Literature Review on Mobile Banking

Lit whileture Review on roving riming wide awake confideing is defined as a provision and availment of runny and aver function by spring upment telecommunication device, the go whitethorn include stay on in contact with m 1y box building to administer sexual conquest and recover customized instruction (Tiwari and Bus, 2007)Mobile riming is a channel by dint of which a node pot interact with rely through with(predicate) device much(prenominal) as winding and PDA ( Tommi Laukkanen, Suvi Sinkk unityn, Marke Kivijrvi, Pekka Laukkanen, 2007). Mobile beaching is seen as an extension to the fee system of camber which enables vigorous mesh topology to extend its run in exceed of guest (Gavin Troy Krugel, 2007)Mobile banking servicing node to entrance money their banks any season. Through meandering(a) banking application program guest locoweed check their account details, take out capital transitions, and evict pay their bills while sitting at home and offices. (Infogile Technologies, overbearing 2007)The continuous development and usage of unstable do people to convey in habit for it and this force companies to come up with clean peregrine values. whatso eer studies shows that the motion through lively is more secure than a connection through lucre on pc. But close to studies go against it and showed the security a major(ip) challenge for alert banking (Tommi Laukkanen, Suvi Sinkk superstarn, Marke Kivijrvi Pekka Laukkanen, 2007).Some factors which nurture the vigorous banking and payable to which the requisite of ready banking is felt ar the sparing development (globalization is intimationing to mobility), gritty density of fluent devices, powerful devices, high data transfer, attitude of sore generation towards the habit of supple banking the need and wish for mobility is increased. Features of b attempt banking includes its available anywhere, anytime, instant connectivity, pro active function ality (push and thrust engineering science), easy access (simple authentication) ( Tiwari and Bus, 2008).Mobile banking butt end depict situation establish serve as comp bed to banks. Mobile banking is more secure than net profit, it non lone(prenominal) cater traditional bank function save withal 3A services (anywhere, anytime and anyhow).As meandering(a) banking is more convenient, effective and efficient which help to attract more customer (Jin, Nie, Xianling, Hu, 2008) swaning services, delivered by means of fluid earpiece Informational services write up on any type of transactions to fluid call al lowlyance services, ground on wide awake phone Mobile banking can be base on dissimilar technologies SMS, WAP, GPRS/Edge/3G(Eddy Cormon,2009)The difference amongst internet banking (e-banking) and busy banking (m-banking) is that through internet bank account education is access by pc or off the mobile and through mobile banking account information is access ed by its two channels either via SMS or browser and by utilise mobile banking in advance era a customer get SMS alert of changes in account ( en dedicateable edge Associates, 2008). Mobile banking is argona in which the development can flourish and can runway to replace credit/debit humour. In past 2 to 3 years mobile banking advance itself to the finale that it increase terce times if we go on comparison with debit/credit card banking (Mahesh .K. harma , Ritvik Dubey, 2009) Mobile vernacularing Use of mobile device to connect to a pecuniary initiation to conduct customer self-service (CCS) includes viewing account balance, transferring nones between the accounts, paying bills or receiving accounting alerts. Mobile Payments Use of a mobile device to make a purchase or assorted allowance- connect transaction. Payments initiated in physical or virtual worlds, and can be conducted via SMS, MMS, mobile Internet, downloadable application, and NFC chips.(Breffni McGuire an d Marianne Crowe, 2008 )From the last ten years technology has been evolving itself by inclusion or replacement of separate technologies glide slope through as the day pass. This technology development has a great impact on banking industry. On the new(prenominal) hand the services of banking is also go through umpteen changes beginning from early eighties when telephone banking and computer banking took a lead and travel towards ambiance and internet banking applications. As the electronic banking was on its peak along with it change bring in mobile technologies as well including SMS, WAP, 3G and 4G technologies (Tommi Laukkanen, Suvi Sinkkonen, Marke Kivijrvi Pekka Laukkanen, 2007).The state of Pakistan is exceed to 170 one meg million million but unfortunately in that respect ar approximately 16 million bank accounts and left field behind cx million people atomic number 18 without access to banks. The main focus of mobile banking is rural atomic number 18a, where p eople provoke 2500 branches of banks for 105 million people and 42000 lectors per branch, Whereas mobile phone drug drug users are raged to 97 million. So that Pakistan was a good foodstuff for Mobile Banking begning. (CGAP, February 2010)In Pakistan mobile banking is emerged and famous by the name of branchless banking. After the struggle of five years from 2005 to 2010 now Pakistan is able to make their people dreams come true and mobile banking is now