Notes
Mobile money service providers are those included in the GSM Association’s Mobile Money for the Unbanked (GSMA MMU) database.
The data also includes an additional 2 percent of respondents in 2021 who received wages, government transfers, a public sector pension, or payments for agricultural products through a mobile phone in the past year. Unlike the definition of account at a financial institution, the definition of mobile money account does not include the payment of utility bills or school fees through a mobile phone. The reason is that the phrasing of the possible answers leaves it open as to whether those payments were made using a mobile money account or an over-the-counter service. Questions screened for account ownership in the questionnaire do not include these additional 2 percent of respondents.
