Context:

Globally, over 1 billion people remain unbanked, relying solely on cash for everyday transactions. This exposes them to security risks, travel burdens, and limited economic opportunity.

What is Mobile Money?

  • Mobile money enables financial transactions via text messages on mobile phones.
  • Unlike traditional banking, it does not require internet access or physical bank branches.
  • Users can:
    • Send/receive money using a phone number as an account
    • Deposit/withdraw money through mobile money agents (e.g., kiosks, shops)
