What’s the problem?
Controlled by banks who run in fear of regulators
Old infrastructure that doesn't’t keep up with increasing flows
Regulatory overhead + old technology = high prices and bad services
Consumers and small business pay the price

“We make 1% of the value of each transaction, but if we get one transaction wrong it could cost us over $100m in lawyer fees and $1-2bn of lost
business. For ten bucks, who’s going to risk that?
Big banks have a role to play but it’s not bringing the people from a remote village into mainstream banking – that’s a job for another
type of institution. Regulation is against us, the market is against us, reality is against us.”
