About This Dataset

Countries with the Fewest People with Bank Accounts 2024
The 20 countries where the smallest share of adults have a bank account or mobile money account in 2024. Niger is lowest at 14.83% of adults, followed by Chad at 20.9% and Lebanon at 23.04%. Figures come from the World Bank Global Findex survey, which covered 139 countries in 2024.
✨ AI Insight

29 of the 139 surveyed countries have fewer than half of adults holding any account, while the median surveyed country reaches 72.83%. Mobile money counts here, which is why several African countries score far higher than their bank branch networks alone would suggest.
