In Denmark, our MobilePay system is often used to provide cash between strangers when needed.

Yes. In Sweden also have something called Swish, you type in the phone-number of any person and can send money to him/her.
PAYM in the UK, too.
PayM (and MobilePay I gather) is basically a table of bank account details keyed by mobile phone numbers, so you can make a standard electronic bank transfer to someone's account number and sort code, with only knowing their phone number. It's handy, but seems a bit different from crowdsourcing ATMs and Bitcoin deposits?
