Mobile payments seem to be the future of finance. Banks and other financial and quasi-financial service providers are partnering with technology companies to allow consumers to transact using electronic gadgets within the confines of their homes or in conditions of their choice. Among the many technological advancements that abound, mobile money is more likely to have a huge impact on the economies of sub-Saharan Africa. This book looks at the legal aspects of regulating mobile money. A law-in-context approach is undertaken, with insights drawn both from practice and scholarly perspectives. Unlike most works that have written on the subject, the book takes a rather different approach, examining issues that are interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary on law, technology and finance. The book provides a critical analysis of novel challenges regarding the regulation of “new forms of money” such as mobile money.
