1 Mobile Payment Opportunity in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) Region February
2 Mobile Payment Opportunity in the MEA Region Executive Summary The Mobile Payment (M-Payment) market in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region is expected to grow rapidly over the next few years MEA M-Payment transaction value is expected to grow at 66% annually over the next few years, reaching USD 28.1 billion or 11.3% of the global value by 2012 Key segments of the M-Payment market are M-Remittance (84% of the expected transaction value by 2012) and M-Money, which includes retail purchases, airtime top-ups and bill payments via mobile phone Underlying drivers supporting this rapid growth in the market are: The large (and growing) gap between bank penetration and mobile penetration in the region A large number of contractual workers who typically do not have bank accounts A sizeable immigrant population making regular remittances to their home country The relatively low usage of credit cards in the region The resulting economics and ROI for M-Payment service providers are attractive M-PESA, developed with an initial investment USD 3.2 million by Vodafone, generated USD 42.5 million in M-Payment revenue for its affiliate Safaricom in Kenya (in 2009) Attracted by the fundamentals of the market and validation of the business model by players like Safaricom (M-PESA), many of the telecom companies in the region have introduced M-Payment services However, the market is still in the early stages of development and there is plenty of opportunity for new and existing players to create and capture value through a number of different business models 2

6 1 Market Opportunity Drivers of the M-Payment Opportunity In MEA, factors such as the large number of migrants, transient workers and a substantial (and rapidly growing) mobile user base are driving the growth of the M-Payment market High Mobile Penetration & Low Bank Penetration 2 Large Number of Transient Workers 3 Large Immigrant Population in Need of Remittance Services M-Payment is a convenient funds transfer option in areas with low bank accessibility The large and growing gap between the number of mobile subscribers and bank account holders make MEA an ideal market for M-Payment service providers Transient workers, form a significant proportion of the workforce in the Middle East, accounting for over 50% of labor force in the GCC These workers have low/irregular incomes and can benefit from M-Payment as no minimum balance or regular installments are required Contractual workers typically make frequent lowvalue transactions that have lower risk, thus making M-Payment a preferred transaction medium The MEA region currently has ~40 million migrant workers, leading to a substantial outflow of funds from the region M-Payment service providers can capture a sizeable share of the international remittance market, given the cost advantage over traditional funds transfer mechanisms Africa Middle East Gap in Mobile and Bank Penetration in MEA, % 22% 30% 52% 0% 35% 70% Mobile Penetration Bank Penetration 4 Population s Reluctance to use Credit Cards Adoption and usage of credit cards is low in the MEA region USD 6.9 billion in electronic payments 2 in the region in 2009 represented only 1.8% of the global e-payment transaction value Low credit card usage may be attributed to behavioral & religious reasons Given the high mobile penetration, M-Payment can be a popular alternative to credit cards Note: 1 Calculated by Grail Research and refers to Workers' remittances, compensation of employees, and migrant transfers, debit; 2 Made primarily through credit cards Source: Business Intelligence Middle East; Gartner; IE Market Research; Arthur D Little; Mobile Commerce in MEA, Delta Partners, Jan 2009; First Arabic Financial Daily; International Trade Administration; International Organization for Migration ; World Migration Report 2008 USD billion Remittances 1 Outflow from MEA,
7 Market Opportunity Economics and ROI in the M-Payment Market Safaricom s M-PESA service illustrates the strong ROI experts believe M-Payment providers can expect.

