Gates and World Bank Back Tech Aided Access for the Underbanked - NPQ - Nonprofit Quarterly

Gates and World Bank Back Tech Aided Access for the Underbanked - NPQ - Nonprofit Quarterly: "Imagine living without a connection to a bank or financial institution.

You cannot shop online, do not have access to credit, and are likely terrified of being robbed. If you need to send money to a child living in another state or family member living in your country of origin, you are charged 5-8 percent to send funds to them, and they then pay another 5-8 percent to cash the money order.
