A digital payments revolution in India
When you pay a merchant $100 with your card they get about $97. When this $100 has exchanged hands 50 times only $15 remains.

We need a unified payment system in western countries, but it's almost impossible given how much of a chokehold big banks have over our economy.<p>Capitalism at its finest.
