A believer still

I've always been a believer in the inevitability of mobile payments. As with all beliefs they waver with events along the way so sometimes I wondered if I would be around to ever see it. I came back from holiday and the company was owned by VISA. At Mobile Money Summit it wasn't outrageous claims but small and real uses of mobile payments taking the stage to be celebrated. Now this week with a trip to India, some calls from Indonesia, and a look at the developing bKash.com website in Bangladesh I have to say my spirits are higher than ever. The best thing is it's not from hype but from legitimate action based on rational reasons with tempered expectations. So back to work we go.
