Problem
- “First account users” are required to have another account to top-up their newly created 1st ever account.

Rewire’s patent pending Technology allows a smartphone to act as a virtual ATM for other nearby users as cash deposit. - Merchants payments collection:
Rewire’s technology auto configures a smartphone as a proprietary POS for a fraction of the current cost. - Internet access:
With one click, users will be able to auto-configure a smartphone as an internet sharing device to others nearby.
