Summary

Learn from existing best practices – embed them well, and innovate where necessary

Invest appropriately – mobile money requires high upfront capital investment to succeed

Encourage positive regulatory change – work with regulators to create an environment in which mobile money services can reach low income customers in a sustainable way
