The facts

According to the World Bank, approximately 2.5 billion people worldwide do not have a formal account at a financial institution. Access to affordable financial services is linked to overcoming poverty, reducing income disparities, and increasing economic growth. The World Bank’s Global Findex database found that 3/4 of the world’s poor are considered unbanked, meaning that they do not have a bank account. This is a staggering number that includes 59% of adults in developing economies, 77% of adults earning less than $2 a day, as well as 11% in high-income economies.

The Global Findex reveals that 16% of adults in Sub-Saharan Africa have used a mobile phone to pay bills and send or receive money in the past 12 months. It also shows that mobile platforms can help historically unbanked regions gain financial access, as 1/3 of adults state that the cost of opening and maintaining a bank account is too high, and that bank agencies are just too far away. Actions must, and are, being taken to address this situation, ensuring a global effort for financial inclusion, thus creating a world of opportunities.

These providers and banks are looking for answers to the main issues regarding mobile money, while guaranteeing top level compliance with existing regulations. Without such knowledge of compliance and other regulations, MNOs, mobile money service providers and banks will not only find it challenging to acquire new customers respecting compliance, but also find it a nightmare to upgrade or upsell to existing customers. In effect, not taking advantage of the environment's full potential.
