Promoting Migrant Remittances using Mobile Banking

Evidence from a Field Experiment

Promoting Migrant Remittances using Mobile Banking

The recent introduction of mobile banking services in rural areas of Mozambique created the opportunity to undertake a randomized impact evaluation of the introduction of this technology in rural and traditionally unbanked areas. Aware of the importance of urban-rural remittances to previous successful cases in similar contexts (namely M-PESA in Kenya), this project focuses on assessing the impact of the mobile banking technology on the level of urban-rural transfers within households and consequent household economic behaviour.
