Mobile Money & NFC
Research Service
ABI Research was early to recognize the market opportunities that can result when the mobile phone becomes the "mobile wallet," and launched its Mobile Money Research Service, which examines a comprehensive range of mobile money services, including mobile banking, person-to-person payments, international remittance, and both NFC and non-NFC-enabled mobile commerce across all value chain participants from operators to banks to application/platform developers. It addresses mobile services technologies such as SMS, mobile Internet, downloadable applications, and SIM, as well as related devices such as card readers, transponders, and NFC-enabled handsets.
This Service also examines the mobile money services value chain that includes retail merchants, operators, banks, money transfer organizations, interoperability hubs, aggregators, bank software vendors, and credit/debit card issuers.
