Operators can benefit in two ways
While advanced mobile markets have linked mobile and banking services for some time, the mobile payments segment is now also expanding into emerging markets, where more than a billion mobile phone users are currently lacking bank accounts. This divergence occurred, for example due to the new availability of inexpensive mobile handsets in markets, such as Latin America, Asia and Africa. Mobile money services offer new revenue opportunities for operators in two ways: direct revenue and indirect benefits, especially reduced churn and increased ARPU. That is why worldwide markets for mobile payments are expected to experience exponential growth rates within the next years. This is due to more and more payments are made via handset - be it for digital goods, such as ringtones or music, or physical goods, such as books, coffee or gifts, or simply to transfer money to your family via your handset.
