Figure shows various Benefits of Mobile Banking

Mobile banking reduces its customers reliance on cash, a feature that brings increased convenience and savings potential into customers lives. Cash becomes unnecessary for transferring or receiving money, which reduces the inherent risks of cash handling, such as loss, theft, or fraud. With middlemen squeezed out of the transaction equation as a result of Mobile banking, customers will experience increased transparency. All of these benefits give consumers good reason to adopt mobile banking. The poor also suffer from the severe expense shocks that occur now and then in their lives. Again, access to financial services would help. Customers can obtain funds to help overcome temporary shortfalls through credit, remittances, and insurance, all of which is out of reach for the unbanked and has served to keep the poor from improving their economic situation.

II.

Benefits of Mobile banking to Operator:

On the other node, the customers who avail the financial services by using mobile banking will begin heavily to rely their operators, which is also in the benefit of operators as it will further result a major increase in customers loyalty and Attraction rate.

III.

Benefits of Mobile banking to Banking Sector:

As access to mobile phones grows worldwide, so does the opportunity to attract more customers and extend the reach of financial services. By turning mobile phones into their banks ATMs, banks and other financial institutions gain access to new markets, different from those traditionally served by their physical branches. Access to banking services at anytime and from anywhere also generates revenue through higher service usage, and reduces operating expenses because of fewer direct teller interactions, while maintaining or improving the level of service. Banking sector gain another important benefit by adding Mobile Banking to their existing channels.

The Role of Mobile Banking in Pakistan 6. Impact of Mobile Banking in World:

CBC-2011

The advent of value added services offerings like Mobile Banking over mobile networks have farreaching effects. The global mobile money industry has grown significantly in size and scope since last five years. By 2015, online shoppers worldwide will spend $119 billion on goods and services purchased via mobile phones, representing about 8% of total ecommerce sales, ABI Research predicts. According to Juniper research, amount of mobile payment transaction is expected to reach 630 Billion USD by 2014, with a half a billion mobile money users globally. Mobile remittances are yet another segment of mobile Banking having a sound anticipation throughout the world. The GSMA forecasts that the 'formal' global remittance market could be grown from around US$300 billion by 2010 to over US$1 trillion in five years with the help of mobile communications. Encouragingly, According to World Bank, Pakistan is among the Top 20 remittancereceiving economies with a size of 9 Billion USD. Mobile banking is another growing phenomenon; talking on a global scenario almost billion people are unbanked with more than twothirds of the unbanked population in the worlds low and middle-income countries. However, evidence from countries like Brazil, South Africa, India, and Kenya strongly suggests that there is rapid popularity of mobile banking services.

7. Impacts of Mobile Banking in Pakistan:


Mobile banking reduces its customers reliance on cash, a feature that brings increased convenience and savings potential into Pakistanis lives. Cash becomes unnecessary for transferring or receiving money, which reduces the inherent risks of cash handling, such as loss, theft, or fraud. With middlemen squeezed out of the transaction equation as a result of Mobile Banking, customers will experience increased transparency. All of these benefits give consumers good reason to adopt mobile banking. Pakistans poor face two primary challenges that financial services can help address. First, they tend to live with a high degree of income volatility. Financial services can help smooth out their cash flow in several ways: by building a buffer through savings; by increasing inflow through remittances; and by accumulating lump sums of money through savings and credit that can be used to manage major expenses as they come up.

The Role of Mobile Banking in Pakistan


a. New Job Creation:

CBC-2011

Increased access to finance facilitates entrepreneurship, new business creation, and new jobs. A World Bank study finds a 1 percent increase in financial inclusion corresponds to a 0.51 percent increase in business creation, and a 15 percent inclusion increase leads to employment growth of 1 percent. By 2020, if Mobile financial services adoption through Mobile Banking Products will increases financial inclusion by 20 percent, up to 600,000 new businesses could be created, leading to 1 million new jobs an employment increase of 1.3 percent. This is the equivalent of new jobs for 1 out of every 10 currently unemployed Pakistani.

b. Tax Revenue Growth:


The benefits of the economic growth stimulated by financial services through Mobile Banking will increase tax revenues, as well. Corporate taxes will grow as a result of new business creation along the Mobile financial Services value chain, growing profits within existing firms thanks to savings from Mobile financial services and company expansions made possible by Mobile Banking. This business growth and creation will generate new jobs, which mean increased employee income taxes. Mobile banking financial services could therefore add US$2 billion annually to Pakistans government revenues by 2020 which means an increase of 3 percent.

c. Tools for Government:


