Introductory Speech by Moderator
Welcome to you all for this IETE Apex Forum 2018, today. We have got a theme most
relevant for today, i.e. ―Mobile phone; Gateway to Financial Services‖. We have got panelists
from various sectors, vis-a-vis Banking Industry, Railways, Consultancy Services, Postal
Services, Telecommunications, KSEB, Economists and Press & Media.
At the outset, I would like to mention that the Telecom has gone through revolutionary
and phenomenal growth in the last 2 decades, especially in the Mobile Sector from 2G upto 4G
and ensuing 5G. Of course, the mobile handsets also seen the transformation from various stages
up to the latest types of smart phones / i-phones. This has got a tremendous impact in the
financial services even in day-to-day affairs of common man. Hence it is true to state that the
mobile phone of today is the gateway to financial services, not only in India but also globe
across.
The latest services offered by mobile phones over data are very fast and secured financial
services like:-
Mobile Wallet like Paytm, Just pay, Jio money, Oxigen
Commercial Wallets - Future Pay, of Malls, e-cash, go cash, etc.
Commercial Apps – booking.com, OYO with money (OYO money)
OTP based financial transactions
Commercial bill payments of utilities
Auto debits from A/c
Credit card/Debit card transactions
M2M (Mobile to Mobile) money transfers, Fund transfers
Stock market transactions and heavy use in capital investment markets
Transaction alerts, transaction statements with PIN
Insurance Sector transactions
Wire transfers
Global payment solutions
Aadhaar linking
IETE PALAKKAD CENTRE IETE APEX FORUM 2018
10 MOBILE PHONE: GATEWAY TO FINANCIAL SERVICES
E-Way bill, e-tickets with QR codes.
There is a lot of mobile app based money like Jio money, Airtel money, OLA money,
SBI buddy, etc. Many flag-ship programs for cashless India like Unified Payment Interface
(UPI) are introduced for the last two years as a part of Digital India program especially following
demonetization for a digital society with faceless, paperless, cashless society, a versatile program
for the nation. UPI needs bank account, mobile link to bank account, smart phone, debit card for
resetting MPIN, digital payment method, self-service not in the cost of customer offered by most
banks customer face for data only.
Apart from this multiple services are offered like balance enquiry, transaction history,
send/pay money, virtual address, account numbers, IFSC code, mobile number and MMID,
Aadhaar, Collect money (virtual) thus secured. Most of the banks have provided this UPI
facility and inter-operable too.
Bharat interface for money ‗BHIM‘ is also another flag-ship program in this direction by
Government of India, linked to USSD banking without internet.
Large scale deployment of PoS machines, Micro ATMs, Digital Locker, e-sign
technology, NUUP even with basic feature phone enters rapid transformation happening in the
financial sector. Aadhaar PF linking via UMANG app is a latest addition as a unique Mobile
App based service introduced by the Labour Ministry.
The Aadhaar linking with OTP based by dialing 14546 is an effort to link all the mobile
users in the country for authentic identity of the user for a secure and stable India.
Having seen so many mobile based apps in the financial dealings, let us debate the pros
and cons in this revolutionary change in the financial operations without physically going to any
centres like banks, insurance or other offices as the solution is readily available at the finger tip
of the user with the help of mobile phone, which has become the day-to-day affair in our daily
life.
It is worthy to mention here that all concern of the security aspect of these financial
transactions are taken care of to a great extent by many security features incorporated by
Telecom Service Providers (TSPs) and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and also the timely
intervention of CERT-in, which is Computer/Cyber Emergency Response Team in India.

Presentation by Sumesh K Menon
Mobile revolution (can be also be read as Technology disruption) which is shaking the financial
sector like never before which brings in lot of advantages to the consumers. At the same time,
it has got its own concerns especially on the Data security and financial security front. To
align with this, it is imperative that financial institutions needs to re-imagine the way the
business is happening now. If you take the Banking industry, it is going to witness a disruptive
change with the advent of P2P banking. It has been observed that, Apple inc is already filed for
a patent in this area, which might come in big way across the world. There is a high chance that
current Banking model will be vanished and new type of banking system will evolve in a better
way for the convenience of customers.
