The fact that Mobile Penetration is next to none, and it has now attained a Ubiquitous status, touching every single dimension of a Person’s life. Along with new-age devices, comes high-speed networks with unlimited capacities, which brings Newer Applications into the domain of Reality. Mobile Money is going to be the next big thing, and with the deep penetration, this mode of payment can easily outgrow every other instrument.

With growth comes the increasing menace of making easy money by Fraudsters. Mobile Payment will drive e-commerce, both online & offline. Ease of user experience will continue to be paramount. At the same time, building an eco-system of customer trust is important, where users do not face the fear of phishing & online scams. Marrying the two is going to be the most critical aspect of driving growth in the next few years.

Among the companies working in the domain Empello and Evina are the ones to watch in the year ahead. There are other players as well who are making DCB with innovative solutions for DCB are Boku Inc. and Digital Virgo.
