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.

Physical access points

From the IMF Financial Access Survey by way of the GFDD, which stops in 2021. Each figure is Turkey’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.