Mobile financial services through Mobile Banking can bring a distinct advantage as an efficient disbursement tool for federal welfare. The current system involves paying by checks or cash, and making use of offline points of service. Such cash payments and subsidies saddle the government with significant costs and inefficiencies, including possible delays, leakages, and risk of corruption by middlemen. To open individual bank accounts for beneficiaries would cause these problems to diminish. Mobile banking would provide beneficiaries with direct access through electronic identification and mobile accounts. They would receive their welfare and subsidy payments instantly, at low cost, with no risk of leakages. Like Telenor Easypaisa and UBL Omni. Furthermore, mobile banking would encourage the development of e-government services, benefitting both government and citizenry with a user-friendly system that would facilitate payments and ID solutions cost effectively. Canada has implemented such a system and has saved US$9 per inhabitant on public services annually, with high user satisfaction. In 2005, that nation launched mobile services meant to improve the delivery of government programs and services to Canadians. The program handles requests for Social Security numbers and passport and credit applications, and it also disburses tax and social security payments. It has provided users with a faster and easier way to access government services, even those in rural and remote locations.

d. Impact on Firms, Merchants, and Middlemen:


The adoption of mobile financial services by Mobile banking can decrease administrative costs for companies. Many firms, such as utility companies, spend significant time and money on the administration and processing of paper bills. Incorporating electronic receipts and reporting can reduce costs and improve speed and accuracy, reducing erroneous charges for arrears, for example. In addition, Mobile banking will increase transaction speeds and reduce outstanding credit times, minimizing how long it takes to collect and inquire after payments. A byproduct of companies reduced administrative duties is an increase in the flow of customer sand revenues to over-the-counter Mobile banking agents. The merchants who take on these jobs will benefit from the growing sales of financial services, larger revenues from the sales of ordinary goods, and an improved social standing as a result of their work. In Mobile Banking some middlemen have been based on the transport of money for remittances and payments, and some have worked as money collectors for informal savings and credit schemes. Thus new opportunities will arise such as jobs for formal banking agents for those willing to be trained and licensed. A wide chain of Easy paisa and Omni Agents in operating as a Middleman in Pakistan for providing mobile banking services to customers mainly transfer of remittances and payments of bills.

e. Impact of Mobile Banking on Society:


The adoption of mobile financial services can help support the achievement of Pakistans social development goals. The growth of the countrys technological infrastructure mobile, Internet, and, thus, Financial Services through Mobile Banking will be at the root of the development of rural society, education, health care, gender equality, and transparency. As these improvements occur, human capital and economic development will thrive, as will improvements in the equality of opportunity and income. MFS can support the development that leads to a higher quality of life through more equitable economic growth, helping Pakistan address some of the social goals of its Five-Year Plan (2010 to 2015) and Vision 2030.

The Role of Mobile Banking in Pakistan 8. Potential Market:

CBC-2011

Our country has experienced an excelling growth for both mobile and banking sectors since their deregulation; today we are witnessing mergers of their products and services. According to State bank of Pakistan, growth and turnaround in Pakistans banking sector has been remarkable and unprecedented in recent years. Classified as Pakistans and regions best performing sector, the financial sector assets have risen to over $187 billion, its profitability is exceptional and at an all-time high, nonperforming loans (NPLs) are at an alltime low, credit is fairly diversified and bankwide system risks are wellcontained. Almost 81% of banking assets are in private hands. Similarly mobile sector in Pakistan has observed an enormous growth with a subscribers base reaching above 100 million, growing at12 to 15%, which was only 5 Million in 200405.

Despite this rapid growth, presently there are only 25 million bank accounts in the country making 14 % of the adult population with an access to formal banking services. If the opportunity relationship is mapped between the numbers of bank accounts (25 million) versus the number of mobile subscribers (102 million), there exists a comprehensible window of facilitation for the unbanked population of the country mostly living in rural and remote areas. This window of facilitation could be transformed into a realization through mobile banking services. An open, transparent and robust mobile banking regulatory framework would not only assist the population at large but would also be bridging the ability to measure undocumented economy of Pakistan. The high population density of mobile Pakistan is features auguring very well for success of a technology driven thrust in branchless banking. Five mobile phone companies have brought the entire country under comprehensive network coverage, with steady growth in number of mobile phone subscribers (already well above hundred million), and also with ample information processing capacity to engage in partnerships with licensed and regulated financial service providers to devise and introduce innovative cost effective means of introducing new segments of banking. We have already started witnessing availability of valuable mobile commerce services offering from mobile operators and financial institutes. These services have empowered mobile subscribers to deposit and withdraw cash, make utility bill payments, send or receive money, purchase mobile card vouchers, make postpaid mobile bill payment and much more by using diversified array of convenient channels. Telenor Easy Paisa and UBL Omni are featured examples of local mobile commerce solution introduced in

the country. The success of the financial services available in the country can be judged by the fact that by December 2010, Telenor Easypaisa service has hosted 9.9 million transactions with a total worth of PKR 19billion passed through the system. On the similar ground, last year MCB was nominated among the top four best mobile money services category for GlobalGSMA Mobile Awards.

