World Bank Findex Data: 2011, 2014 and 2017. The data may be linked to the Gallup World Poll raw data to

enhance analytical options. Home is here: https://globalfindex.worldbank.org/

1.2 billion adults worldwide have opened an account since Gallup and the World Bank started tracking these

data in 2011, including 515 million in the past three years.

Globally, 69% of adults -- or 3.8 billion people -- now have an account at a bank or with a mobile money

provider.

1.7 billion adults do not have a bank account. But more than 1 billion of these unbanked adults have a mobile

phone, which potentially offers convenient access to financial services.

The gap between men and women in account ownership is just as wide in 2017 as it was when it was first

measured.

Having access to the internet as well as a mobile phone puts a wider range of financial services within reach.
