What will banking look like in the future? Do we really need these giant infrastructures, or do we have the technology to change it? David Edelstein talks about the opportunity to fundamentally alter the economics of delivering financial services.

In his role leading Global Programs at Grameen Foundation, David Edelstein and his team develop innovative, mobile phone-based solutions to tackle some of the most persistent problems in developing countries. Over the past 18 years, Edelstein has lived and worked in developing countries, with a consistent focus on how technology and creative business approaches can improve lives.
