Dear Bankers in Sierra Leone: Time for a Digital Overhaul
In Sierra Leone today, where the median age is 19, financial literacy is well beyond the reach of both the young and old, especially the young. Banks lag, though they have the resources and digital platforms to reach prospective customers.
Why do banks exist in Sierra Leone? Is it solely to create profit for shareholders, or Is there a more significant mission? Be a catalyst for economic empowerment by providing financial services to individuals and businesses.
Instead of seeking to bring more people into the banking system, most banks in Sierra Leone focus on serving those already in it. This misdirection is why banks have no digital strategy despite claiming to be investing in digital transformation.
