Mobile Money on Three Continents
A discussion of technology for mobile money transfers in Africa, Latin America, and the U.S.
Chris Njunge, recent CLU MS-IST graduate and now Ph.D. student at Claremont University, will introduce M-Pesa, a service that enables its users to complete basic banking transactions via mobile devices in Kenya and Nigeria without visiting a bank. Xavier Marin, current MS-IST student at CLU, will introduce a similar service via mobile devices used to transfer money to Latin America from the United States.
Food and refreshments will be served prior to the presentations. Following the presentations, there will be time for the audience to ask questions and for networking. We look forward to seeing you there. Non-members are welcome – invite a friend!
