Indian Mobile Money $350 Billion in Activity in 2015

Mobile phones are now poised to usher in mobile money as an everyday form of currency in India, with $350 billion of payments and banking transactions flowing through them by 2015.

Just over $235 billion of annual credit and debit card transactions occur in India today, a figure dominated by around $215 billion of cash withdrawals at ATMs.
