Mobile Currencies bridge the resource gap that students are referring to when they say that they don't have the resources to shop online, but they have still got some way to go in earning students' trust as an alternative payment method. Mobile currencies, like mimoney, allow anyone to purchase goods using their mobile phone, whether it be online or in-store. As with all new emerging technologies, the challenge is about gaining people's attention and trust. And as far as cell phone payments are concerned, 1 in 5 students don't appear to trust this payment method ..... yet. This according to the latest SA Student Spending Report. The good news for mobile currencies however, is that - with good brand messaging, advertising and word of mouth, what we've previously seen earlier as major infuencers - it will only be a matter of time until students and the greater population adopt this as the payment norm.
