Impact story
Mobile money and financial crime
Based on research conducted by Professor Nicholas Ryder into mobile banking regulation, a telecom company have been able to contribute to growth in these emerging markets internationally. The research findings have enabled the company to understand the anti-money laundering and banking regulation implications of their mobile banking initiatives, giving them confidence and competitive advantage in negotiations by being fully versed in the local and international implications associated with mobile money and banking regulation. As a result, the company was able to successfully launch new subsidiaries, which, by bringing mobile money services to new markets, has had a significant impact on local economies and employment. A full summary is available from REF2014 website.
