Money goes mobile
- June 10, 2011
- A study by Bill Maurer, anthropology professor and IMTFI director, is featured by Patterns (IDEO) June 10, 2011
From Patterns:
Everywhere you go, people are using mobile phones. But in many parts of the world,
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
