(PRWEB) October 09, 2014 -- Over 150 executives are set to come together at the Mobile Payments Latin America Summit 2014 (December 2-3, Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove, Miami, FL, USA). This year, there will be a special focus on successful case studies in order to understand how to deliver convenient & reliable mobile money solutions to make the migration to mobile a reality.
In the last year alone mobile revenues in Latin America grew by 9%, coming in second among the world’s fastest growing regions. This coupled with rapidly rising smartphone penetration rates and the introduction of new services and solutions enabled by the adoption of mobile connectivity, Latin America is poised for mobile payments success.

Mobile Payments Latin America 2014 Summit, project director, Ina Vaduvescu stated, “The mobile money industry in Latin America currently sits at an exciting tipping point. With a cash driven economy, a vast population unserved by formal financial services and high rates of mobile phone adoption, all the ingredients are there for success.” She continued, “This is the event where the industry will come together to debate how to overcome the infrastructural barriers, including poor network coverage and a lack of standardization that stand in the way of creating an interoperable and reliable mobile money platform in Latin America.”
