A qualitative study on women’s access to financial services in Mozambique (covering selected provinces in the South, center and Northern regions of the country) found that women have shown great propensity to adhere to financial services, particularly savings. They are more dynamic in finding financial solutions through the use of various financial products, mainly informal mechanisms but also value formal services. The study confirms that there is a correlation between the ability to generate income and participation in the decision-making process at the level of the household. A few opportunities were identified to advance women’s financial inclusion through financial product design and diversification, financial literacy and improved convenience in transactions via mobile banking.
