Mobile banking is emerging as a key platform for expanding access to financial services to the underserved around the world.

By the end of 2008, the UN says there will be 4 billion mobile phone connections globally. This development has already impacted microfinance institutions in countries such as Kenya, South Africa, Pakistan, and the Phillipines. In the US, commercial banks, payments processors like Western Union, and entrepreneurs are developing businesses using mobile technology for money transfer.

This panel will explore mobile banking for microfinance institutions, new venture-funded mobile platforms for the underbanked, and developed bank mobile platforms for remittances. Join finance professionals, microfinance practitioners, and technology entrepreneurs to listen, network, and exchange ideas.
