Africa event is designed to highlight the potential business models and revenue opportunities that are available to mobile operators and financial institutions seeking to profit from the use of the mobile device as a channel to support payment, banking and financial services.  Through a variety of best practice case studies and first-hand insights, it will also outline the potentials risks and pitfalls that banks, operators and payments providers should avoid.

Based on the tremendous success of three annual Mobile Payment Strategies Conferences held in Europe, as well as a strong track record in events in Africa over the past five years, IIR is extremely well placed to be hosting an event on this specific topic area, in this particular region.  In channelling our skills, knowledge, expertise and extensive contact base IIR is delighted to offer a highly informative mobile banking, payments and financial service event dedicated to answering the key questions and challenges faced by banks and operators in both developed and developing African markets.

Topics to be addressed include:

• Identifying which mobile payment products and services are likely to be most successful given your specific market dynamics and requirements and developing appropriate business models
• Designing strategies that will overcome the obstacles to traditional banking and encourage customer adoption; successfully re-educating consumers in order to ‘bank the unbanked’
• Understanding the importance of developing interoperable rather than proprietary MBFS systems in order to maximise the success and viability of the service offering
• Adding Mobile Banking and Financial Services to your Value Added Services (VAS) portfolio to improve the customer experience and maximise the effectiveness of loyalty and retention initiatives
• Understanding and complying with the regulatory framework for MBFS from both a banking and telecoms perspective
• Identifying the potential fraud, security and revenue leakage risks that could arise when supporting an MBFS portfolio
• Examining what more advanced markets such as South Africa can learn from European experiences of developing NFC and Contactless-based payments services
• Reviewing the emerging solutions and technologies that can support secure, robust and scalable MBFS portfolios – learn about the latest product offerings at the Exhibitor Show Case
