## Why this matters for your business

With 81.4% internet usage and 56.95% of the population already transacting electronically, Botswana has a highly connected and increasingly digital consumer base. Yet card usage stands at just 28.1%, making broader local payment options important for businesses looking to capture demand in a digital payments market projected to reach $6.38 billion in 2026.
