Mobile money has become the mainstay of financial inclusion in Africa, from closing the financial inclusion gender gap to unlocking access to essential utility services, delivering urgent humanitarian cash assistance and digitising payments for smallholder farmers. The African continent pioneered the success of mobile money and has long been viewed, and rightfully so, as the epicentre of this still rapidly growing industry – but the market is still going from strength to strength. What have been the key drivers behind this steady growth? And how will it continue to evolve and adapt to the ever-changing mobile money industry? And how has the regulatory environment on the continent changed?

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about unprecedented challenges for the global economy and has affected global health systems, peoples’ livelihoods and will, invariably, leave long-lasting economic effects. With the pandemic threatening to push millions of people into poverty, sustainability of mobile money services and continuation of consequent financial inclusion and socioeconomic gains is more paramount than ever.

As part of Financial Inclusion Week, we invite you to join us in this webinar to deep dive into Africa’s core mobile money trends over the past year. We will explore:

• The main drivers fuelling Africa’s growth and areas posing strong opportunity for further growth;
• The triggers behind Africa’s increasingly dynamic and digital landscape;
• Key regulatory trends for the region as well as industry best practices;
• COVID-related mobile money-specific regulatory, policy, government and provider interventions across the region.

Register now and join the team behind the State of the Industry Report on Mobile Money 2019 to uncover the key findings of Africa’s mobile money landscape. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions at the end.
