## Why this matters for your business

With card usage at just 9.5% and only 34.9% of the population banked, traditional payment access remains limited in The Gambia. Mobile Money provides an important alternative for reaching consumers beyond conventional banking, making local payment support essential as the country’s $823.31 million digital payments market continues to develop.
