In many developing countries, particularly in rural areas, access to financial services is costly and very limited. This translates to a large percentage of the population operating on a cash basis
only and outside of the formal banking system.
It is estimated that 40 percent of South Africa’s 45 million population are un-banked or under-banked. However, nearly 60 percent of South Africans have mobile phones. The proliferation of mobile services worldwide has created a unique opportunity to provide social and financial services over the mobile network.
WIZZIT, a client of the IFC, is one such ‘virtual bank’ in South Africa that is challenging the branch legacy that is associated with traditional banks, in order to bank the un-banked.
Through its investment in WIZZIT, IFC is supporting an ICT-enabled innovative solution with tremendous development impact.
