Anant Tailor

14:05 – 14:15 No Plastic Required: Why mobile will be a dominant payment mechanism of the future

Paying via a mobile phone number is faster, more convenient and more secure than transacting with a traditional credit card. There are significantly more mobile number accounts in the world than credit cards. The ubiquity of mobile phones combined with the ease and ability of completing a transaction via mobile payment opens a significant new market of ‘unbanked’ customers and enables consumers in developed countries an easier checkout flow. This results in generating higher conversion rates and more revenue for all parties in the value chain. Wellington will explain the benefits of this payment option for merchants, consumers and carriers, and why mobile must be at the core of any monetization strategy for the next five years.
