=Overview = The World Bank reports that 2.4 billion people lived on less than US$2 a day in 2010. They are the 80% of the world population being classified as underbanked/unbanked. It doesn't mean a cashless society as they have yet to open their first bank account. They are the migrant workers, the very old, the unemployed, the single mothers who are striving to keep their families together. So, how do they go about living their daily lives When they are still require to make payment for utilities bills, school fees, micro-loans, top-up their mobile phone airtime? A cash-in solution has been innovated and released in 2014 to empower the underbanked or unbanked community with lifestyle transactions. This solution taps on the 5 billion mobile phone subscribers in the world to bring financial services in a "Box". This is the cash-in solution invented by Numoni.

The Brain behind the Innovation
Started with a small vision to provide financial inclusion for the underbanked and empower them with lifestyle transactions, Numoni, headquartered in Singapore and established since January 2012, has created and developed a CASH acceptance transaction vending machine. They called it NUGEN.

The Solution
This is a simple and effective end-to-end solution that provides cash acceptance for a range of transactions and payment management. Now, the underbanked and unbanked can simply use cash to (1) Recharge their prepaid mobile airtime; vouchers; stored value wallets; (2) Remit prepaid mobile airtime; (3) Repay bills; fees; micro loans; (4) Release donations; (5) Receive micro-savings; donations and (6) Retail vouchers.

The Result
In Singapore, there were more than 70 such vending machines being installed, mainly in migrant workers’ dormitories. It is the result of seeing some 500,000 migrant workers from neighboring countries, living in dormitories which are not located near to convenience stores, train or bus stations that Numoni took up the challenge to create and develop and eventually manufacture the self-service vending machine to empower them with lifestyle transactions. With the machines, migrant workers are now able to top-up their prepaid mobile airtime when they get back from work at night and to maintain contacts with their families back home. In other countries such as Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Hongkong, financing companies are deploying these vending machines to relieve resources and re-direct manpower to serve high-value customers. Since the underbanked people are mostly those who work from hand to mouth, they can't afford to queue at service providers' cashier counters to make a simple monthly repayment of their loans and bills. Thus, these companies placed these self-service vending machines where they do not have their own branches and as this vending machine operates 24 by 7, many workers are now able to pay off their loans, bills, their children's school fees, top-up their mobile airtime etc after they finish their work.

 * In short, it isn't. There are multiple problems. Firstly, it seems you are out to promote Numoni and its machines, with a tone that's not appropriate for an encyclopedia article about them. Secondly, the article pretends to be about "underbanked" issues in general, but is merely a coatrack used to "hang up" the information on Numoni. If you want to write about Numoni, do so; don't pretend to be writing about something else. If you really meant to write about the underbanked in general, we already have an article on that topic, but discussing Numoni and its products in that article would likely give them undue weight. Thirdly, none of your references so much as mention Numoni. If you want to write about that company, you'll need reliable sources such as newspapers or reputable magazines discussing it in some detail. Huon (talk) 18:36, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
