The document discusses the mobile money landscape in Benin. It notes that mobile money has significantly increased financial inclusion in Benin, where mobile penetration is around 87% but banking penetration is only around 10%. Mobile money facilitates around 8 billion CFA francs in deposits and 7 billion CFA francs in withdrawals daily. The goal is to increase use of digital financial services like mobile money to 12% of Benin's adult population by 2019. Currently, mobile network operators generally require partnerships with banks to provide mobile money services, but some operators are seeking direct licenses to become electronic money issuers and distribute payment means independently.
