View help for Summary
Who uses mobile money, and what do people do with it? This paper
describes mobile money adoption patterns following the experimental
introduction of mobile money for the first time in rural areas of
Southern Mozambique. We use administrative and household survey data to
characterize adopters as well as their mobile money usage patterns over
three years. Adopters of mobile money (and early adopters in particular)
are more educated than nonadopters, and they are also more likely to
already hold a bank account. Positive self-selection of adopters should
be considered when introducing mobile money as a tool for rapid
financial inclusion.
