Africa, with nearly 1 billion people, 50% of them under the age of 15, is the
next frontier for economic growth. The diversity of the African continent calls
for alternative methods of reaching consumers with financial services products.
There is an opportunity for innovative players to leapfrog traditional products
and technology to grow markets. Banks, insurers, retail merchants, brokers, and
information technology providers, amongst others, have discovered the
opportunities in convergence of business models. |
