Opportunity International: Banking on Africa

Opportunity International works in 28 countries providing access to financial tools, services, and training for more than a million people living in poverty.

This video shows how Opportunity International is helping to deliver financial services to people in Africa isolated from traditional banking systems. Access to services such as mobile banking can help the poor build a safety net for the future by giving them the financial tools necessary to start or expand a business, save money in a safe place, and invest in their communities by creating jobs.
