Watch the Video - Mobile Banking for Poor People: Pioneer Perspectives

by Sarah Rotman: Thursday, December 18, 2008

Last week, CGAP hosted a roundtable and webinar on the important topic of how mobile phone banking can deliver a range of financial services to poor people and change lives for the better.

We had a great response both in person and online through this blog. Thank you to all who participated and added to the discussion with thoughtful questions.
