Ever since his experience in fintech at one of Africa's largest telecom companies, Yanju Folarin has been on a mission to increase financial inclusion in West Africa. To further investigate mobile money as a tool for increasing financial access, Yanju traveled to Nigeria, Ghana, and Benin to visit the hubs of financial activity in each location: the marketplaces. While there, he spoke with mobile money agents and the people that use their servcies in an attempt uncover any opportunities that could help unbanked people access financial tools that can help better their lives.

This is his Inspiration Grant story.
