West don’t understand it,because most people have bank
accounts and credit cards.It—mobile banking—is the instant possession of cash at a much lower cost.The cost is the cost of sending a message,which is almost nothing compared to what traditional transfer agents,like Western Union,would charge 10 dollars or more for a particular money transfer.”
