Abstract
Ugandans are increasingly diverting mobile money transactions to other lines, or initiating withdrawals directly from accounts of senders, in order to evade or defer payment of loans picked from telecoms and other online creditors.
Officials hail the onboarding of 51 million Ugandans—majority previously under-banked or unbanked—onto mobile money services, as evidence of deepening financial inclusion of the poor and the informal sector.
