Task Forces & Workgroups

 

Mobey Forum’s workgroups work to analyze the current business, market and security environments in a neutral and independent manner. The groups meet on bi-weekly calls and face-to-face at workgroup days at member meetings to discuss a specific topic in mobile financial services. They help Mobey members to navigate sometimes complex sources of information. Mobey Forum is open for all technologies and business models, and works to prevent any type of ‘tunnel-vision’ in mobile financial services industry.

 

All Mobey Forum members are eligible to participate in the Task Forces which provide a platform for strategic discussion and collaboration on an area of interest. These groups are then dissolved once the assigned aim has been achieved. If you are interested in joining a Task Force or a Workgroup, please get in touch with Sirpa Nordlund sirpa.nordlund(at)mobeyforum.org
