Key Findings
  • Account ownership is near-universal in many high-income economies (often ~95–100%).
  • Mobile money significantly boosts inclusion in parts of Sub-Saharan Africa (e.g., very high reported ownership in Kenya and Rwanda).
  • Several fragile/low-income contexts remain very low, highlighting persistent inclusion gaps.

About This Statistic

This statistic measures the share of adults (age 15+) who report having an account at a bank or other financial institution, or using a mobile-money-service provider. It is a core indicator of financial inclusion—capturing how widely people can store money, make payments, and access formal financial services.

The data come from the World Bank’s Global Findex Database, which is based on nationally representative surveys. Account ownership is often linked to broader outcomes like the ability to receive wages and government transfers, save securely, and participate in the digital economy—though it varies widely across countries depending on income levels, infrastructure, and policy choices.
