10 of the world’s fastest-growing economies. Yet a study last year by the
African Development Bank, German International Co-operation and the World Bank
found less than 20% of households have a formal bank account, and only 23% of
enterprises have loans or lines of credit.
Informal financial arrangements, savings clubs (stokvels) and other independent moneylenders seem to meet the continent’s needs and are often defended as an "African solution to African problem". However, these are largely imperfect substitutes — unreliable, unsecure and rarely private.

It’s easier to find a bank that will issue cards than one that will acquire transactions. This has all led to a big imbalance between supply and demand. This may lead to businesses seeking greener pastures overseas.
