Mobile banking has been a blessing for anyone who handles money fast. The ability to verify account balances and transfer money via mobile phones has reduced the need for branch banks. However, in developing countries, mobile banking is something much deeper. While mobile banking is largely a matter of convenience in developed countries to developing countries the difference between the bank and nothing.
Mobile banking technology has been tailored to their unique needs and circumstances. Fortunately, the location of mobile banking in developing the market began to take shape.
We will take a closer look at mobile banking as a means for developed countries, both in the short term and on the road.
Helping the Poor
One promising aspect of mobile banking has the potential to help the poor in developing countries. As mentioned above, the poor state of many of these countries is such that the average citizen has little or no real access to banking services. For example, India has 36% of people earning less than 5,000 rupees a month and do not have bank accounts.
Currently, it is never easy for the citizens of a poor country to receive money from friends or family in developed countries. However, while in the U.S. can pay with one click of the mouse, in parts of Africa need a day to pay bills because Africa must physically go to the bank, then you must make long queues.
Strong economic growth
It is logical that when thousands (or millions) of citizens can only participate in the economy with physical currency, it would be difficult for the economy of the entire nation that grows on a regular basis.
Why Capitalism Triumphs in the West and fails everywhere? Is not corruption or lack of entrepreneurship in development? Far from it, people from countries that have the talent, interest and an amazing ability to squeeze profits from anywhere. Instead, the missing link in many land development is a clear property rights through the system and financial infrastructure. In the absence of such a system, individuals can not easily get a loan, for example.
Reducing corruption
While corruption is not the only cause of poverty in emerging markets would be a great cause. Interestingly, however, mobile banking has shown the potential to reduce corruption in these countries to adopt its use.
The implications are clear. Most of the corruption in developing countries continues because of manual processing payments by corrupt people. This system opens the door to corruption and all kinds of dishonesty and fraud. Mobile automated systems, however, offer a rationalization that makes it more difficult for bad guys to game the system.
