Mobile and Contactless Payments for Mobile Network Operators and Handset Manufacturers

The mobile telecommunications market has been considerably shaken up in recent years by the arrival of new entrants to the market, forcing MNO’s to rethink their position in the market if they want to participate in the growth of mobile payment revenues. The big question for MNO’s is understanding and actualising the best possible trajectory within the mobile payment ecosystem, based on the formidable challenges of business models, partnerships, interoperability and adoption. What is the next step?

  • Fly Solo: Will one visionary player with significant market power make the required investment to stimulate development?
  • Buddy System: Will a financial institution and a carrier come together to provide payment solutions, sharing risks and rewards to develop harmonised and defined business models that create a broad base coalition of smaller players?
  • Open Federation: Will mobile carriers, financial institutions, merchants and handset manufacturers come together on a standardised platform to provide mobile payment services?

A collaborative model focused on partnership appears to be the way forward, but there is disagreement as to the value proposition and customer ownership. Opportunities will certainly arise as partners combine customer bases to strengthen brand identity and demand however there are the obvious challenges in technical and operational integration.

Internationally, the expanding roles of the telecom operators and financial institutions are blurring the boundaries, with operators acquiring licences and banks becoming telecom operators. What will happen here in Australia?
