The word ‘unbanked’ may sound like an aberration, a language distortion by publicists to support marketing objectives, however, it’s real. Valued statistics indicate than half the world’s population do not have a bank account.

While the reasons are varied, and these people are from all corners of the globe – from a ‘spaza’ (roadside) store in Africa, to a reindeer herder in the Arctic tundra – finding an alternative to traditional ‘brick & mortar’ will empower this disenfranchised group to join the ‘banking’ mainstream, by definition; a place where money is deposited, invested, withdrawn, transferred or borrowed.

It’s not that they do not like banks, it’s just that the traditional offering is either inappropriate or inconvenient.

Sonny Fisher, CEO of Atlanta-based MAHALA, has spent several years evaluating the situation, and his mobile solution is becoming increasingly relevant.

According to research published in September 2012 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), 8.2% of US households are unbanked. That is nearly 10 million people and approximately 17 million adults who are living in unbanked households. Further, 20.1% are underbanked, while 10% do not have a checking account.

Most unbanked households report that they are not likely to open an account in the future, one-third (33.9%) report they are “very likely” or “somewhat likely” to do so.

Extrapolating from this data, the FDIC was able to establish that 68.8% are fully banked, 20.1% are underbanked, and 8.2% are unbanked. Breaking this data down further, it’s the southern states that represent the highest percentage of unbanked (10%), with an almost equal split of 7.1% each across the Mid West, North West and North East.

“Unbanked rates generally decrease with increasing age and income. Among the youngest households (those with householders under age 24), 17.4% are unbanked. The proportion of unbanked households is lower, at 12.7%, for households between age 25 and age 34, and it continues to decline across older age categories. Unbanked rates also decline sharply with income. Almost three in ten households (28.2%) with annual income below $15,000 do not have a bank account, while about one in ten households (11.7%) with income between $15,000 and $30,000 are unbanked. Still, almost half (47.6%) of households with income below $15,000 are fully banked,” say the researchers.

Of the 6 billion adults in the world, staggeringly, only half have a bank account. 

This is one of the huge findings from a global poll by the World Bank and Gallup, funded by the Gates Foundation. The report, by World Bank economists Asli Demirguc-Kunt and Leora Klapper, is brilliant.

This big finding means that 3 billion people are unbanked, therefore, not participating in modern economic life. Advanced countries can feed them, clothe them, rush them medicine, school them – but those people will never experience sustainable human development until they’re integrated into the global channels of buying and selling. Simply put, they need access to money and credit, and they need to have a bank account.

The unbanked actually create a particular opportunity for the United States. This is especially true as world GDP, which is currently at $60 trillion, will grow to more than $200 trillion over the next 30 years. So $140 trillion worth of new customers are coming into global markets. Note to the U.S. president and all American governors: Within this $140 trillion are the best jobs in the world – jobs follow customers, not vice versa.

Having experienced the African situation first-hand, Sonny Fisher began to explore alternative opportunities in South Africa, developing what he called a ‘community trading platform’ which was aimed at reducing the burden of transaction fees, and at the same time, promoting financial inclusion’.

Now based in Atlanta, the financial processing hub in the USA, Sonny’s desire is to realize his dreams, saying, “Our goal ultimately fueled the innovations that led to the ability to monetize social networks. Since our inception, it has been our shared belief that by collaborating as a community, and sharing the infrastructure expenses across the entire ecosystem; the costs come down for everyone.

His team is committed to solving real world problems through the implementation of leading edge technology, comprehensive planning, and a true dedication to their mission.

As some of us pack up our books, move to new cities, and start our summer transition from student to employee, many of us will also take time off for a well deserved break. Some may even enjoy that break in an exotic destination abroad.

But upon arrival to these vacation destinations, many of us are exposed to different customs than we encounter on a daily basis at home. My time here in Mexico, for one, has certainly been different. It has been challenging to adjust even to small things (like not being able to find almond milk anywhere). But I’ve also become aware of certain behaviours and attitudes that people have here.

I was recently out having some beers with a few friends when two little girls walked up to our table at the restaurant. They started off by asking the usual question – whether we wanted to buy something from them. When we repeatedly said no, they decided to just ask for money. Again, we answered with a polite no. They left for a few minutes only to return to our table again, this time with much more persistence.

After about 15 minutes of these girls asking us for money, my friend reached into his pocket and handed one of them a couple of pesos, leading the other girl to run to his side and ask him for more.

While I do not condemn my friend for his action, and I do not believe it is right to simply ignore those in need, I realized that my friend’s behaviour towards the girls and their persistent pleading are results of conditioning. And it’s a psychological theory that’s not just relevant here in Mexico, but at home as well.

Rather than contributing to sustainable solutions for problems such as poverty, we are conditioned to stick a Band-Aid on the problem – by giving those in need our spare change, for example.

Is this what happens all the time when these girls walk about the streets trying to sell their trinkets, I wondered? By giving them the money they are asking for, we feed into the notion that providing short-term solutions will give them what they really need in the end.

This has been an issue that I have struggled with in Mexico, because although it may be on a subconscious level, every time someone decides to give a little money, they fail to address the root cause of the problem.

This is an example that should not be foreign to many people, because it can be found all over the world. The only difference is that it can be more habitual in some places.

Yet this kind of behaviour is part of human nature. When we see something we personally feel is unjust, our response is to act – to decide how we can help directly at that moment.

This is also not to say that those who are asking should be ignored. But we should also focus on finding ways to work with those vulnerable populations rather than simply giving them the change from our pockets. We need real solutions that create less dependency and more sustainability.

