    Sounds like Paypal, who is “not a bank”, but who operates on the basis that you must link a bank or interact with a bank to do transactions. But you say unbanked people can use it? How do you get cash loaded onto it?

    I suppose it’s still far from being something I could find useable because apps that reject rooted phones would be closed-source (read: untrustworthy; misplaced control).

      You mentioned you “must” link a bank or interact with a bank. Not in this case.

      Yep, I said that.

      How do you get cash loaded onto it?

      They can go to any 7-Eleven stores to reload their cash into the app. Some other convenience stores offer such service too.
