GLOBAL UNBANKED REPORT

2016

2017

2018

2019

Started our e-commerce business from a faulty samsung tab whose battery last only 30min no matter how long you charge it with no office, no logistics and no capital

After one year in business, we noticed 96% of clients made payment via bank transfer. We conducted a research and the response was the fear of exposing their bank

We launched Ojirehprime card with the plan of encouraging online transactions notknowing the huge market potential but by the time we realized, we took a step backward,incorporated both in Nigeria and the United states as Ojirehprime Fianacial Services Limited

● Unlocked the different use cases of the card to different market segment● Saw the need to leverage on blockchain to promote cheaper and faster transactions● Expanded into remittance and cross-border transaction on a wallet to wallet basis without going to the bank

An estimated 2 billion adults, or 38 percent of all adults worldwide, remain excluded from the financial system today. The vast majority of them live in developing economies, where 46 percent of adults are unbanked. South Asia and East Asia and the Pacific are home to more than half the world’s unbanked(figure 1). In SouthAsia, about 625 million adults lack access to an account; in East Asia and the Pacific, about 490 million do.Indeed, just three Asian countries—India, China, and Indonesia—together account for almost 40 percent of unbanked adults globally. India is home to 21 percent of the world’s unbanked and about two-thirds of South Asia’s. China accounts for 12 percent of unbanked adults globally and Indonesia for 6 percent; together they are home to 7 of every 10 unbanked adults living in East Asia and the Pacific.

Sub-Saharan Africa, with about 230 million unbanked adults, accounts for 17 percent of the global total

WHY ARE PEOPLE UNBANKED?

We conducted a survey with questionnaires to gives respondents without an account at a financial institution the opportunity to explain why they do not have one. These respondents offer more than tworeasons on average. Globally, the most common one interestingly is not poverty as assumed by most report: it is lack of proper means of identification then followed by distance to financial institutions and lack of enough money to use an account: 65% percent cite documentation as a reason for being unbanked. Our research has proven that proper means of identification is the most prevalent reasonin sub saharan africa as against the assumption of lack of money.

Globally, more than 400 million adults receive wages or government transfers in cash. Converting private sector wages from cash to digital payments could bring 280 million unbanked adults into the financial system. Shifting the payment of government wages and transfers from cash into accounts could cut the number of unbanked adults by 160 million. Digitizing government payments could alsobenefit governments by improving the security, transparency, and efficiency of these payments. Another opportunity lies in payments for the sale of agricultural products. About 440 million unbanked adults in developing economies receive such payments in cash, including 125 million in Sub-SaharanAfrica and 105 million in South Asia. Moving these payments into accounts could increase the security of the payments and lay an infrastructure for person-to-person payments such as domestic remittances.

Some unbanked adults in developing economies already use digital payment channels for domestic remittances: 100 million adults either send or receive remittance payments through a financial service provider, for example, a money transfer operator like Western Union. For these people, shifting to theuse of an account for making and receiving payments should be easier than for those who have nevermade a digital payment and might hesitate to entrust their money to financial service providers. Even so,the 270 million unbanked adults in developing economies who send or receive domestic remittances using only cash represent an even bigger market opportunity. Digitizing payments and shifting cash paymentsinto accounts is not without challenges, however. These include making up-front investments in paymentsinfrastructure, ensuring that payment recipients understand how accounts work and can be accessed, andtaking steps to guarantee a reliable and consistent digital payments experience. Also important is to educate new account owners on the basic interactions in a digital payments system—using and rememberingpersonal identification numbers (PINs), understanding how to deposit and withdraw money, and knowing what to do when something goes wrong.

In developing economies, 160 million unbanked adults save “semi formally,” through an informal savings club or a person outside the family. In Sub-Saharan Africa, moving these savings into accounts couldincrease account penetration from 34 percent to up to 47 percent and add up to 70 million adults to the ranks of the banked—including about 40 million women. To enable a shift to formal saving, the challenge is to design financial products that meet the needs of the unbanked and make accounts a convenient and affordable alternative to semi formal ways of saving.

WHY ARE PEOPLE UNBANKED?

Page 6: OjirehPrime · 2019-07-11 · We want to provide alternative banking services to the largely unbanked African ... of the payments and lay an infrastructure for person-to-person payments

WHY PREPAID CARDS?

prepaid cardholders can instruct their employers or business partners to deposit their pay right on their cards, alleviating the need for cardholders to cash their checks and carry cash, an important consideration,especially if cardholders live in high-crime areas.

1. prepaid cards serve as a gateway to customers who operate outside the banking mainstream due to lack of appropriate identification to open a bank account.2. But even among the banked adults, prepaid cards simply offer a convenient way to transact online without exposing your bank card details or even avoid debt as cardholders can never spend more than the amount loaded on their cards. If there isn’t enough money on the card to cover a purchase, the card will be declined. 3. Prepaid cards not only appeal to those with damaged credit, but no credit whatsoever. This segment might include immigrants facing language barriers who have little understanding of the nations banking system.

USE CASE FOR THE UNBANKED

Because the prepaid cards aren’t linked to any account, identity thieves don’t have any sensitive personal or financial information to hack. It’s hard to hack information that doesn’t exist! So, while prepaid cardholders can pay bills and make in-store, online or mobile purchases just the same as debit and credit cardholders,they can also use their cards to keep their bank data private and secure.

HOW WE ARE CONNECTING AFRICA TO THE WORLD

The global remittance industry is huge. An estimate of about half a trillion dollars ($1,000,000,000,000) were officially recorded as remittances to developing countries in 2018. This new record level follows robust growth of 7.8 percent in 2017. Global remittances, which include flows to high-income countries, are projected to grow by 10.3 percent to $689 billion in 2019. The World Bank data shows that over $148 billion was sent abroad from the U.S. alone in 2017. As people leave nations gripped by hyperinflation, or simply move to look for better opportunities abroad, sending cash back home becomes a necessity.

cryptocurrency in general can get money from sender to receiver extremely quickly and at low cost. With No middle-men, high-level Security, at any time, From anywhere in the world to whomever you want and as much as you want

“It might be hard to send 1,000,000 USD to another country through a money transfer service or bank wire, but convert it to cryptocurrency, and you can send that money to anyone, anywhere, in seconds/minutes on the blockchain”
