The Mobile Money West Africa Summit for the year 2012 has been scheduled to take place from 5 to 6 day of March 2012 at the Prestigious Lagos Orientals Hotel, Victoria Island – Lagos, Nigeria. The theme for this year's summit is "Mobilizing Money." A standing factor about the need for this summit is the fact that more than 150 million West Africans own a mobile phone under an addressable population of 300 million making the technology available to more than half of the population in a region where access to formal financial services are still limited to the urban and semi urban areas whereas more than 60 percent of the productive adult population still reside in the rural areas.

The Summit is also channeled on reaching the millions of Africans left behind in the Mobile Financial World. "Rural dwellers are still travelling significant distances to have access to basic financial services while some still maintain centuries old habits of keeping cash at home or handing it over to the village savings man in an unsecure and inefficient manner."

Mobile money offers a new exciting channel to reach new market segments, offer new services and drive adoption in one of Africa’s most populated regions, West Africa.

The summit will showcase new technologies, drivers of mobile financial services, innovations that are taking Banking services from the brick and mortar to the ubiquitous mobile phones.

The ubiquitous mobile phone offers a transformational experience for millions that are denied the opportunity of formal financial services, paying for goods and services from the comfort of the mobile phone, accessing remittance services, whenever and whenever.

Various Speakers from all walks of life will be converging at the Prestigious Lagos Orientals Hotel, Victoria Island-Lagos, Nigeria to speak and chart the directions in the emerging mobile financial ecosystem in West Africa.