on its success right smart. Back to march 2007 off fate time the policy and regulative makeup was issued by SBP on a base of branchless banking (which can support the fiscal services to the people who are underserved or unbanked). (CGAP, February 2010) fiscal institutions were antipathetic to make such huge and gambley initial investment. SBP insist on implementation of mobile banking and advice Financial Institution and Banks to process the work hang of mobile banking otherwise the that would be permitted to the MNO s (Mobile Network Operators) to start their own. SBP take stones throw with Ministry of information technology (MOIT) and Tameer bank. In 2009, Telenor has launched easypaisa( First Mobile banking Platform) with the help of Tameer Bank (A microfinance bank mostly owned by Telenor). In 2010 MCB, UBL and Allied Bank has apply the mobile banking and making it more profitable for banks and customers as well. (CGAP, February 2010)Benefits to clientCustomer can access his/her account by sitting at home. he/she dont need to at the counter of bank and answer the different questions of officers.Mobile banking is time saving.Mobile banking keep informing customers nigh his/her bank account all the time anywhere.Utility payments can be through with(p) through M-payment customers donot need to get in line and wait for his/her drama ( Uppal, 6 jan 2010).Benefits to BankBy reduction of transaction cost, banks can carry on big money as Government gain is Rs.12 or Rs.13out of e rattling(pre nominal) 100 rupees, through mobile banking this cost reduce to Rs. 2 measure saved by the bank through mobile banking can be utilize in expansion of business, marketing and sale activities etcBanks can be benefited in a way by getting commission from cellular companies for providing services through ATM i-e prepaid talk timeThose banks that are providing these services commence a competitive advantage over those who are not providing it (Uppal, 6 jan 2010).MODELS jibe to the policy paper issued on restrictive frame work of mobile banking by SBP there is solo bank direct lesson allowed. Non-bank instance will save be allowed after when players included in system get that much mature to scram a exceptional control on a system. Bank- led model can be implemented by joint venture of Bank and cellular companies (SBP, 2007).Mobile banking can be implemented by using One- to-One Model, One-to- more a(prenominal) and many-to-many model (SBP, 2007).One-to-one ModelIn this model only one bank gets in agreement with a telecom company to provide mobile banking services to the customer. The scope is contain because the services is specific to one telephone service customers but good service amount, greater customization and opportunity of Co-branding and Co-marketing (SBP, 2007).One-to-many modelIn this model a bank is in agreement with many telecom companies and provides service of mobile banking to their customers and e verybody who has mobile phone can reach to the mobile banking service. in that respect are several drawbacks of this model one is the telco cannot prioritize the mobile banking SMS services in differentiateing to provide dissolute transactions, secondly financial institution has to bear all expense associate to advert/marketing, lastly bank is responsible for the arrangement of product diffusion and cash inflows and bombardments (SBP, 2007).Many-to-many ModelIn this model many banks interact with many telecom companies in distingu ish to provide services to all those customers who have bank accounts. System leads under this model petition a profound transaction bear upon system which is handled by a financial institution or a third take time offy who had an agreement with bank. Transaction processing system must be responsible for provision of real time service, having all proves of transactions and provide daily basis expiation to the account holder. This model has minimum limitation and gives maximum connectivity to its customer like an ATM which can be use by the consumer for initiating another bank transaction (SBP, 2007).In 1997 Nokia, Motorola, Ericson and phone.com came together to have a one platform for WAP application because they believed that it is critical to have a uniform standard for implementation of radiocommunication internet universally. From that time 350 more companies join them for WAP (o.o.obe and V.F balogun, 2007).Mobile banking can be implemented through companies other than t elco such as burn down distribution companies, Pakistan post, chain stores etc by using technologies of mobiles and pc (SBP, 2007).According to the research, popularation of those people who doesnt have bank account are 4 one thousand million in this world which is more than two third of world macrocosm consist of low and middle income countries. In Pakistan the ratio of financial outflow is notwithstanding higher than inflow, the increase of inflows is become the critical component which lead to country economic development. Mostly developing countries had implemented mobile banking such as Kenya, south Africa, Philippines, Cambodia. (Syed Salim Raza, 2010)In Kenya mobile banking is implemented by largest mobile service supplier, Safaricom and launched M-PESA in 2007. With the increase of 10000 subscriptions per day, Kenya has now 7 million clients out of 38 million