"Banking the unbanked has been seen as an experiment - everyone knows there is a huge opportunity - but banks have been tentative. The depth of existing profit pools makes expansion into tough regions less desirable. Existing products are too expensive for consumers and investing in new products, new distribution networks and new organisation models is expensive, time-intensive, and requires top skills and intellect." ¹

"There are over one billion people in emerging markets today who don't have a bank account but do have a mobile phone." ³

- Rob Conway, CEO, GSM Association⁴, March 2009.
