It’s no secret that Africa leads the pack in mobile money payments. But just how much deployments are there and how Africa compares to the rest of the world is still largely unknown.
That’s why Francis Lubanga, a Telecom and Mobile finance expert who also maintains an industry blog created a map showing mobile money installations across the world.
According to the map, Africa for instance has over 50 Mobile Money providers while Asia has more than 20, South America has about 6 and North America has none.
The project is intended to create a community-edited map of all mobile money deployments in the world. The deployments mapped are MNO-led Mobile Money deployment. Francis invites more collaborators to add more data to the map.
