Mobile Money Global Awards
Fiserv received the Innovation in Mobile Value-Added Services award at
the Mobile Money Global Awards in recognition of Popmoney. The awards,
presented during the Mobile Money & Digital Payments Summit in Dubai,
celebrate organizations that have worked to establish and deploy
successful mobile money programs across the world. The shortlist was

that has been most innovative in developing new services and finding new
ways to deliver them via the mobile channel.
Mobile Excellence Awards
Fiserv also received the Best Mobile Payment award for Popmoney at the
prestigious cross-industry Mobile Excellence Awards in Marina del Rey,
Calif. These awards recognize industry excellence in all segments of the
mobile ecosystem, from mobile business to mobile entertainment. The Best
Mobile Payment award honors a company that has developed an outstanding
mobile payment solution with the winner being chosen based on strategic
initiative, impact of technology used in the industry, creativity, ease
of use and reach, and execution and proven success in the market.
"With so many third-party providers entering the person-to-person
payments market, it's important for financial institutions to offer and
promote their own personal payment options," said Marc West, senior vice

that the majority of consumers prefer to make these types of payments
using their bank account. Popmoney positions our financial institutions
clients to stay competitive in this new environment, enabling their
customers to use their computer or a mobile device to pay each other
using their existing bank accounts."
Popmoney is currently available via a network of 2,000 U.S. banks and
credit unions and at Popmoney.com.
Mobile apps are also available for Apple®, Android™ and

money to and receive money from friends, family and others they know or
