Cameroon

No Open Banking

Cameroon sits at the crossroads of West Africa and Central Africa.

37% of people in Cameroon have access to the internet, and 79% of the population have a mobile phone connection.

52% of adults in Cameroon had bank accounts, leaving 48% unbanked. People widely prefer informal credit over formal credit. The mistrust of the banking industry has been cited as a reason for the sluggish development of mobile money Fintech. 

Cameroon ranked 105th out of 134 countries in Wiley’s Digital Skills Global Index 2021
