Mobile Payment Fraud and AbuseFor people living in developing countries without a pervasive, modern financial and communications infrastructure, m-payments can improve lives by giving unbanked citizens in rural areas a link to modern financial services at a reasonable price.

As explored in this paper, advancements in cloud technology, digital satellites (DSATs), and fiber-optics allow modern finance processes to be extended to even the most hard-to-reach individuals and small businesses.
