How cash is carried across Congo

Thanks for sharing. Only around 18% of adults in the world receive a salary into an account. In places where employers have made the switch from cash to electronic, it&#x27;s not uncommon for staff to complain that they&#x27;ve been overpaid, sometimes by as much as 50%.<p>Too much cash goes missing between employer and employee. It&#x27;s expensive being poor, but being unbanked makes it a whole lot worse.

I&#x27;m surprised M-Pesa hasn&#x27;t entered Congo, seems a real opportunity there for a recognised and trusted mobile banking service.

Sounds dystopian, even for me who lives in neighboring Kenya.

The article did not tell me how cash was carried.
