Abstract:
In this paper we put forth a vision in which people are able to make small deposits into their bank account through a variety of cash handling outlets right in their neighborhood. In fact, buying and selling deposits (i.e., depositing and withdrawing money from your current account) is just another product your local store or supermarket offers you, along with toothpaste and mobile prepaid cards.
