At Stream11 shared few facts and learnings from Sub Saharan Africa; how this part of the world is leading digital practices in banking, mobile and innovation.
Banks have evolved from brick (branch) to bit (online) banking, but future belongs to virtual banking, where we can carry digitized form of money and pay anyone, at anytime instantaneously. Most of Sub Saharan markets are doing Mobile Commerce (M-PESA) for last couple of years.
Mobile as primary device, world will take another 3 years, where as Sub Saharan markets its always been primary and the only mode.
Digital innovation in Sub Saharan Africa is not driven by lifestyle, its about life and about livelihood.
