How Africa Built a Banking System Without Banks

How did Africa build one of the world's most important financial systems without putting a bank branch at the centre of it? Mobile money transformed how millions of Africans send, receive and spend money. What began with simple mobile-phone transactions evolved into a financial ecosystem connecting cash, mobile wallets, banks, merchants, fintechs and businesses. In this episode of This Is Africa Unpacked, we explore the rise of M-Pesa, the mobile-money agent network, Ghana's mobile-money revolution, the economics behind the industry, its challenges, and why Africa's approach to financial inclusion is influencing the future of money.
