Dear Jack,
Apologies for a late reply. CGAP also has some excellent resources on the regulation of mobile banking (and branchless banking more generally). Please see several that I’ve listed below.
Best,
Leah

Dear Jack, I found this paper online which describes some of the common regulatory issues which you are inquiring about. I hope it is useful: http://www4.gsb.columbia.edu/null/download?&exclusive=filemgr.download&file_id=733510

You can also check this presentation out, on Slide 16 it contains some of the most salient regulatory challenges ahead. http://www.slideshare.net/mpayconnect/mobile-financial-services-for-the-next-billion-customers-mobile-payments-series

There was also a big event at the State Department that discussed this topic, you can see some of the basic conversations that took place there, by clicking here: http://www.state.gov/statecraft/tech/money/index.htm

Hi Leah,

Just joined the site. On mobile banking, what are the most common regulatory issues encountered in developing economies and how are they addressed?

Thanks.
