You have seen and follow the cutting-edge technology in digital payments and Alibaba and Alipay are probably benchmarks today. It has been said that most Chinese handle all payments thru the smartphone devices and that, payments are cashless and touch free.   Here in Brazil, we see a strong movement towards digital payments and transactions as well. The question: is money as we know it in the world obsolete? Do we still need banks?
