Detailed analysis of the likely future of this market and the business case from the card issuer perspective.
Highlights
Despite the optimistic forecasts for the development of mpayments, there remain few examples of successful programs. However, this is a market that holds significant potential. Mobile phone subscriptions continue to grow internationally, and they present card issuers with a clear opportunity to capture a portion of the elusive micropayment market.
The collapse of Simpay has surprised many in the industry. Designed to act as a card scheme for mobile operators in the payment space, Simpay folded as a result of the withdrawal of just one of its four founding partners. This demonstrates that card issuer involvement is crucial for any mpayment program.
The business case for mobile payments from the card issuer perspective hinges on there being an appreciable growth in card use. However, there are a number of flaws in the mpayment model in this respect. Indeed, for card issuers looking to achieve greater volumes, there are existing alternatives that may achieve these aims more effectively.