Major research organizations like PWC and E&Y are predicting that Block Chain technology
will be seen as a major player to manage the Financial sector down the line for 10 years by
which the financial sector can eliminate security concerns to a great extent.
One of the major challenges is the aspect of Privacy and Security. How much this can be taken
care by a leapfrogged economy like INDIA, is to be seen in the coming days. Data has become
the key player and at the same time, it has made each individual vulnerable in many ways. It is in
high demand that Govt. of India should take timely action to bring in the right policy which can
protect the privacy of each Indian citizen at the same time provide maximum conveniences.
Govt must launch proper campaigns to create awareness on the convenience factor of going
mobile and digital. At the same time educate them on the threats and precautions to be taken
related to the same.
Infrastructure management is another area where each financial institutions should take on
serious note. Cloud infrastructure is becoming a necessity nowadays to help organizations to
take real time informed decisions.
Success factor of inclusive financial model – M Pesa in Kenya is quoted here, and it‘s been
observed that, these kind of actions can be brought in only with proper education and campaigns
which will help to change the mindset of the people.
Its been observed that, even though the technology is helping the banks to reduce their operating
cost of transaction from INR 40 rupees for a physical banking transaction to a mere INR 0.40
paise for a mobile transactions, this windfall profit seems to be not transferred to the industry for
sustainable growth.

Points mentioned by Shri. M S Ajayan , Divisional Engineer, BSNL
Mobile is a gateway, not just for Banking, but also for a heterogeneous range of services like
multiply, telemedicine, e shopping, education..etc
When it comes to Banking service, two considerations are top important
a) Network readiness, Seem less connectivity, Preparedness of apps, augmentation of servers
to suitable scale etc
b) Security. This aspect should be examined in 3 layers.
i) End user level. User awareness on password management and security measures is most
important
ii) App level. The mobile apps for E Banking should follow some mandatory guidelines of
security. Standardization is a must in this area
iii) Government/Regulatory agency level
Legal enforcement and monitoring of security measures to be ensured.

Presentation by Dr. K K Jisha
Mobile Banking
A large number of financial services and technology firms have set their sights on integrating
mobile devices into the broader, multi-trillion-dollar retail economy. As a result, the
infrastructure and tools for safe, reliable mobile purchasing has been advancing rapidly in recent
years setting the need for mobile commerce along with mobile banking. Mobile banking services
can be broadly listed as Account Management, Service Requests, Security & Alerts and Value
Added Services1.Mobile money—the ability to transfer funds, pay bills, save, borrow and even
acquire insurance coverage via mobile phones—is transforming the lives of individuals and
small businesses globally. The ability to access funds anywhere, anytime saves time, improves
security and provides a means for saving and managing money more effectively than traditional
methods.
But it also creates a ripple effect that drives broader economic growth.
1. How Mobile Money Drives Economic Growth?
―Mobile money provides an economic stimulus to communities,‖ says Douglas R. Emery,
professor of finance at the University of Miami. ―It allows people to buy goods and services,
from health care to solar energy panels, that they otherwise couldn‘t afford,‖ offering a way to
pay for expensive items through installments instead of one large lump sum.
