Fintech landscape in Sub-Saharan Africa - the case of Mozambique: assessing the implementation of crowdfunding models
| Resumo: | The lack of access to traditional finance makes Sub-Saharan Africa an attractive market for the adoption of FinTech services. This report provides an overview of Sub-Saharan Africa’s Fintech landscape, highlighting the case of Mozambique. By constructing a database of active fintechs in the region, the report identifies top Fintech verticals and countries. To assess the factors behind FinTech success, a scoring model covering five pillars –regulation, demand, talent, capital and feeling of community –is also designed. These results served as the basis to explore the opportunities and challenges of Mozambique’s FinTech ecosystem and provide recommendations for its growth. |