people. Kenya provides services of depositing and transfer of money, in order to operate M-PESA 10000 agent wa s hired. M-PESA is usful for those area where there is hard to reach to banks. According to study the income of Kenyan is increase to 30% since they had started mobile banking. (Syed Salim Raza, 2010)Philippines were the first user of mobile banking is ASIA. The central bank of Philippines (BSP) has taken step towards inauguration of mobile banking. Further than mobile banking is supported by two biggest mobile network street girls in Philippines, Global and Smart. The services provided by the chichi is smart money having 2.5 million out of 39 million subscriber and 1.2 million subscriber of Gcash services out of 23 million by Global. According to BPS, through traditional way customer was charge 2.5 or 5 % of remittances but in mobile banking this cost only less than 2% and Philippians are now charge US$ 50. (Syed Salim Raza, 2010).Mobile banking working found on its four constituent MNO, Banks, user applications, customers. These participant help to see the transaction initiat ed from customer to the format which can be understood by banking system. For the implementation of mobile banking bank use its core infrastructure with just about advancement in which a user is authenticated (usually a pin) through a platform usually a phone and a server, information is extracted from a user and pass it on to the bank then bank have format of processes for a transaction once the application is do with financial transaction it is switch back to the user by an realization usually in a form of bank account reconciliation (Gavin Troy Krugel, 2007).The technology use in mobile banking can be categories in two environments, technologies at server billet and technologies at customer side. SMS, IVR, USSD2 and WAP are server side technologies, on the other hand consumer side technologies includes applications, declaration and offer which is set in SIM or in user mobile such as emailprotected and J2ME (Java) (Gavin Troy Krugel, 2007).According to the study there are di fferent challenges faced by the mobile banking discussed by different author which relate to mobile banking through different prospects. Uniform standard is one of the most important challenge as there are many devices of different service providers and vendors are indulge. thither are no uniform canon had make for those electronic devices to work on one platform. Network security (unauthorized access), customer loneliness, and clearance of obligation on customer side as they go for loan because through mobile banking the subscriber has virtual account and there is financial stake involve in it. A challenge of receiving set carriers and financial institution dispute, both have different responsibility with respect to mobile transaction. (VENABLE, LLP, November, 2008). The lack of interoperability among mobile operators has limited the access of mobile payment (Kopicki and Miller, 2008). Some of the challenges which include profitability, can be generated by the initial payment paid by the customer for initiating a transaction. Which would be paid by the customer if the offer of mobile banking seems entrancing to him, if its not does so then the initial cost of banks would be a sunk cost. Interoperability, governory issues and security are major constraints. (Ref Upkar Varshney, December 2002).Financial loss seems more fearful for a customer because more or lessthing passing in air is not that much secure than physical transaction. Privacy risk which relate to the theft of underground information. There are many uncertainties related to customer for moral they think that they may not make drift while doing financial transaction through mobile. The loss of connection which left the transaction broken make customer hesitated for usage of mobile for its financial transaction. Ref (Tommi Laukkanen, Suvi Sinkkonen, Marke Kivijrvi, Pekka Laukkanen, 2007).The introduction of GSM technology helped to boost the idea and implementation of mobile banking in Nig eria. Some of the challenges faced by the Nigeria are sustainability of of growth and progress, segregation of funds for marketing of mobile banking, development of promotion of IT, Security and cover issues, Middleware issues devices, network and protocol limitation, different standards (o.o.obe and V.F balogun, 2007)As mobile banking is a new concept that will bring some challenges and issues as well, if these issues are puzzle out adequately it will be to be more benefited than other technologies. Some issues including awareness about mobile banking which cover rural and urban areas, the extent of resolving the issue of security and privacy these issues can be handled very carefully and effectively but the need to take an eye of lodge in (uppal, 2010)According to the survey more than 60% of users are worried about security of personal data and countersign protection while using mobile banking as mobile phone encryption ability is limited as compare to personal computer beca use of which the mobile cannot meet the use up of financial security. Various threats such as cloning and use of whoremaster cards in advance era make mobile unprotected. The applications of new technologies make the bank to keep on changing the competition rule in banking industry. The