Overview

This IDC Financial Insights report examines five case studies of successful mobile payments systems from around the world to identify best practices and their dependency on social, political, technological, and economic factors. Mobile payments are still an embryonic technology, with dozens of alternative methods in use. Research coverage often focuses on technological issues, rather than business models.

According to Aaron McPherson, practice director at IDC Financial Insights and the principal author of the report, "There is no one best model toward which all mobile payment systems will converge, rather different models will be favored depending on the concentration of telecommunications and financial assets in each country."
