Additionally, in response to the claim that the maintenance of a bank account is a sign of stability, I say this: In a labor market such as ours, where the college diploma has been wholly devalued, where median wages have remained stagnant for far too long, and where firms dispense of people as if they were unnecessary appendages, to what degree is financial stability actually attainable? And at what cost? While people try to adapt to these changing situations, policymakers’ view of personal finance has remained static. The Federal Deposit and Insurance Corporation (FDIC) conducts the biannual “National Survey of Unbanked and Underbanked Households.” The survey classifies respondents as “banked” (they use only banks and credit unions), “unbanked” (they have no bank account), or “underbanked” (they have bank accounts but continue to rely on alternative financial services). As of 2013, the year of the FDIC’s most recent survey, approximately 8 percent of Americans were unbanked and another 20 percent were underbanked.

As of 2013, the year of the FDIC’s most recent survey, approximately 8 percent of Americans were unbanked and another 20 percent were underbanked. The picture looks far worse for people of color. One in five African American households and nearly 18 percent of Latino households are unbanked. Policymakers, alarmed by these statistics, have been working hard to enfranchise the unbanked and underbanked. They insist that a formal relationship with a mainstream financial institution will improve these people’s lives. Convinced that having a bank account enables one to move up the economic ladder, they paint banks as the good guys and alternatives as the bad guys. This simplistic view reflects unstated value judgments.

How the Other Half Banks: Exclusion, Exploitation, and the Threat to Democracy

This is the story of South Africa’s foray into mobile banking: In South Africa, where only half the population has bank accounts, but nearly everyone has a mobile phone, a company called WIZZIT set out to bank the unbanked with an aspiring worldwide mission to “change the world by providing banking opportunities to the 4 billion unbanked and under-banked [globally] through cell phone technology, leading to a reduction in poverty and the creation of economic citizens.”79 However, the company not only failed to reduce poverty worldwide, but as it turned out, the banked and higher-income population, who relied on the service to conduct more banking transactions at increased convenience, comprised most of its South African customer base.

Trading is the buying and selling of assets and financial instruments for the purpose of investing, speculating, hedging, and arbitraging and includes the posttrade life cycle of clearing, settling, and storing value. Blockchain cuts settlement times on all transactions from days and weeks to minutes and seconds. This speed and efficiency creates opportunities for unbanked and underbanked people to participate in wealth creation. 6. Funding and Investing: Investing in an asset, company, or new enterprise gives an individual the opportunity to earn a return, in the form of capital appreciation, dividends, interest, rents, or some combination. The industry makes markets: matching investors with entrepreneurs and business owners at every stage of growth—from angels to IPOs and beyond.

The implications of this equality are profound.

For example, the Islamic Bank of Bitcoin is investigating ways to conduct Sharia-compliant banking with Bitcoin.92 A key point of Bitcoin neutrality is that the real target market for whom Bitcoin could be most useful is the “unbanked,” individuals who do not have access to traditional banking services for any number of reasons, estimated at 53 percent of the worldwide population.93 Even in the United States, 7.7 percent of households are forecast to be unbanked or underbanked.94 Bitcoin neutrality means access for the unbanked and underbanked, which requires Bitcoin solutions that apply in all low-tech environments, with features like SMS payment, paper wallets, and batched blockchain transactions. Having neutrality-oriented, easy-to-use solutions (the “Twitter of emerging market Bitcoin”) for Bitcoin could trigger extremely fast uptake in underbanked markets, continuing the trend of 31 percent of Kenya’s GDP being spent through mobile phones.95 There are different SMS Bitcoin wallets and delivery mechanisms (like 37Coins96 and Coinapult, and projects like Kipochi97 that are integrated with commonly used emerging-markets mobile finance platforms like M-Pesa.

A World of Three Zeros: The New Economics of Zero Poverty, Zero Unemployment, and Zero Carbon Emissions
by Muhammad Yunus
Published 25 Sep 2017

I have been advocating for years to create new banking laws to allow the setting up of banks for the poor as opposed to the present laws focused on creating banks for the rich. Doing patchwork on the existing laws to allow noncollateralized lending to the unbanked can have very little success—especially while the need for banking for the unbanked and underbanked is so vast. I try to present the case by pointing out that financial services are the oxygen of individual economic life. This oxygen is delivered extremely generously to the topmost people; in fact, they enjoy a kind of economic fire that sucks up nearly all the oxygen that is available.

After the departure of Joyce Kim, the Foundation began a long pivot, founding a company called Lightyear.io in 2017 (which became Interstellar in 2018 after acquiring the blockchain company Chain) to promote and encourage adoption of the protocol. Like Ripple, Stellar is focusing on cross-border payments, albeit with a more unbanked and underbanked bent, attempting to provide services to those who lack financial access. Scaling Blockchains In technology terms, scaling is the ability of a network to dynamically change resource allocation while improving or maintaining efficiency. Scaling has been a challenge as Bitcoin has grown: as more transactions end up on the blockchain, the network needs to continue providing a cheap and easy way to transact.

The discussion of their success is covered later in this journal in my interview with John Maynard, but the key comment he makes is that since M-PESA launched in 2007, the number of people who now have bank accounts with the traditional banks has almost quadrupled. The reason? As mobile money provides inclusion for the unbanked and underbanked, they become recognised as financially viable citizens and therefore for financial inclusion by being banked. Similarly, when banks find they cannot offer services to customers through this credit crisis that were previously offered, such as credit, other services gain traction. This is clear from the rise of crowdfunding platforms like kickstarter and social lending services like Zopa, Smava and Prosper.

With AI, huge groups of people can come together, share financial information, and pool risk, becoming the peer-to-peer market now known as “crowdlending.” Prosper, Funding Circle, and LendingTree are three examples in a market expected to grow from $26.16 billion in 2015 to $897.85 billion by 2024. A different example is the Smart Finance Group. Created in 2013 to serve China’s massive unbanked and underbanked population, Smart Finance uses an AI to comb a user’s personal data—social media data, smartphone data, educational and employment history, etc.—to generate a reliable credit score nearly instantly. With this method, they can approve a peer-to-peer loan in under eight seconds, including microloans to the unbanked.

In red, white and black, the cover read ‘Pro Logo’, and savaged the Canadian activist Naomi Klein for her ‘utterly wrong-headed’ No Logo (1999), the best-selling ‘bible of the anti-globalisation movement’.49 For his part, Emmott spied untrammelled vistas for financial innovation until the end. In his last signed piece in 2006, he hailed US banks for entering sectors served only by payday lenders and pawnbrokers. Citibank signed an agreement with 7-Eleven to put cash machines in 5,500 stores, while credit card companies ‘targeted the unbanked and under-banked’ – poor minorities and immigrants, who stood to gain from access to cheaper credit. (Banks anticipated culling $9 billion in fees from them, and that was ‘before any cross-selling of other products’.) The subprime mortgage crisis hit the next year. Among the community banks Emmott cited as paragons, just one limped into 2012.50 Yet the crash barely checked his stride.
