Around the world, more than two billion people do not have access to financial services; one of the main reasons is they do not have the ability to pay the fees associated with these financial services.

Without identification, the creation of credit history, lending and deposit are impossible. Subsequently, it makes unbanked countries difficult to get out of poverty.
