Abstract

Innovative services like mobile payments are potentially transformative because they can increase access to financial services, especially in developing countries. However, such innovations can disrupt the financial services ecosystem which prompts regulators to respond in different ways. These regulatory responses often have a significant impact on the take-off of such innovative services. Using Nigeria's regulatory approach as a case study, this article highlights specific lessons which should inform future attempts at regulating mobile payments.
