Abstract
Earlier this year, Consultative Group to
Assist the Poorest (CGAP) teamed up with the Global System
for Mobile Communications (GSM) Association (GSMA) (a global
trade association for the mobile communications industry)
and McKinsey (a global management consulting firm) to
measure the global market for financial services delivered
via mobile phones (mobile money) in 147 developing
countries. This is the first study of mobile money and the
unbanked-those without access to formal financial
services-estimated to be almost four billion worldwide.