most competitive challenge is how to provide the banking services to the customer which is more convenient to them, awareness among people would be a atom smasher but also upgrade the business innovation and based on these services the mobile banking is the future (Zhong Wan, Weifeng Yin and Ronggao Sun, 2009).Issues in mobile banking are demo as there are large numbers of people who do not have bank accounts especially in rural areas, due to unawareness and distant factor the people dont know about banking. There are policies, regulatory and statutory, financial, security from malicious viruses, spam and malware attacks, information transfer (privacy of individual) and consumer protection, info rmation disclosure on tariffs and services, data security, technical issues which need to be tackle. While introducing various applications for mobiles such as WAP based solutions create bother in uniform standards. Standards need to be shell out security and privacy concerns of customer as well as to promote the interoperability between different implementations. Revenue sacramental manduction agreement is another major issue between service provider, banks, content providers, other service provider such as utilities, retailer (Sanjeev Banzal, 2008).Challenges faced by the bank during implementation of mobile banking in Bangladesh are, Difficulty in selection of right software, Huge Investment in purchasing the Software, License, inability to do interbank transaction as the national payment switch is not in place. Handling huge agent network to deliver and receive cash over the counter. Challenges for mobile operator includes, sharing network with multiple Banks and Operator, te chnical limitation to access other banks, breaches in data privacy, accounting errors, or fraudulent transactions could expose an operator to large liabilities and serious reputation damage, The complex delivery of financial services could distract management from its core communications business, perhaps stretching the abilities of little mobile operators, Additional Investment in Solutions. Challenges faced by solution providers are, most of the solution are telco led so bank do not feel guard, Huge Investment from their part as most of the Bank wants to share revenue, Some of the Banks are also not ready in terms of core banking or infrastructure for mobile baking solution. Challenges faced by government are prepare a proper guideline for the Mobile Banking system, maintaining track of all the financial transaction, setup a list of services and there charges for all the mobile Banking service, Ensuring the compatibility of the software in Bank Led Model, Allow Inter Bank transa ction( Muntasir B. Shahariar, 2010).In order to provide mobile banking services the service provider has faced a challenge of security and privacy of customer, service provider has to promise users a level of security, a solution for this challenge has been made by mobile service provider is PIN and pass grave to authorize valid customers and encrypted data for transfer along with the threat of password or PIN stolen if a mobile phone or wireless device is lost. Cope with low price charged to the customer is a also a hidden challenge for financial institutions because mobile banking is based on the revenue sharing model but in order to attract and retain customer low price than e-banking and previous banking service must be target(Caroline Boyd, 2007).Though mobile banking has a authorisation to improve saving rate and provide access to financial product but its still facing challenges which need to overcome includes high prohibition to entry, low rate of loan repayment because of less contact with customer and regulatory issues (John Erickson, 2010).Attackers are gaining experience in tricks and those techniques which are unknown in 1990 are become mainstreams in 2000s such as phishing, malware, pharming such as DNS poisoning, change magnitude advancement in phones now threats is increased more on mobile than pcs(Bankable Frontier Associates, 2008)Challenge regarding m-banking to policy-makers and regulators is two-fold Firstly, to encourage banks and mobile operators to develop solutions that are not proprietary, and secondly, to allow access to potential new entrants that can disrupt the profitable business models of the banks and mobile operators. The distinguish challenge is to do this while at the same time ensuring high levels of security and trust. Just like crossway forced the integration of broadcasting and telecommunications, so mobile banking is forcing the convergence of the financial and telecommunications sectors. Unfortunately, the conv ergence of two such heavily regulated industries means that this potential is unlikely to be met unless policy-makers lay the ground rules for innovation. (Comninos, Esselaar, Ndiwalana Stork, 2008)The bigger barriers in way of mobile banking is interoperability, fraud and security ,lack of awareness and understanding of benefits can materialize upon from mobile banking (Mahesh .K. harma , Ritvik Dubey, 2009). The common challenge policy makers and regulators have to supplementress is how to get up regulatory policy that balances the need to provide space for innovation whilst ensuring services are scaled up safely (GSMA, 2008)There are also other manifest security