>> From the article:
>> 
>> “Whilst bringing new or powerful tools to the general public will breed
>> competition and innovation, open Web payments can also bring about much
>> more basic and societal changes. 2.5 billion people around the world
>> don’t have bank accounts and thus have no ability to save money due to
>> banking corruption and/or high fees. When a family has no way of saving
>> for the future, it greatly limits their chances of pulling themselves
>> out of poverty. The promise of Web payments is about more than just an
>> exciting future, it is about a more egalitarian one.
>> 
>> So, how do we get from where we are today, to a future where sending and
>> receiving funds on the Web is as easy as clicking a button?”
