I'm proud to announce that we are an industry partner of Fintech Islands 2025 - https://www.fintechislands.com/.
This is absolutely one of the best conferences I have attended. Great content, speakers, people,and cultural activities.
Also, Barbados is a beautiful country and a hub for fintech innovation in the Caribbean.
A number of our members are attending - Viktoria Soltesz , Marcia Klingensmith , Jarryon Paul to name a few.
Still time to pack your bathing suit and jump on the plane to Fintech Islands.
I find the M-PESA model of combining physical money with electronic money fascinating in terms of how it has helped countries in Africa move money around in a controlled and safe way. Bringing an element of banking to a huge unbanked population.
What are your thoughts? Do you have other examples of e-money style services helping the underbanked / unbanked people of the world.

2/ The responsibility for that kind of fraud risk management framework rests with the telecom companies and the super agents (typically banks).

Hi, Angel. I investigated one of the first mobile money (M-PESA) cases in Uganda, Africa. From a fraud risk management perspective there are inherent risks at the bank level (super agent), the store level (agent), the customer level (end user), and even at the telecom itself. There are a lot of benefits for the unbanked to transfer minutes rather than pay cash for a transaction. In some countries, it is pervasive enough that they can buy a bus ticket, purchase groceries, pay for services, buy gas, etc. using this alternative remittance system (ARS). This is especially helpful to those that live in remove villages. My word of caution would be that this kind of ARS needs a fraud risk management framework just like any other asset.
