MMU Publishes Glossary of Mobile Money Terminology
Posted: July 13th, 2010 | viewed: (1,703) | Comments: ( 2 ) | Topic: Insight |
To welcome newcomers to mobile money, to facilitate effective dialogue among industry participants, and to communicate with the public and other stakeholders, the mobile money for the unbanked programme is today releasing a set of definitions of mobile money terminology.
In drafting these definitions, we have sought to reflect the most common usage of these terms, rather than advocating for meanings that we prefer. Therefore, in a few cases, we have listed multiple definitions for terms that are commonly used to mean more than one thing. We will be embedding these definitions into the fabric of this blog: you will be able to hover over any term that is underlined twice to see our definition. There is also a printable PDF version of the definitions below.
We look forward to hearing your feedback, either on the wiki or in the comments section of this post.
