Presently, about 40 percent of the world’s population are without banking services. According to data, only 60 percent of the total number of persons across the globe, mostly in developed nations, can lay claim to banking services. Even with the volume of cash in circulation across the world in the last five years, it is rather left to the imagination what those who are unbanked go through every day. Just as the volume of cash circulation has gone up, the rate at which non-cash transactions are taking place, is still on the rising side. It is put at over 10 percent, globally.
