For those do not see a value in this idea - is because simply you are living in a bubble. Lots of places in this world do not take credit cards.
In fact, in the center of the tech bubble - SF and if you happen to visit some restaurants in Chinatown, they usually have a sign says "Cash Only". CC fees are so high (even if you don't think it's that much) that those shops rather not take any CC and save themselves from BS charges.
Please please please think, design, and build a product for a world that's not in the bubble. A simple tech integration can adds huge potential value.
I agree with this sentiment. The other week I was speaking to one of the guys behind mookh.com, a Kenyan mobile payment startup and he said underbanked people needed solutions which catered to them in their current context.
