Report Summary
Mobile Money: The Emerging Payment Ecosystem
Mobile money provides a road to financial inclusion for billions of unbanked people in emerging markets.
Boston, June 7, 2018 – Two billion adults did not have access to an account at a financial institution in 2014, predominantly in emerging markets; however, the situation had significantly improved since 2011, when 2.5 billion people were excluded from banking services. One of the main drivers of this improvement in financial inclusion was the increasing adoption of mobile money accounts and related financial services. Mobile money offers a new opportunity to financial service providers, companies, and public authorities to reach billions of underserved people around the world.
