Africa countries differences and cell phones.
Well known differences are:
- All countries are with a high crime rate. |
- In rural towns there are one or two ATMs. The nearest bank is a 90 or more minute drive away.
- South Africa currently has one of the lowest savings rates in the world.
- Numbers of individuals are unable to access banking services because conventional banking is expensive, relative to their income.
Bank fees in South Africa are also some of the highest in the world.
- Nearly 80 million Africans now have cell phones, more than twice the number that has land lines.
I am agree that the cell phones are already used for music downloads and plays, text messaging - SMS, video games. In the press - middle of 2005 - was described a new technology created of one of biggest Cell phone company and one of biggest Bank company in Africa. This high-tech solution designed to help poor people here who never have had access to banks, cash machines, or credit cards.
"We believe that this very simple but very well-designed product has the potential to revolutionize banking on the African continent," says Mr. Singh.
