6.AN ESTIMATED 2.5BILLION adults do not have access to banks.Unsurprisingly,they are among the world's most destitute:According to a report released by the World Bank and other development groups,about three out of four adults living on less than $2a day,from farmers in Tanzania to slum-dwellers(贫民) in India to seamstresses(女裁缝) in Bolivia,lack an account with a formal financial institution(机构).But many of these people do have cell phones.Globally,there are some 7billion mobile-phone subscriptions(订购),up from about 2billion in 2005.Beyond simply helping people stay in touch,the devices are being used to report fair-market prices for crops,document wartime atrocities(暴行),and even track the spread of disease.The technology is also reinventing a key tool for economic growth:banking.In countries across the world,mobile operators-think the equivalents(对应物) of Sprint and Verizon-now offer services that enable individuals to transfer cash via text message.In 2014,according to the international mobile-carrier trade group GSMA,there were 255mobile-enabled electronic money services working in 89countries,and nearly 300million mobile-money accounts.The trend is particularly significant in Africa,where in at least 15countries mobile-money accounts now outnumber formal bank accounts.With even the most basic cell phones,users can pay taxes and taxis,send money to far-away families,and even receive salaries and government subsidies(补贴).
To be sure,it's still the early days for this booming industry.Developing economies remain dominated by cash.But mobile money has in many ways already started to reshape the very architecture of financial services for the better.
