I dismissed this company as froth when I first looked at it. Since then the sp has doubled and continues to steadily rise. I looked again and when I saw the countries and contracts this firm is in---I was impressed and bought some to tuck away. anyone else bought in or interested?

Fools bullish for a change.......

Monitise Plc Jumps 20%! Is It Time To Buy?
By Motley Fool | Tue, 11th August 2015 - 11:52

Mobile money company Monitise (LSE:MONI) has jumped 20% in early trading today, although there's little in the way of news to validate this bounce. However, today's bounce brings to an end weeks of dismal price action, which has seen the company half in value over the space of three months.

But does today's bounce signal a turnaround in Monitise's fortunes?

Time to buy?

I've long been a fan of Monitise, and I believe that the company has a bright future ahead of it. There's plenty of value to be found in the company's partnerships with major European banks and Monitise's joint ventures with IBM, as well as Santander should not be overlooked.

Nevertheless, during the past six months Monitise has been subject to an unprecedented amount of pressure. Two of the company's largest shareholders have started to reduce their holdings while competition in the mobile payments market has increased dramatically with the roll-out of Apple pay across the UK.

These problems have come at a time when Monitise itself is going through a management transition and organisational overhaul.

Indeed, Elizabeth Buse, who took over as Monitise's CEO at the beginning of this year, is slashing Monitise's operational spending and CapEx budget to save costs. The company has already reported a significant reduction in cash flowing out of the business, and should now be able to survive for longer with the resources already available to it. At the end of June, Monitise reported a cash balance of £89m.

Still, Monitise is a company in the early stages of a recovery. It's clear that the group has made a number of errors over the past five years. Regaining the market's trust is now an essential goal for management.

And management's last chance to regain the market's trust will be when Monitise releases its 2015 financial year results, which are scheduled to be published on 9 September 2015.

Last chance saloon

Monitise's future depends on the outlook it issues alongside its results for 2015. Over the past five years, the company has continually disappointed, missing targets and asking shareholders for more cash to fund growth. Nonetheless, Monitise's management has, for the past two years, expressed confidence that the company will be profitable on an earnings before interest, tax, amortization and depreciation basis by 2016.

Monitise's new management team will have been in charge of the company for nearly a year by the beginning of September. So, Elizabeth Buse and her team should have a clear idea of whether or not this EBITDA profitability target is realistic when they put together Monitise's full-year 2015 results.

If management sticks to this outlook, the market might start to trust Monitise again. However, if Monitise rewrites its forecasts yet again, the company could lose the few friends it has left.

Interesting point by "Noise "..........

What's driving this?

It's either traders pushing it up, readying for a smashdown tree shake, or perhaps the significance of the October 1st 2015 handover to chip & pin/NFC technology, when US stores will become liable for fraud if they don't upgrade from their primitive magnetic swipe readers. Rumours are there is a backlog of about 4 months as the retailers are scrambling to upgrade... while not ensuring success for Monitise, it certainly lays the basic fundamental building blocks it needs to thrive in a huge market, at an interesting time when Moni are fast recruiting San Francisco IT staff.

I'm still not quite sure how HCE fits into the US picture, it hasn't exploded yet, I think it'll get some market share, but I'm not sure if it will dominate. IBM seem quite convinced however..

MONITISE PLC (OTCMKTS:MONIF) Is Todays Stock in Focus

BY DANIEL MCCARTHY ON AUGUST 30, 2015 -- MICRO CAP INSIDER, SMALL CAPS
MONITISE PLC (OTCMKTS:MONIF) is making another nice move up since reversing off $0.07 last week with an eye on $0.12 for breakout. The stock has been trading well since $0.0524 lows. MONIF was trading well over $1 this time last year and has a massive gap to fill from current levels.

MONIF used to be the darling of small caps and looked destined for bigger things with large cap Companies such as IBM, Telefonica, MasterCard and Santander all invested significantly in the Company. MONIF exploded over $1 at the time but collapsed after the Company missed revenue projections significantly.

MONITISE PLC (OTCMKTS:MONIF) bills itself as the largest Mobile Money specialist in the world with a single-minded and realistic vision: to make money totally mobile across the globe. MONIF is working with over 300 of the world’s leading businesses and financial institutions across global territories to make the most of the opportunities this creates.

The Company offers a strong mobile banking platform through its Bank Anywhere, Pay Anyone, Buy Anything, and Engage Anytime services and has developed strong partnerships with Visa and MasterCard that connect it with millions of users around the world.

Already 28 million consumers benefit from Monitise’s patented technology to ‘bank anywhere’, ‘pay anyone’ and ‘buy anything’, accounting for $71bn of payments, purchases and transfers annually.

In early January MONIF announced it has partnered with the MoneyPass Network to offer a range of advanced Mobile Money services and card control capabilities to card issuers in the United States. The MoneyPass Network is operated by Elan Financial Services, a division of U.S. Bank.

Monitise will be delivering a range of capabilities to MoneyPass Mobile users, including core mobile banking services such as balance checks and transfers, as well as more advanced services like mobile check deposit and cardholder-managed security controls. The scalable, cloud-based platform provided by Monitise will enable MoneyPass issuers to offer mobile money services rapidly, easily and securely.

President of MONIF Mike Dreyer said “Thanks to mobile, the way that consumers are interacting with their financial institutions has transformed from just a few years ago. The level of engagement through mobile is staggering – users of Monitise-based mobile banking services often log in daily. Part of the reason this is so high comes down to trust, and we are looking forward to providing MoneyPass cardholders with greater access to mobile banking services on a platform they can rely on.”

According to a recent article MONIF plans to launch a new platform in April; the new approach Monitise is offering will make it easier for financial institutions, payment companies, mobile operators, retailers and network partners to connect to an increasingly mobile population. Monitise’s Central Platform provides the services and functionality required to manage and grow the new ecosystem. While system integration capabilities continue to be provided by the Monitise Enterprise and Vantage platforms, each including a standard API interface to the Monitise Central Platform, customers can opt to use their own technology to connect directly to Monitise. As part of the Group’s evolving capabilities, content and service providers, including new industry schemes, can also connect directly to the published Open APIs of the central platform.

Supporting this, Monitise is also announcing today the launch of Monitise Signature™, a PCI-compliant bank-grade data analytics engine that combines consumer-empowered profiling with transactional and behavioural intelligence. This user-defined preference engine will enable richer one-to-one targeting to deliver personalised marketing that is adaptive and intuitive.
