Mobile payment is an electronic payment made through a mobile device. As the number of mobile phone subscribers in Ghana increases, so does the market for mobile money services. The majority of Ghanaians lack any formal bank account. An estimated 80 percent of Ghanaians are “unbanked” – meaning they conduct their transactions outside the banking sector with no access to financial services. Products like “mobile money,” that enable safe and secure money transfers without the use of a bank account, could have a major impact on this unserved segment of the population. Mobile money gives anyone with a mobile phone the ability to transfer money, make cash payments and conduct other financial transactions over the phone. Currently, there are four mobile money payment systems in Ghana, namely, MTN mobile money, Vodafone (VF) cash, Tigo cash and Airtel money. For an effective operation of these systems, Privacy, Traceability, Cost of Transaction, and Simplicity of the Processes involved are of much interest. The study examined the loopholes in the current mobile payment systems and proposed a framework to address the loopholes such as: Entering of information on next of kin into the system during registration, acceptance of year of birth as PIN, transactional PIN decrypted, no entering of a Valid ID number into the system, no provision for security word during token cash out, no provision for guarantor information, no provision for BoG permit number, no provision for police clearance number, and data in transit not encrypted. Keywords: Transactions, mobile money, traceability

In recent years, the several trends are stable: growth in sales through mobile phones, increasing the share of cashless payments, access to the market for electronic payment companies that have never provided financial services before, and the simplification of tariff schedules. An important trend is the emergence of mobile payment systems, such as Apple Pay, Android Pay, Sam-sung Pay. Unfortunately, there are many myths around such services, as well as misunderstandings about how they work, for what they are in need, what they bring to the market, and whether they bring security and confidentiality. The presented material is devoted to the development of innovative technologies and services in the field of electronic payments. The relevance of the declared issue is determined by the active development of contactless payment technology in Russia, which is a good example of a symbiosis of the bank's work, payment system and telephone. Contactless payment with a mobile phone will be a step towards a denial of cash. The article reveals the essence of these payment systems, the features of their use, the competitive advantages of contactless mobile payment systems. Also, the authors discusses the implementation of these payment systems in Russia's realities, notes the problems that they may face in the process of implementation and use. The article uses methods of strategic analysis, content analysis, analysis of documents and observations. The features of the introduction and development of contactless mobile pay-ment systems identified during the research can be considered as a basis for further research in this field.

Purpose This paper aims to analyze the forfeiture regime under the Malaysian anti-money laundering law. Apart from discussing the relevant provisions, several court cases also were examined to identify the problems which arise in the implementation of such a powerful forfeiture regime. Design/methodology/approach This paper mainly relies on statutes and court cases as its primary sources of information. It is supported by secondary data to justify the analysis. This paper also used analytical descriptive approach to analyze relevant forfeiture provisions from statutes and to examine current court cases regarding the implementation of the forfeiture regime. Findings The Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act (AMLATFPUAA) provides comprehensive procedures for the forfeiture of criminal proceeds. Any limitations of the previous statutory legislations have been addressed, and more importantly, the AMLATFPUAA introduces more powerful and innovative measures that can facilitate the recovery of illegal proceeds from money laundering and any other serious crimes. The AMLATFPUAA also provides avenue for the bona fide third parties to contest the forfeiture order. However, it appears that such right is not easy to be enforced. Originality/value This paper provides an analysis of the forfeiture regime under Malaysian anti-money laundering laws. It is hoped that the content of this paper can provide some insight into this particular area for enforcement authorities, practitioners, academics, policymakers and legal advisers not only in Malaysia but also elsewhere. The findings of this paper also expose any weakness or lacunae in the aspects of application and implementation of the forfeiture regime. Thus, more effective and workable legal solution especially on the issue of civil forfeiture of criminal assets could be considered for further accomplishment.
