Mynt, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Globe Telecom, is leveraging on the immense popularity of cellular phones in offering a one-stop shop for financial services to boost financial inclusion among Filipinos.

By now everyone has heard the intent of most mobile phone companies like Apple and Samsung to make smartphones thinner. Both have tried to go about it by taking out some traditional parts.
