---- Is Mobile Banking Really Reducing Poverty? 
Transferring money via mobile phones can save days of travel for workers 
in cities who send money home to families in rural villages. Mobile 
payments are also often cheaper and more secure than relying on informal 
brokers or carrying cash personally, and they have the potential to change 
markets by making small business-to-business transactions immediate and 
more reliable.