Here‘s how mobile money can create a virtuous economic cycle:
It makes banking faster and safer
It links to family and friends
It offers a safety net
It helps business
It’s good for the economy
IETE PALAKKAD CENTRE IETE APEX FORUM 2018
22 MOBILE PHONE: GATEWAY TO FINANCIAL SERVICES
The informal sector—or gray market—in emerging economies is as big as 42 percent of official
gross domestic product. By shifting these business transactions from cash to mobile banking, it
makes it harder for companies to evade paying taxes. Mauritius reported a 12 percent increase in
tax returns in the first year of taking mobile payments. Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda
also accept mobile tax payments. Money also flows the other way—government-to-person
payments are increasingly moving via mobile money. The government is also transitioning
payments such as government salaries and social welfare checks. India is working to centralize
and make digital its $72 billion in subsidies, welfare payments, pensions and other transfers. The
World Bank estimates that efficiencies from the shift would save India 1 percent of GDP, or
about $20 billion.
So while mobile money may have started as a simple solution to making money more easily
accessible, it is now a key part of changing economies and improving the lives of millions of
people.
2. Why mobile money is key to financial inclusion?
The past few decades have brought more progress to mankind than the last few centuries. In
1990, 60% of the total population lived in extreme poverty. Today the share is below 10%. If
poverty reduction continues at the same pace we will be able to eradicate extreme poverty within
one or two decades. Globalization, connectivity and economic policy reforms in China, India and
many other countries have been transformative in reducing poverty.
To start on the path towards the relative prosperity of middle-class life, we need to continue to
increase inclusion in our societies. One key challenge is financial inclusion.
Almost 2 billion people, 40% the world's adult population, lack one of the most basic amenities
of modern life: a bank account. They are among the world's poorest, struggling to obtain the
money they need to feed their families. This is most obvious in fragile states and conflict and
crisis situations: financial sectors function less effectively and vulnerable people need access to
delivered financial aid just to stay alive. The International Finance Corporation, the World
Bank's investment arm, estimates that more than 200 million formal and informal enterprises in
developing economies are either unserved or underserved in terms of their financing needs.
The United Nations has, jointly with the World Bank and the World Economic Forum, launched
a commitment for Universal Financial Access by 2020. It covers 25 countries and almost 75% of
the world‘s financially excluded. Various actors, both public and private, have committed to
creating approximately 1.5 billion accounts for un- and under-banked people.
IETE PALAKKAD CENTRE IETE APEX FORUM 2018
23 MOBILE PHONE: GATEWAY TO FINANCIAL SERVICES
There has been substantial progress. It is a challenge that 2 billion adults remain without an
account, but we should also note that only three years ago, 2.5 billion adults were unbanked. The
number of people worldwide who have an account grew by 700 million between 2011 and 2014.
Now 60% of the world‘s adult population has an account; up from 50% in 2011.
A key factor in our ability to make progress is connectivity. Between 2010 and 2015 the number
of mobile subscriptions increased by 300 million. Swedish mobile operator Ericsson is
forecasting that another 1.6 billion subscriptions will be added by 2020 and an additional 3
billion people will have access to a smartphone in the same timeframe. Increased connectivity is
an opportunity in terms of increased access, not only to financial services but also to health,
education and many other areas.
3. Lessons from mobile banking pioneers
There are so many different examples of how technology and connectivity is transforming lives.
There are also a few lessons to be learned from the countries that have blazed a trail ahead.
The first is that political leadership is necessary. The governments and the central banks were the
energy behind the implementation. The banks were reluctant initially because they thought the
telecom operators wanted to compete with them and provide banking services. Today we can see
that this has not been the case. The banks can reach clients that never before had access to the
financial system. When people experience the convenience of storing and transferring money,
they start to consider saving opportunities that are far more efficient than a hidden coffee can.
Another key takeaway is that it is necessary to bring all stakeholders together. The banks, the
financial supervisors, the telecom companies and the telecom regulators have different starting
points and work within different frameworks. To facilitate progress it is necessary to get the
stakeholders to communicate and remove obstacles together. By understanding each other better,
problems can be avoided and progress can be made faster.
The fact that the financial sector and telecom operators can make a difference is important for the
whole industry. Both banks and telecom operators struggle with public trust issues. Contributing
to financial inclusion is one way of showing that these sectors play a key role in improving the
lives of ordinary people.
