Global Panorama on Postal Financial Inclusion 2016

The Global Panorama on Postal Financial Inclusion 2016 is the second opus of the UPU's flagship publication on the contribution of postal networks to financial inclusion. The study reveals that 91% of Posts worldwide offer some form of financial services, either on their own or in partnership with other financial institutions. A total of 1.5 billion people globally – or 28% of the world's adult population – access services such as remittances, government payments, insurance, current accounts, savings, or loans, through a postal channel. Among these, 1 billion people hold a current or savings account with a Post.
