DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "The Banking Industry in Kenya 2019" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Banking Sector in Kenya:
Kenya's financial sector is well developed although the country is considered overbanked with 40 registered banks. The market is highly concentrated with the 12 listed commercial banks owning 89% of the total assets in 2018. Commentators view the industry as well capitalised and performance is steadily picking up momentum since the market shock of 2016 when the government introduced capped interest rates that discouraged savings, reduced private sector and SME access to credit and impeded banking sector competition, particularly by reducing smaller banks' profitability. Innovations such as agent banking, which allows commercial banks and microfinance banks to engage the services of third party outlets to deliver specified financial services on their behalf, have improved financial inclusion in rural and urban areas.
Mobile Money:
Mobile financial services are the preferred method to access financial services and are used by almost 80% of the adult population. There are more than 20 digital credit services in Kenya, and new services continue to come on stream. Mobile money services include M-Pesa, M-Shwari, Airtel Money, Orange/Telkom Money, Equitel Money, Mobikash and Tangaza, with M-Pesa having the bulk of the market share in terms of active subscribers, number of transactions, and value of transactions. Total mobile money transactions in Kenya reached US$38.5bn in 2018, and the total number of mobile money accounts in Kenya reached 45.43 million.
