YodoPay – A Sunmi Partner

For the past 3,000 years mankind has predominantly used currency to make payment or exchange value. For the past several hundreds of years payments were made in cash, an exchange based on the trusted relationship between a merchant and a customer, with a trusted instrument backed by sovereign governments and without any fee being incurred. It was a recent event since the mid 20th century that bank payment products, primarily financial cards or credit and debit cards, arrived on the scene. Visa the largest payment card provider in the world was founded in 1958 several years before the first mobile phone in the mid 1970’s and twenty years before the Internet, which arrived in the late 1980’s. The majority of humanity now has a mobile phone so two questions to ponder; why are most mobile payment schemes based on a financial product (other than cash) and why is cash still so resilient ?

ApplePay, Android Pay, Ali pay and WeChat Pay are all based on a “core bank payment engine”. YodoPay alone is advocating a return to less costly, more trusted cash as the core payment engine for mobile payments. Cash has lower transactions costs, zero danger of identity theft (one of the fastest growing crimes) and cash based system tends to be less fraudulent. But wait,”how can one structure a cash based mobile payment system that is efficient, safe trusted and regulatory compliant?” The answer lies in leveraging the routine daily cash handing practices of small merchants and setting realistic balance limits on the mobile cash accounts. General worldwide Money Service Business (MSB) regulators are rightfully concerned with anonymous money transfers due to money laundering but rather than throwing out cash, a method of exchange faithfully serving mankind and still preferred by a majority of the global population, why not use modern technology to perfect cash in a digital form. When regulators set balance and velocity limits on digital cash, government (the people) are better able to control both the transaction costs and fiscal policy (the money supply).
