Knowing who is banked, what products they are using and who they are banking with is critical information needed in the banking industry to make strategic decisions about what products to offer and where to place their branches and ATMs. This information can be accessed and mapped from the FinScope surveys that are implemented in many African countries. Information on insurance penetration and the concentration of micro, small and medium enterprises can also be accessed. AfricaScope works with various agencies in facilitating access to this information.
