Introduction

Since M-PESA, the first African mobile money platform, was launched by Safaricom in Kenya in 2007, the growth of mobile money transfer has adopted a quantum leap in growth in certain developing countries. For instance 96 percent of households currently outside Nairobi [Kenya] have at least one M-PESA account (Logan 2017). This adoption is significant and is currently changing and upsetting the financial landscape of these nations where the mobile money transfer (MMT) has been adopted. 
Agrawal, (2009) defines mobile money transfer as the use of a mobile phone in order to transfer funds between banks or accounts, deposit or withdraw funds, or pay bills or use of a mobile device to purchase items, whether physical or electronic. Consequently Orozco et al., (2003) illuminates that MMT service is an aspect of a broader concept emerging in the electronic payment and banking industry referred to as Mobile banking. 
Undeniably the double-digit growth of MMT in Africa has been credited to the progression of the platform beyond peer-to-peer mobile payments to include paying for shopping, utility bills such as school fees, water, rent and electricity, receiving dividends, and diaspora remittances. This trend has led Logan (2017) to admit that the impact of MMT to poverty reduction a definite result of improved financial behavior – by facilitating easier transactions and safer savings – and changes in the occupational choice of users. This trend has forced corporates to adopt mobile money linkages and transactions to maintain their market share heavily due to consumer convenience posed by MMTs. For instance Kenya Power a power utility company in Kenya estimates that 80 per cent of the utility’s 654,953 pre-paid customers buy electricity tokens through mobile money platforms. Kenya Airways, the Kenyan national carrier has adopted mobile money payments now make up one per cent of total air ticket sales in 2015 .Without a doubt the as the World Bank (2009) notes the primary function of MMT services has been to reduce the costs of making payments from one individual to another, especially across large distances . 
Adam and Walker (2015) then explains that as a result mobile money tends to increase the macroeconomic stability of the countries contrary to popular expectations that it would destabilise the conduct of monetary policy in those countries. For instance M-PESA as part of economic expansion and customer convenience the transaction costs in Kenya has significantly reduced for instance , during its launch the average distance to the nearest bank was 9.2 kilometres, eight years later in 2015 the average distance to the nearest M-PESA agent was a mere 1.4 kilometers (Logan 2017). Nampewo and Opolot (2016) as a result believed that the mobile money transfers tends to increase the velocity of money in circulation because it cuts the transactions and time costs of making retail payment prompting efficiency of transactions desired by customers . Ideally apart from the peer-to-peer transfer service, mobile money is becoming the fuel for a growing number of transaction solutions across the payment chain including person-to-business and business-to-business payments. 
MMTs triumphs in Africa have been tried and tested and they are being replicated around the world. Pulver, (2009) further explains that a recent inventory by the social venture credit SMS suggests that that there are at least 23 distinct MMT, operating or pending in 20 countries following the success of MPESA. These places include Greenfield deployment in Indonesia launched in 2009 and the SMART Communications’ Island Activations Program in the Philippines. M-PESA like infrastructure was even adopted by the leading Afghan mobile network operator, Roshan, anticipate building an M-PESA-like infrastructure in Afghanistan by end of 2010. As result Logan (2017) is quick to explain that now that mobile money users are able to form more diverse risk-sharing networks, it's not surprising that users, compared with non-users, tend to receive more remittances from more people. This is particularly marked when users are responding to negative shocks. Kamukama and Tumwine (2012) then concludes that the proliferation of mobile payments may disadvantage commercial banks by weakening their liquidity positions while Nampewo et al., (2016), highlighted the role of mobile money in credit creation has been studied by who highlight the crucial role of savings and deposit mobilisation. 
In summary Mobile money users are therefore more financially resilient and can protect themselves better against economic and other shocks. It also allows them to increase their consumption in bad times. Logan (2017) confesses that this is the key in enabling households to lift themselves out of extreme poverty. Moreover, mobile money will obviously increase the velocity of money in circulation because it reduces the transactions and time costs of making retail payments. Undeniably, innovations in the financial sector, including mobile money, have been shown to have statistically significant positive long-run effects on money velocity in Uganda (Nampewo and Opolot 2016). That mobile money has a positive impact on economic outcomes for women is particularly notable when seen against some historical studies on related subjects. It is this light that we seek to explore the impact of the mobile money transfer and its impact in social, corporate, micro and macro policies concerning the aggregate economy and individual households as a whole within an economy.
