Kenya Payment Card Transaction Value Stood USD 18.5 Bln in 2013, According to Timetric Report Published at MarketPublishers.com
London, UK (PRWEB) November 25, 2014 -- Kenya is turning into a hub for electronic payments, and is likely to become a focal point for wider growth across east Africa. The growth of the Kenyan cards and payments industry has been driven by a slew of demographic and economic forces. The country is deemed to be one of Africa’s most stable and peaceful nations. It is well positioned demographically and economically, with an average age for a Kenya being just 18, and robust GDP growth projected over the next five years. Young people are usually more enthusiastic about embracing technology and innovations, and have potentially longer working lives ahead of them, so that they are more than likely to become wealthier consumers of increased number of banking services and products.
Under Kenya’s policy of financial inclusion, the government and banks in the country are eager to make basic banking services available for individuals living in rural areas with limited access to banking infrastructure. Recently, the government has realized the need to reduce cash transactions, resulting in the banks starting to replace ATM cards with multipurpose debit cards.
In terms of the number of cards in use, Kenya’s payment cards (including credit, debit and charge cards) sector increased from 3.8 million cards in 2009 to 9.7 million as of 2013, at a CAGR of 26.32%. The value of payment card transactions stood at USD 18.5 billion in 2013, after posting a significant CAGR of just under 34.5% during the review period.
