Financial inclusion / TTO
Trinidad and Tobago
Trinidad and Tobago appears in 3 of the 5 Global Findex rounds in this file (2011, 2017, 2024). It has no account reading in 2014, 2021, 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. Each line is a separate survey estimate on a subsample, not a decomposition of the total.

The gaps
Gender gap is the men’s account rate minus the women’s; income gap is the richest 60% minus the poorest 40%. Both are differences between two survey estimates and the file publishes no standard error for either, so a gap of a few points is not distinguishable from zero.

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 | - | - | 64.1% | - | - |
| Saved at a bank or using mobile money | 44.4% | - | 36.2% | - | - |
| Borrowed from a bank or using mobile money | - | - | 27.5% | - | - |

Physical access points
From the IMF Financial Access Survey by way of the GFDD, which stops in 2021. Each figure is Trinidad and Tobago’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.