14 Business Models Introduction to the Value Chain Three business models for M-Payment services have emerged; each differs based on the type of organization that plays the role of Issuer, Acquirer and Payment Network Key Parties and Their Role in an M-Payment Transaction Issuer (Bank/ Mobile Operator) Issuers provide credit (M-Wallet) to customers on their mobile phones and manage their accounts Customers receive funds on their mobile phones. They buy credits through the purchase of a pre-paid balance or receive a charge in their mobile bill Customers initiate the purchase or transaction through the mobile application/solution/sms Customer Payment Network (Bank, mobile operator or financial institution such as Visa/ MasterCard) Payment networks connect and switch transactions between the acquirer and the issuer Transaction / Purchase Merchant Acquirer (Bank/ Mobile Operator) Acquirers provide Point of Sale equipment to the merchant and charge the issuer for the transaction Upon receipt of payment, acquirers credit merchants accounts Merchants accept payments from customers and record them through Point of Sale equipment (reader or a mobile phone) New technologies such as Near Field Communication enable customers to use their mobile phone as a smart card Key Business Models M-Payment Services Business Model Role of Acquirer Payment Network Role of Issuer A B C Operator-Centric Mobile Operator Mobile Operator Mobile Operator Financial Institution-Centric Financial Institution Financial Institution Financial Institution Collaboration Mobile Operator or Financial Institution Financial Institution Mobile Operator or Financial Institution 14
15 Business Models Operator-Centric Model The Operator-Centric Model is particularly attractive in countries with weak a financial services infrastructure, because the telecom operator manages the entire M-Payment value chain A Operator-Centric Model M-Wallet Provision by Mobile Operator 1 Customers go to the mobile operator s agent to receive a mobile balance in exchange for cash 2 or Operators charge customers for transactions via their mobile bill Customer has the required credit on his/her mobile phone Customer Customer conducts a transaction using a mobile phone Operator adjusts customer s mobile balance or charges the customer on his/her bill Merchant transfers transaction information Merchant Operator credits merchant s account Mobile Operator (Acquirer + Payment Network + Issuer) In the Operator-Centric Model, the telecom operator manages the entire M-Payment value chain The operator plays the role of acquirer, payment network and issuer. The operator is also responsible for providing the Point of Sale (POS) equipment to merchants Examples: NTT DoCoMo FeliCa (Japan); G-Cash (Philippines), Mobipay (Spain), M-PESA (Kenya) Key Features: The operator leverages its existing infrastructure, customer base and experience in managing a wide distribution network» Operators can adopt this model in developing markets such as the MEA where there are large volumes of micro-payments (low-risk associated with such payments) Since operators are managing the entire value chain, they need to make significant investments in POS equipment and customer service for merchants Source: Proximity Mobile Payments Business Scenarios: Research Report on Stakeholder Perspectives, Smart Card Alliance, Jul 2008; The M-commerce reality in the MEA, Comm.ae, Feb
16 Business Models Financial Institution-Centric Model The Financial Institution-Centric Model works well in markets with an established and trusted financial infrastructure B Financial Institution-Centric Model M-Wallet Provision Customers banks provide the M-Payment application on mobile phones or enable the customer to conduct transactions via their mobile phone Customer has the required credit on his/her mobile Customer Issuer charges the customer for the purchase Issuer Bank Customer conducts transaction using the mobile Information is transferred through payment network Issuer transfers payment Merchant Payment Network (Bank/ Financial Institution) Acquirer credits the merchant s account Merchant transfers the transaction information using the POS equipment provided by the acquirer Acquirer transfers transaction information to the network Acquirer (Bank / Financial Institution) Payment is transferred through payment network In this model, banks and financial institutions are the only parties involved in processing the transaction and transferring funds The acquirer and issuer bank may or may not be the same Banks are responsible for providing customers with the M-Payment application/solution on their mobile phones and deploying Point of Sale equipment with the merchant Examples: MasterCard s Pay-Pass Key Features: Mobile operators are not involved in the process, except for the use of the mobile network (SMS/WAP) The model reduces cash and check handling and improves customer loyalty for banks; customers benefit from improved transaction security since banks are involved This model does not work in markets with poor banking penetration or for customers that do not have a bank account Banks need to incur an additional cost for installation and maintenance of the mobile application, sometimes on multiple networks Source: Proximity Mobile Payments Business Scenarios: Research Report on Stakeholder Perspectives, Smart Card Alliance, Jul 2008; Mobile Commerce in MEA: A Current Reality, Delta Partners, Jan 2009; DOCOMO to Launch Mobile Remittance Service, NTT DOCOMO, Jul
17 Business Models Collaboration Model C The Collaboration M-Payment Model adapts to suit the requirements of different geographies. Telecom operators and financial institutions distribute the transaction-enabling roles (acquirer, issuer, etc.) as appropriate for the market Collaboration Model M-Wallet Provision Banks or mobile operators provide the M-Payment applications on customers mobile phones or enable customers to conduct transactions via their mobile phones Customer has the required credit on his/her mobile Customer Issuer charges the customer for the purchase Issuer (Mobile Operator/Bank) Customer conducts transaction using their mobile Transfer of information through payment network Issuer transfers payment Merchant Payment Network (Bank/ Financial Institution) Acquirer credits merchant s account Merchant transfers the transaction information using the POS equipment provided by the acquirer Acquirer transfers transaction information to issuer Acquirer (Mobile Operator/ Bank Transfer of payment through payment network In the Collaboration Model, services across the value chain are distributed between telecom operators, banks and other financial institutions such as MasterCard and Visa Examples: South Korean SK Telecom s Moneta service launched in association with financial services companies such as Visa Key Features: Leverages the core competencies of financial institutions (credit and risk management) and telecom operators (mobile application and transaction) Telecom operators do not need to take on the financial risk Investment and revenue are shared among stakeholders This model is effective in areas with low bank penetration, as the mobile operator plays the role of the issuer Source: Proximity Mobile Payments Business Scenarios: Research Report on Stakeholder Perspectives, Smart Card Alliance, July 2008; Mobile Commerce in MEA: A Current Reality, Delta Partners, Jan 2009; DOCOMO to Launch Mobile Remittance Service, NTT DOCOMO, Jul 2009; FINsights 17

22 Challenges Barriers to Growth of M-Payment in the MEA Region While the MEA M-Payment market opportunity is significant, telecom operators face adoption, distribution and regulatory challenges Challenges in the MEA M-Payment Market Lack of Technological Sophistication Among Customers Distribution Regulatory Barriers A large segment of the population in the MEA is not comfortable with the use of technology Service providers will need to invest in simplifying the technology and interface, and in educating customers A wide distribution network of agents is critical to success in this market, but setting up and maintaining such a network can be difficult and costly in a number of MEA countries Low start-up costs and an attractive commission structure for their network of agents will be critical for service providers as they look to develop and maintain distribution networks The regulatory framework for financial transactions via mobile phones is currently not well developed As regulations evolve, M-Payment service providers may have to comply with stricter controls such as Know Your Customer requirements (to prevent money laundering, terrorism funding, etc.), which may add costs and slow adoption Mandatory Requirement of Bank Accounts (by Some M-Payment Networks) Some M-Payment service providers require customers to have a bank account, which limits the potential for services within the unbanked population, an important customer segment for growth In addition, some service providers concentrate on existing bank customers rather than going after the unbanked population,who are most in need of services like M-Remittance and M-Money for retail purchases Note: Know Your Customer refers to a regulation that requires banks and financial institutions to verify the identities of their customers Source: Mobile Banks face Challenges in Africa, Wireless Federation; Mobile Banking: Knowledge Map and Possible Donor Support Strategies, InfoDev; Consumer Protection a Key Issue for Branchless Banking, CGAP, Mar 09 22
