The CBN is the regulator. The banks are facilitators while some telcom/ict companies are technology partners. In a country of over 150m, less than 20m have bank accounts while over 80m have mobile phones. Having studied its success in Kenya, the CBN believes it can increase the number of banked people, as well as minimise dependence on cash through mobile payment. Basically, you approach a local/nearby agent to load funds on your phone. They charge a commission for this. Once you have funds in your mobile 'wallet', you can transfer the money to others or settle bills by sms, gprs, web, ussd (like u do when loading airtime) or nsdt (near sound data transfer). Some of the players include gtbank/mtn yellobank, zenith/visafone, uba, monitise nigeria, parkway projects, etranzact, amongst others. The business opportunities can be likened to running a bdx or recharge card dealership. The economic benefits include banking the unbanked, less qeues in banking halls, etc. More info: www.google.com/m?q=mobile+moey+nigeria |
