An anonymous reader writes "Technology Review is running a in-depth article about the way cellphone banking is transforming the lives of many poor people in India. By enabling them to manage a legitimate bank account and finance micro-loans, cellphones are a major force of social and economic change. It's perhaps not surprising given that, despite widespread poverty, India has the world's fastest-growing cellphone market and the second largest number of cellphone users (after China). The article mentions one Indian start-up — mChek that is thriving as a result. There's also an excellent video report."
