Mzanzi accounts working for banks

Development organisation FinScope’s research shows that between 2004 and 2008 the number of banked adults increased from 6m to 20m, with the Mzansi initiative accounting for two- thirds of the newly banked. But with almost 12m adults still unbanked, it is an ongoing process. Standard Bank alone is opening 40000 Mzansi accounts every month

There is a perception that empowerment programmes must be cost centres. A sustainable programme has to be mutually beneficial. I am very glad to see that Mzansi is working for the banks – you can expect to see more products coming out.
