M-Eskudo targets the unbanked and underserved
There are about 2bn people (168m in wide-Europe) and 200m businesses without bank accounts and an additional equivalent number are financially underserved. As growth takes people out of the base of the pyramid, their need for financial services grows as well.

(B2B2C model) that seek to disrupt banking by strengthen their foothold in the
digital age and offer differentiated services. It is ready for Internet of Things and
may support blockchain nodes. It is based on a patenting device inspired in
payment cards (2,5bn users worldwide), passbooks (850m) and mobile banking
(110m) replicating what customers love while eliminating what they and respective
bank dislike in each of these products. It provides a last-mile access to banking, so
convenient, safe and easy that everyone, independent of literacy, will use it.
