11. Scope of Mobile Money in Nepal
Environmental Factors favoring Mobile Money in Nepal
Low Banking Penetration: More than 40% unbanked and under-banked out of total population. (Nepal Finscope Survey 2014)
High Mobile Penetration: Mobile penetration has crossed 118% which indicates usage of mobile phone by virtually every Nepali. (NTA’s MIS report of November 2016)
Increasing Internet Penetration: internet penetration has reached over 54% of the population indicating the increasing usage of internet and data services by the Nepalese. (NTA’s MIS report of November 2016)
Increasing Literacy Rate: As per World Bank Report, adult literacy rate now stands at 62% of adult population which is another favorable signal for mobile money business.
Enabling Regulation: Payment & Settlement Bylaw, Licensing policy for payment related institutions paving way for the banks and non-banks to introduce mobile money service; yet to provide operating license