Many humanitarian organizations have started this transition of moving from direct short-term aid to sustainable long-term aid. The only problem is that people have become dependent on these quick-fix solutions, making it harder to transition to long-term initiatives that address the root causes of the problem.

If organizations worked with these people to discover their specific and immediate needs, and paired that with long- term initiatives, vulnerable populations could become more independent.

When traveling to new places it is important to be aware of the differences between cultures and the way that we choose to conduct ourselves. The key is not found within the exchange of a few coins but within the attempt to work alongside these groups – by helping them get to where they wish to be and breaking this cycle of dependence.

This is a documentary that me and my friends made to show the importance of environment.

What are the main factors that can contradict with your application performance? What drives you to find solution with Application Performance Management (APM)?

This 5 top factors list will cover the impacts of the application, to the surrounding and the network, to the people behind those applications. All of these factors should be considered when managing application performance to tackle the issue quickly.

1. APPLICATION COMPLEXITY

Application complexity is one of the biggest factors impacting application performance. Today’s services and applications, specifically  those conveyed via the Web, are a montage of components that come from various places such as data center, cloud, and third-party.  Multiple moving parts must be execute in the manner to provide a great experience for end-user, while the customer or employee looking at a browser window sees a single application. Maybe the app server and Web server are doing fine, but  user experience will suffer if the database is staggering. Being able to measure and keep tabs on all those moving parts is the test and requires an APM tool that can provide a view into the performance of all the parts, not just individual components.

2. APPLICATION DESIGN

Performance goals need to be characterized when applications are specified, in parallel with the information of the environment the applications will run in. A number of times improvement is left out and applications are monitored, analyzed and being repair after released into production. This never works as well as when performance is one of the key goals of the application design before a line of code is written.

In addition, the factor too affects application performance today which poorly optimized code and infrastructure, such as sub-optimal SQL queries and poorly configured network infrastructure. All of these problems can be hard to cater, and the emphasis on DevOps processes can cause multiply quickly by increasing the rate of change in the data center. Hence, it is important to capably tool the data center to monitor and report on all aspects of a deployed application using code level instrumentation, EURT and network performance tools, and traditional IT infrastructure monitoring solutions.

3. APPLICATION TESTING

Nowadays, applications are generally developed in simulation labs with no performance test on live networks. Before applications are displayed, transport in highly distributed network architectures today should be monitored and optimized. Fault testing of the application in the live production environment impacts performance. Tied to that is for developers and testers to have a clear understanding of the non-functional performance criteria.

4. THE NETWORK

The network on which the application is used impacts performance greatly, in particular for mobile and cloud. Inconsistent bandwidth, high jitters  increased latency and packet loss all work to decrease application performance. While it might not be able to  cloud networks or control mobile, by building and apps test with these network conditions in mind the issue can be comprehend. Before the network impacts are felt by users, this will gives organizations the opportunity to optimize app performance .

5. PEAK USAGE

How the application will be used? How many people will continuously use it and for what kind? This will affect application performance as well as give corresponding application architecture and its scaling assumptions that go into its design and deployment. This lack of understanding actual user transactions and performance itself can stir the performance during the critical peak usage period. Applications should be able to cater during peak usage to deliver better user experience. It should be able to downshift to preserve resources when demand is low. To make this thing work, , at a minimum APM technology should provide a governor or feedback loop to the app regarding end user experience and internal app/infra operations.

5. The Silent Killer: Downtime

One of the biggest impacts I had when I was in treatment was the support of living with others. While it remained to be triggering at times, or prompting insanity, it’s a type of community and love that no one will ever understand unless they have been where I was.

Since coming home, AA has remained a foundation for my recovery and my support, friends and family. However, with that in mind, I was missing a support for eating disorders. For the past year, I had been wanting to start an eating disorder group that was NOT therapy-based, or symptom discussion, simply solution based as in AA.

Originally, the group started as an ABA meeting but due to other circumstances, we modified the group into a “big book” type meeting. We simply use the stories in the ABA book as a foundation to share off of, encouraging individuals to talk to their sponsors about there eating behaviors in substitution for alcohol. Finally, I have been able to establish a group, a home for those who need support, discussion and tools. In fact, it is open to both men and women, and yes, we do have a male in the group.

That — is inspiring.

Yes, marketing literature can be out of touch; presentation files can be poorly written and have too many bullet points; demo scripts can miss the value entirely; but once in a while, a white-paper, a blog, a product description can get to the heart of the matter and reveal something new.  It might require you to connect the dots from disparate sources but then, then!  The light goes on.

New insight!

Damn if that insight doesn’t turn out to be relevant, timely, and key in the next three customer conversations you have.

You’re in the center of the buzz and you get it, and you can articulate it to others… because your in Pre-Sales and that’s what you do- make the complex simple through communication.  You’re a transducer of complexity in technology and business.

The more you know… the more relevant you are.

After a long career in research and policy making, I now understand why Americans are so confused. As a taxpayer who foots the bill for research and health policy in America, you deserve to know that many of the common notions you have been told about food, health and disease are wrong:
• Synthetic chemicals in the environment and in your food, as problematic as they may be, are not the main cause of cancer.
• The genes that you inherit from your parents are not the most important factors in determining whether you fall prey to any of the ten leading causes of death.
• The hope that genetic research will eventually lead to drug cures for diseases ignores more powerful solutions that can be employed today.
• Obsessively controlling your intake of anyone nutrient, such as carbohydrates, fat, cholesterol or omega-3 fats, will not result in long-term health.
• Vitamins and nutrient supplements do not give you long-term protection against disease.
• Drugs and surgery don’t cure the diseases that kill most Americans.
• Your doctor probably does not know what you need to do to be the healthiest you can be.
