Synopsis

Archived report. This report was archived in 2010 and has not been updated since. In 2010 the interest surrounding Near Field Communications for m-commerce and m-payments continues unabated, with further trials and roll-outs occurring around the world. Financial transactions via mobile phones are also set to rise substantially in the coming years as banks and mobile operators continue to work together.

This report provides information on key trends and broad global statistics for the m-commerce sector, including m-payments and m-banking.
