Rural areas lack adequate financial services (63% unbanked in rural areas) Key learnings With 35% of population living in rural areas, most unbanked, P2P payments from urban to rural and within local communities and G2P may make sense Low population density will make agent roll-out a challenge Market size will likely not enable more than 2 offerings to be viable and critical mass will be key Opportunity to jointly develop both MFS and mobile penetration in rural areas Sources: CIA, CGAP, WorldBank
