This report will be particularly useful to providers who are in the country or invest in the country, or operate in countries that have large numbers of migrants sending money to that country. It will also be useful to Development agencies, Regulators and Government bodies and Funding organisations. As this report covers a historic period in the development of branchless banking, in a country that is one of the pioneers of mobile-based branchless banking, it will be useful to people who are involved in similar projects elsewhere in the world.
As other countries have also adopted similar regulatory models, this report is relevant to those interested in other countries engaged in similar market development activity.
You will find this Series of reports useful if you are in Telecoms, Banking, Payments, Technology, Cards, Retail, Money Transfer, Venture Financing – indeed few industries are not actually touched by the revolution we make sense of here.
It will be relevant to you if you are considering, or not considering entry into financial services. If you are considering entry it will help you uncover aspects that we hope will contribute to the success of your enterprise. If you are not considering entry it will provide a useful guide for you to anticipate and detect changes that may affect your business. Did the advent of acceptance of cards affect your business? If it did, then get prepared for Digital Money 2.0.
If you are new to this field, you will still find this a useful introduction but may need to supplement this report with others in our series. Please contact us to request details of our full range of products and services including Country, Regional and Service reports and Player and Group profiles.
