Abstract
In the first empirical assessment of the incidence of mobile banking on financial
intermediary development in Africa !e use t!o definitions of the financial system: the
traditional I"S #$%%&' and Asongu #$%11' measures of financial sector importance. (hen the
conception of a financial system is based only on banks and other financial institution #I"S
$%%&' mobile banking has a negative incidence on traditional financial intermediary
dynamics of depth activity and si)e. *o!ever !hen a previously missing informal-financial
sector component is integrated into the definition #Asongu $%11' mobile-banking has a
positive incidence on informal financial intermediary development. +hree ma,or implications
result from the findings. #1' +here is a gro!ing role of informal finance in developing
countries. #$' +he incidence of the burgeoning phenomenon of mobile-banking cannot be
effectively assessed at a macroeconomic level by traditional financial development indicators.
#' It is a !ake-up call for scholarly research on informal financial intermediary development
indicators !hich !ill oriented monetary policy since a great chunk of the monetary base#/%'
in less developed countries is no! captured by mobile-banking.

this case the distribution of surplus is contingent on the relative bargaining po!er of the bank
and mobile service provider. +his sort of contract more closely resembles an euity contract
bet!een t!o parties. Euity-like contracts are more likely to be comple< and therefore more
difficult to negotiate than debt-like contracts there-by presenting a potential hurdle to!ards
the goal of increasing access.

6orro!ing from 8emombynes +hegeya #$%1$' =enya has undergone a remarkable
information and communication technology #I;+' revolution. At the turn of the 122%s less
than M of =enyan households o!ned a telephone and less than 1 in 1%%% =enyan adults had
mobile phone service. *o!ever by the end of $%11 2 percent of =eynan households o!ned
a mobile phone. +his soar is largely credited to the /-7ESA mobile-banking net!ork.
6anks are recogni)ing the potential of reaching millions of prospective customers
especially the rural population !ho account for more than 3%M of AfricaDs total population
and have no access to banking services #4ndiege $%1%'. +he rural commercial bank branch
net!ork is yet underdeveloped. *o!ever since above G%M of the adult population in Africa
has access to 0S/s mobile banking could enable the rural population to have access to
financial services as demonstrated by the cases of =enya and South Africa. +he cost of formal
banking in Africa is uite high: in some countries the minimum deposit can be as high as
G%M of per capita 087. /ore so internet and broadband subscription are still lo! making
internet banking out of reach for most of the population. In this regard mobile banking can be
used to provide financial services to the unbanked. "inancial institutions and Cmobile phoneD
service providers are introducing resourceful methods of bringing these CunservedD
populations into the formal economy using mobile phones. As concerns banks the main
advantages of the mobile phone lie in its capacities to reach every!here. Its po!er is in
transforming the economics of service delivery especially by mitigating costs of financial
transactions. /obile banking is a po!erful means of delivering savings services to the billions
of people !orld!ide !ho have a cell phone but not a bank account. It has a number of
advantages over traditional banking methods as it breaks do!n geographical constraints it
also offers other advantages such as immediacy efficiency and security.
