The pioneers

We have already seen that Mobile Money is a popular payment method. But especially in Africa the enormous demand is evident, as there the new technology is used much more often in everyday life than in Europe. A long way or high fees make banks much less attractive than a Mobile Wallet. So it is no wonder that we also see the steady growth and increasing popularity of Mobile Money in the demand of our customers. Especially countries like Ghana, Nigeria and Kenya are the main users of Mobile Wallets.

Independent decision in Nigeria

At the beginning of October, Nigeria celebrates the country’s independence. Even outside of Nigeria, in the USA, people on the streets are celebrating Nigeria’s independence and their own. But being independent also means being free to decide about your own money. Compared to other African countries, Mobile Money is not yet so widespread in Nigeria. There are still very few service providers there with which sending money to a Mobile Wallet is possible. But slowly more and more companies see the potential in the Mobile Money market. Since only about 40% of the population in Nigeria have a bank account, a Mobile Wallet would be a real alternative to a bank account for all other inhabitants.

Rapid growth in Ghana

Where it used to be difficult to transfer money to a Mobile Wallet because of legal regulations, interest has been growing steadily since the loosening of the regulations in 2015. Meanwhile the Mobile Money market in Ghana is the fastest growing in all of Africa. Since the majority of the population in Ghana owns a cell phone, it is the easiest and fastest way for most adults to send, manage and receive money.

Long ways in Kenya

Mobile Money is no longer a rarity in Kenya either. About 80% of the Kenyan population has a bank account, but it is still difficult to get one’s own money. The long journey alone is reason enough for most people to set up a Mobile Wallet. True to the motto: “Why go to the bank, if one can have the bank always with itself”, meanwhile over 50% of the adult Kenyans owns a Mobile Wallet.
