Is there any reason you wouldn’t want your bank to be right there in your pocket? It’s convenient, compact and practical. We have books, movies, and predictions about futuristic tools like flying cars and the smart world, but we always see them at least 100 years away. That future is closer than we think.
Many traditional bank users come across some problems that make them wish for a more compatible banking system. Issues like unnecessary fees, late customer service, malfunctioning ATMs, security and inaccessibility of financial tools, make you wonder, why do we still support such system?
Dreaming of pocket-size bank
Dreaming of a more efficient payment system began a while ago. Many companies introduced digital payment methods, digital wallets (like PayPal and cryptocurrency wallets) that would’ve changed the issues correlated with the banking system.
They did solve the issue of flexibility, but not everything has evolved, and micro-financing is still undeveloped. A vast majority of the third world population is still unbanked, and unable to access loans, credit cards, and other financial tools.
Pocket size banks often visit the minds of those who are unbanked, have no credit score, travel around the world or merely want to have a compact bank at their hands.

For the last couple of years, various industries have been experimenting with blockchain technologies. Micro-financing sphere is on to a new era of development, according to the project AssetStream – an ecosystem that delivers financial services to borrowers, lenders and loan agencies.
