  • Vodafone: Expanding Access to Financial Services
    Vodafone: Expanding Access to Financial Services Initiative Description In 2008, Vodafone joined the Business Call to Action (BCtA) with its pledge to increase access to financial services, drive small-scale enterprise, and stimulate economic growth in key emerging markets through its Vodafone Money Transfer platform known locally in Kenya, Tanzania, Fiji, Afghanistan, and South Africa as M-PESA or M-Paisa. Vodafone’s goal: • Expand access of Money Transfer platform in Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Fiji, and Afghanistan so that people can securely receive or transfer money Business Model Across the developing world, lack of access to basic financial services hinders economic growth and development. Informal, cash-based economies leave citizens vulnerable to risks and without a secure means of saving or transferring money. Experts estimate that roughly three billion people worldwide are unbanked.1 For the vast majority of this population, paying bills, saving money, or sending cash to family members in another village, is a dangerous, time consuming, and expensive prospect. With roughly two billion mobile phone users in developing countries, mobile money transfer and payment services provide a potential solution to connect the millions of people who do not have access to formal financial services. In 2005, Vodafone won a grant from the UK Department of International Development to develop a new application that specifically targeted the unbanked in Africa. Vodafone chose to pilot the project in Kenya, where over 70 percent of households did not have bank accounts, but many had access to a mobile phone.2 The goal was to provide a mobile application which offered a valuable service for an underserved market group of low-income consumers that had use of a mobile phone yet lacked access to financial services.
