MRDC Strategies for the Underbanked: Leveraging Prepaid Cards Co-Presenter Patrice Peyret, CEO, Plastyc 19
Mobile RDC for Underbanked Opportunity to save time and money for 60M people in the US 60M underbanked in the US (source: FDIC) Have to go to check-cashing stores: Waste of time: going to the store twice a month Waste of money: high fees (except for certain printed checks) Higher penetration of smartphones among under-banked Click than to edit the Master US average title style People with no fixed phone line and ISP at home Their mobile phone is main online access and mission-critical 20
The Last Remaining Gap between Prepaid Cards and Checking Accounts Mobile RDC coupled to Prepaid Cards = Checking Account General Purpose Reloadable prepaid cards are all ACH-routable i.e. look like checking for bank transfers most with FDIC insurance many with Reg E compliance (for cards able to receive tax refunds and other government funds) many with Click bill to pay edit services Master title including style paper checks 21
Check Depositing is the Last Stop Mobile RDC coupled to Prepaid Cards = Checking Account They are only missing check depositing to be 100% functionally equivalent to a checking account = 22
Remaining Challenges for MRDC + Prepaid Cards Security requirements are more stringent than with regular checking accounts Customers more tempted to cheat Photoshop a check, cash it, empty the card, disappear Cash a large valid check twice: Through MRDC into a prepaid card At a check cashing store immediately afterwards and go underground Customers less vetted: availability of MRDC will be a prime motivator to open a prepaid card account 23
When/How to Expect MRDC for Underbanked Early 2013 should see a number of MRDC-prepaid offerings for the underbanked Major prepaid issuing banks are currently vetting anti-fraud measures Anti-fraud measures will include Geo-restrictions Velocity and amount limits Dissuasion through random phone calls during check capture MRDC for underbanked consumers with prepaid cards will likely deploy progressively via pilot tests 24
Key Takeaways 25
Key Takeaways Mobile deposit is an acquisition strategy but not for long. It can create revenue opportunities and cut costs. Integrated, targeted rollouts will have stronger appeal. Mobile deposit and prepaid can build a bridge to the underbanked. Educate consumers and build fraud mitigation tools into the solution. 26
