- A study by Bill Maurer, anthropology professor and IMTFI director, is featured by Patterns (IDEO) June 10, 2011
From Patterns:

many people are not using banks. Combining the two could change the latter. Mobile
money’s promise to make financial services universally accessible has caught the attention
of many corporations, foundations, and governments. Vodafone has led the charge to
date, launching several highly visible services from the Middle East to Africa. [Guest
