You're going to have to give us more information than this. Sure, lots of business models "prey on poor people", but which ones of those are threatened by electronic wallets?
- dylan604 6y agoLots of poor people do not have bank accounts, so there's no way they can use electronic only systems.

- mixmastamyk 6y agoNot true, you can load money on a smart card via kiosk. This is already available almost everywhere, although would need to be accepted at POS.
- kevin_thibedeau 6y agoPayday loan sharks are the big one. Universal banking puts them out of business.
- jessaustin 6y agoDepending on what that phrase "universal banking" entails, sure. It is the case that some good loans are not being made because of the perceived risks of particular potential borrowers. I don't think free electronic wallets are going to help with that, however. Lots of bad loans are also avoided due to the perceived risk of the potential borrowers. An electronic wallet isn't going to help differentiate this.