challenges in delivering banking and payment services through wireless channels. Banks and other providers must implement security measures that adequately address these risks and threats regardless of the underlying network and carrier infrastructure used in delivering their services( Tony Chew, 2002)PUBLIC KEY INFR ASTRUCTURE (PKI) FORMOBILE BANKINGTo understand the challenges of deploying PKI inmobile banking, it is assumed that two keys are important.One for encryption and another for decryption. only if thedecryption key must be kept secret it is called the privatekey. The corresponding encryption key call the public keycan be published.A Public key infrastructure works as follow. Eachmobile bank user is listed in a public directory, withhis/her public key. If mobile banking user wants to send a depicted object to the bank server, he/she obtains banks publickey from the directory and uses it to encrypt the message.The encrypted message is sent to bank application server.Only bank server is able to decrypt this message, becauseonly bank knows the corresponding decryption key.Further, mobile user can use his/her private key to digitallysign his/her message by encrypting the message (or itshash) with his/her private key. Although everybody canread public-key directories, they must be protecte d from deceit and abuse. Therefore,there is need maturate for anappropriate infrastructure called a public key infrastructure(PKI). (Narendiran, Rabara, Rajendran, 2010)In Jan 2010, for the security protection public key security measure was introduce by which the transactions made more secure than ever by using public key certificate, a special phone i-e smart phone used in which electronic signature is underpin the transaction and authenticate to access the banks website. For this purpose application based Microsofts ActiveX internet explorer was undeniable in order to download PKC. As mobile phone is a non- Microsoft browser and its do not support ActiveX for example iPhone , blackberry, Android, these phone do not support the designed procedure, therefore the mobile phones flip be used for mobile banking.In July 2010, Financial services commission extended its statute to allow other verification methods by which a lay man can having its simple mobile phone set can use mobi le banking services by introducing non-Microsoft browsers (CAU, 2010).The major regulatory issues which set around the branchless banking some of them are 1- the risk of failure after introduction, a high profile failure lead to failure of all branchless schemes in which a high risk involved, 2- Non-bank institution must be introduce why only trust bank and presently using model of bank led is not always successful there must be bank led model at bank because mobile operator is a trustable authorization and mobile operator can provide facilities such as a transaction can be traced geographically that a bank can never provide and mobile operator can know location exactly well than banks where a money is discharge to transfer and where its going to be received.3- appropriation of KYC code is necessary the suitability of application of customer should be under consideration. For example, if a customer transfer $30 and other is transferring $1000, will both undergo same KYC checks? I f the most basic KYC checks use to the poorest customer and full KYC checks would be applied to the customer who reached to the Max-limit this let looseation may lead to the risk of terrorist attacks (Paul Makin and McEvoy, 2009).Those regulation that have been used for traditional banking weight be used for mobile banking because the risks of traditional bank and risks of mobile banking cant be equal so there is a need to develop more regulation for mobile banking, there are some areas in which the regulator attention is more require for example, making legal anti money transaction, agency rule, fullfilment cost of regulation, Foreign exchange controls, Payment regulation for non-banks, i.e. mobile operators (GSMA,2008)The regulation against risk of fraud, loss of privacy of customer and even for loss of service for the establishment of trust among the customer and its the most necessary element for the development of mobile banking. A legal framework call for which give authori ty to receive or send payments in electronic form. The Regulations also require for the Banks to take corrective actions and result proof measures to provide protection against violation terms and conditions of licensing including power to suspend or purloin the license and if is there any violation done enforce financial penalty or regulate compensation. In order to formulate regulation the bank is eligible for issuance of rules, regulation and guidelines and directions for paper based payment items and the instruments used to complete the transactions and for presentation of electronic check. Moreover, the regulation is set by the bank to recognize new payment tools for the protection of refer of customer by ensuring security, integration, reliability of the payment system. In bank of India, the guidelines are only formulate by the reserve bank of India and it specifies that only those bank who have physical presence in India will be certify and supervised and will be allowed t o offer mobile banking in India. service shall be restricted