Consumers continue to rely heavily on their phones to complete such
tasks as transferring funds between banks or accounts, depositing
or withdrawing funds, paying bills, and purchasing items. Mobile
money users are oftentimes more financially resilient and can
protect themselves better against economic and other shocks.

circulation because it reduces the transactions and time costs of
making retail payments. As such, understanding the impact of mobile
payments is imperative for businesses and the economy. Impact of

reference source that provides vital research on mobile money
transfer and its impact in social, corporate, and micro- and
macro-policies concerning the aggregate economy and individual
households as a whole within an economy. It covers the impact,
innovations, business-to-business transformations, regulatory
framework, challenges, and ethical issues surrounding mobile money
transfers around the world. This book is ideally designed for
economists, financial analysts, business managers, leaders,
scholars, practitioners, researchers, and students in fields that
