About the indicator

The number of commercial bank branches per 100,000 adults. The indicator was conceived as a measure of access to financial services, but it now calls for care in reading: in countries where banking has moved onto the phone, branches are closing, and a falling value means not a loss of access but a change in its form. The clearest case is Kenya and other countries of East Africa, where mobile money reached the population bypassing branches altogether.

Important: A measure of the physical presence of banks, not of access to financial services. Where mobile payments are widespread, a low value does not indicate financial exclusion.