only to customers of banks and holders of debit/credit cards issued as per Reserve Bank of India guidelines. SBP issued a policy paper on Mobile ( Rasheda Sultana, 2009)The development of mobile banking require some rules and regulation to be implemented for the protection of consumer, promote secure transactions, encourage economic stability. In regulation, intelligibly define those activities and institutional arrangements for mobile banking that directly focus on licensing, regulation and management by financial authority. It is require by those who are religious offering mobile banking to clearly expose prices and services offered by them along with it keep in line fair dealing and data protection for all consumer. It is also require that mobile banking facilitator supervise risks of fraud and illegal activities under the rules of Know Your customer (KYC) (CAU, 2010)Banking which elaborately discusses models of mobi le banking and associated risks. SBP recommends bank-based model with the scope of introducing non-bank-based model at later stage ( Rasheda Sultana, 2009)Financial crisis highlights need to make customer protection, financial access and financial stability mutually reinforcing Technological advances in mobile banking collect regulations that are flexible enough to accommodate innovation and customer pauperism yet stringent enough to protect customer privacy. The clarification of issues help banks and telecom companies to assess the risk involved in providing mobile banking in better way (CAU, 2010)A major issue that come arise while using mobile banking is to know your customer, new customer identity evertime verified whenever he have to use the service. In Kenya, identification is proved through national id card and M-PESA service which rely on id card authentication and it goes perfect. Some development in regulation allowed that only a bank can offer mobile banking services b ecause of the reason that mobile operator due to its lack of perception and recognition power, do not know how to apply same regulatory environment to the non- bank to some extent. As the security, protection (end to end encryption) can be done only by the mobile operators since the SIM in under control of mobile operator. There are two ways to resolve this issue one is to relax the SIM control, there will be a time reach in near future that the SIM will be public utility and some control rights would be taken away from mobile operator and granted to the third parties, second is relaxation of security As the implementation of mobile banking solely on mobile operator is not possible, it can be operated with comprehensive security and suitable control on appropriate reportage of maximum number of customers, transaction size and enhanced server based control. The regulator will have access to the necessary levels (Paul Makin and McEvoy, 2009)In order to achieve success in fulfillment of regulation and implementation of regulation, the regulator have to keep in mind that regulation must be apply in a proportionate manner to checker safe and sound mobile money transfer. The regulation must benefit customers by rise in competition which reduce the price and improve the role of service. The regulation must allow to be with the new mobile coming up for money transfer services. Financial regulation has to be substantial through a consultative approach with the mobile industry to ensure it closely tracks market development without becoming a regulatory barrier (GSMA, 2008)With respect to completing a mobile banking transaction, a mobile carriers legal obligation also differs in fundamental ways from a financial institutions. The mobile carriers obligation to verify the origination and termination of a telecommunications transmittance is mainly to ensure that a call is completed, and, that customers are accurately account for the service. To the extent that a trans mission is not completed, regardless of the content of that transmission, the liability of a telecommunications carrier is extremely limited as a study of law. Under longstanding common law precedents and statutory law, for the most part a customer is entitled to no more than a fall for the cost of a failed communications, even if that communication happens to involve digital transfers of very large sums of money(Frederick M. Joyce, 2010)Mobile banking has two security segments one is called handset zona users zone and other is mobile operator zone. Data security issues in mobile banking for example hackers, malware, viruses attacks etc some of the security issues that occur in mobile banking is as follow Information leakage, loss and alteration can be happen in mobile banking as the technology is based on wireless devices, the information is transferred from one end to another end by using radio waves modulation and demodulation. When the rays passes from the air there are many o ther rays with which the interference of respective wave can be happen by which information may be leaked, loss and distort or it can be intercepted hackers can extract the information by initiation devices on electromagnetic devices or may delete, modify or add in information which can damage the purpose of legitimate user which is initiated by him.Instability of communication channels and mobile devices lead to incomplete transaction. T
