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.
Analysis
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.
