Walk down any street in Nairobi, Dar-Es-Salam, or Cairo or in a small African town it seems everyone, including teenagers, has a phone to their ear. Indeed, for those 18 and under, few have known a world without mobiles. Not surprising school age boys and girls (5-14), teens (14-18), or young people entering the labor force or tertiary education (over 18), are seen as a potential new market for the provision of financial services. While recent experimentation in this space has focused on savings, there is growing consensus that young people should be able to access a full range of financial services, with the priorities changing as they advance in their life cycle. Not only are youth savings and youth financial education hot topics in the financial services space but there is also a growing recognition that young people have money, and technology based financial services offer a gateway for their financial inclusion.