The Role of Mobile Banking in Pakistan


I. Strengths:

CBC-2011

One of the Main strength of mobile banking is its 24/7 availability. A customer who wants to avail Basic Banking Services can easily get benefits by it in anytime and anywhere in Pakistan. Mobile banking products are boosting the performance of banking and financial institutions as banking is now become very convenient and easy to understand. Account opening, Funds transfer and all other such financial services were never available in so easy way on the customers fingers tips as compare to few years before. No need to stand in queues at bank by having mobile banking customer every user can pay all his utility bills just by using his/her Mobile phone which is another strength of Mobile banking. The Overall cost of mobile banking is very Low as it is very beneficial for both Telco and Financial Institute. Another strength of Mobile banking is, its assistance to Government. Government can use it for various purposes for example collection of taxation and distribution of donations like recently done through UBL Omini for the disbursement of Benazir Income Support Program. And one of the most effective strength of mobile banking is that it is considered as one of the most effective tool to cover the large area of unbanked population in Pakistan.

II.

Weaknesses:
Mobile Banking is considered to an unsecure way of transaction as there are huge chances of fraudulence is always there. Its easy to get pin by fake SMS or Fake Call from the Mobile Banking user. Scope of mobile banking is very limited yet as the banking services offer through mobile banking are very much limited for example funds transfer limits are still very low. One of another weakness in Mobile Banking is lack of Awareness among people about these products still hundreds of people can be seen standing in queues in front of banks for number of basic banking services which can be easily acquire through mobile banking. A large portion of Pakistans Population in illiterate which is a reason that though the mobile banking products are still successful but still the level of trust and confidence of people is very low about Mobile Banking products. Another weakness of Mobile banking is its consumer cost. For example for customer who sends money by using funds transfer service have to pay high transfer charges as compare to bank branch.

III. Opportunities:

CBC-2011

More than 102 million of mobile subscribers and only more than 80% of unbanked

population indicates the huge and effective number of opportunities for mobile banking products in Pakistan it proper strategy applied. The increasing interest and competition among Telecom companies is providing another opportunity to Mobile Banking products to flourish rapidly. Over 175 thousands transactions of average 3700 PKR by two large Mobile banking service providers is indicating an increase in public interest in Mobile banking services. Large multinational financial companies like VISA are also working on Mobile banking Products which is also an opportunity. Government support by using mobile banking services for the disbursement of donations also shows and opportunity for this product in coming few years.

IV.

Threats:
Lack of awareness among people about Mobile Banking can be a threat in long terms for these products. Intense competition among Mobile banking providers can also be a threat for Mobile banking. Security is one of the biggest threat to mobile banking as most of the people do not consider it a secure way. Hacking and system failure can also be threat for mobile banking. As few years back ufone customers faced extreme problem due to network failure as their main head office got burnt by fire. So proper planning must be needed to impose.

12.

Conclusion:

Mobile banking is an innovation which is helping banks and other financial institutions to achieve which was once consider to be something unachievable, the way it is supporting the growth of economy is really very appreciable. The role of Mobile banking as an innovation is leading the developing country like Pakistan to redesign a new and modified of economy. Although there are some hurdles that are slowing down the progress of mobile banking for example lack of awareness, trust and confidence of people but still the growth rate is above the mark. In coming few years it can be estimated and predicted that a large portion of unbanked population will be served not only mobile banking services but also enjoy other financial services as well like insurance, mobile wallet etc. All these signs are actually the evidences of the proof that mobile banking as an innovation today is the future legacy for strong and healthy economies. So as far as Pakistan is concern current performance of mobile banking products is
IM Sciences Product: Mobile Banking Page 34

CBC-2011

very successful. Currently Telenors Easypaisa is largest mobile banking service product with 12600 outlets which are even more than total commercial bank branches that are working in all over the Pakistan but as it is supported by a microfinance bank named Tameer Bank Ltd so though its current performance is outstanding but on long term UBL Omni is much more successful as it is supported by a commercial bank i-e United Bank Limited. Upayment is also a newly launched mobile banking service which has limited scope till yet as it is performing its operations on small scale by the support of Soneri Bank, Habib Bank and SUMMIT Bank but it is still in its early phase. Mobilink has recently acquired a Microfinance bank i-e Waseela bank to provide complete mobile banking services currently it is working with Paksitan Post office, and MCB to provide mobile banking and financial Services on limited scale. Whereas last year MCB was nominated among the top four best mobile money services category for Global GSMA Mobile Awards. So it may not be wrong to conclude that mobile banking is one of the most leading and effective product not only in present but in future as well.
