Changing The Game Through Non-Conventional Channels and Innovation In Remittances

The impact of remittances is recognized across the globe. The introduction of online and mobile money transfer systems in many developing countries has been a game changer by enhancing accessibility via more cost-effective means of sending money. Globally, the mobile money industry has been continuously growing and expanding. Recently, a broad range of innovative services including mobile technology have been launched in various parts of the world in partnership with banks. Through these technological advancements, consumers are able to receive remittances faster, cheaper and in their vicinity by using mobile phones and other devices. Nonetheless, enhancing formal remittance service outreach and capturing larger volume of remittances in the formal financial system are critical to leverage remittances for economic growth.

This event will explore the global remittance markets, the development impact of remittances in the Asia and Pacific Region. We will look at what has changed and, more importantly, what is likely to change. We will look at the major flows and some of the opportunities and threats to continued growth. A session on Mobile payment will be key as the use of mobile phones for funds transfer in the Asia-Pacific region is outstripping that of most developed countries. The massive increase in the payments, remittances and banking transaction value is anticipated to be driven by the Asia-Pacific region. This event will showcase the dynamism and innovation of the remittance marketplace. It will also serve as a platform where views can be exchanged on how to address obstacles and challenges.
