General Question

Money transfer or ‘remittance’ refers to cashless modes of payment or payment systems: Electronic funds transfer, which is an umbrella term mostly used for bank card-based payments; wire transfer, which is an international bank-to-bank funds transfer; or Giro, also known as direct deposit.
An MSB is any individual or organisation that does business, acting as one of the following:
  • Currency or foreign exchange dealer
  • Cheque casher
  • Issuer of traveller’s cheques, money orders, or stored value
  • Seller or redeemer of traveller’s checks, money orders, or stored value
  • Money transmitter
  • e-Wallet/e-Money/m-Wallet issuer, remitter or transmitter.
In short, you need to register and obtain a license, have a enough starting capital and obtain a transactional bank account.

On top of that you need to put in place good operational, record-keeping and accounting systems and be able to report clearly on all your transactions.

MTA provides the technology, security and infrastructure to allow for branchless banking services.
An Electronic or Mobile Wallet is an encrypted storage medium that holds credit card and other financial information and can be used to complete electronic transactions without having to re-enter the stored data at the time of the transaction.

m-Wallets work much like prepaid credit cards and top up cards. They need to be loaded with money prior to use and then funds held on the m-Wallet are securely accessed directly from the mobile phone.

This makes it incredibly quick and convenient to use as a method of payment, typically using your mobile phone, through a simple SMS text or via Near Field Communication (NFC).

It is highly secure and requires either a PIN number or fingerprint identification to access on your smartphone so you don’t have to worry about compromised financial information if you lose your phone.
Digital currency or digital money is an internet-based way of exchanging value, similar to physical money but without physical properties (i.e. there are no tangible bank notes or coins for the currency). It allows for carrying out instant transactions and borderless transfer-of-ownership. It uses decentralised ledger, which means that original ledger is updated and copied everywhere, instantly. It has two main technologies to prevent fraud (from double-spend and unique access to ledger) – ‘proof of work’ and ‘elliptic curves’. Bitcoin was the first decentralised digital currency created 2009 and it has had mixed reception and reviews. Advantages of digital money:
  • Fast – the ‘velocity’ of money
  • Weighs nothing and you don’t have to carry it around
  • Programmable
  • Internet-ready
  • International and borderless
  • Allows for easy accounting
  • Cheap – no government issuance and protection etc,
  • No fees for use of technology – uses open source code
  • Fuel for permissionless innovation – no need to ask to use it.
Weakness of digital money:
  • No cash, only access to ledger units, as a blockchain
  • Truly public, no privacy at all.
  • Still an infant currency and is relatively easy to steal and is unstable
