Dataset: 2024 FinAccess Household Survey
What are the key factors driving financial inclusion in Kenya today? To find out, I analysed data from 20,871 interviews from the 2024 FinAccess Household Survey.
🔎 Key Insights:
- 🏦 Financial exclusion remains widespread in Kenya
- Bank account ownership rates vary dramatically, from 92.5% in Nairobi to just 44.1% in West Pokot
- Youth are especially underserved: only 16.7% of 15–19 year olds have a bank account
A pathway to Inclusion:
- 📈 There is a strong correlation between mobile phone ownership and access to financial services
- ⚡ A high-impact, scalable strategy: expand mobile access especially in rural areas and among young people
