Malawi’s central bank highlighted room for improvement in the country’s mobile money industry, as a programme to remove dormant accounts caused a drop of 13 per cent in the total registered number in Q4 2019.
In its national payments system report the Reserve Bank of Malawi said the number of mobile money accounts in the country fell to 6.2 million by the end of 2019, down 13 per cent on the figure reported at end-Q3.
During the quarter registered agent numbers increased to 52,200 (up 4 per cent sequentially).
