Opis

The mobile money transfer provides millions of Kenyans an easy and efficient mobile money service. Its stunning growth rate and widespread adoption is beyond impressive. So, what determines the adoption of this service among the un-banked rural communities? What are the welfare gains of this service in rural areas? We attempt to answer these questions in this piece. We also discuss the implications of the findings for policy and practice.
