Financial inclusion / BDI
Burundi
Burundi appears in 2 of the 5 Global Findex rounds in this file (2011, 2014). It has no account reading in 2017, 2021, 2024, so those columns are empty below rather than interpolated.
Account ownership by group
Share of adults aged 15 and over with an account at a bank or with a mobile money provider. Mobile money entered that definition in the 2014 round, so a 2011 point counts financial-institution accounts only. Each line is a separate survey estimate on a subsample, not a decomposition of the total.

Payments, saving and borrowing
The digital-payment, saved and borrowed indicators are not collected in every round or for every economy: in the 2024 round they are reported for a subset of the economies that report account ownership.
| Share of adults age 15+ | 2011 | 2014 | 2017 | 2021 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Made or received a digital payment | - | 4.3% | - | - | - |
| Mobile money account | - | 0.7% | - | - | - |
| Saved at a bank or using mobile money | 3.3% | 4.0% | - | - | - |
| Borrowed from a bank or using mobile money | - | 1.6% | - | - | - |

Physical access points
From the IMF Financial Access Survey by way of the GFDD, which stops in 2021. Each figure is Burundi’s latest reported year, which is shown beside it and is not necessarily the same year as another economy’s. These are the published values, reproduced without adjustment; for at least one economy the published branch and ATM counts are not physically possible, which the methodology page documents.

Access infrastructure (IMF Financial Access Survey)
Findex above measures use: whether adults say they have an account. The FAS measures infrastructure: what regulators count. For Burundi the FAS carries readings from 2004 to 2022, annual rather than in survey rounds, pulled directly from the IMF’s API.

Accounts per 1,000 adults. A registered mobile-money count above 1,000 means more registrations than adults. Registered mobile-money accounts (FA67N) and active mobile-money accounts (FA63N) are separate FAS indicators, reported independently.
