1
In developing countries, rural populations have limited access to banks.
2
In some sub-Saharan African countries, like Uganda, less than a quarter of the population have a bank account.
3
One of the reasons for this is that there are very few branches.
4
The average Uganda, the average East African, has no time to come to the bank.
5
Two, some of the banks are situated very far from where the people are, where they live and where they do their businesses.
6
And in countries like Uganda, one of the key issues is that bank accounts are simply too expensive for many.
7
Secondly, the cost of opening a bank account in this part of the world is still very prohibitive.
8
Sadly, the cost of maintaining a bank account is very high.
9
However, there are other ways of accessing the services banks can provide.
10
In 2018, 70% of the Ugandan population had a mobile phone.
11
This is why the mobile money service, MSENTE, has become popular and has significantly improved many aspects of people's lives.
12
Mobile money is typically a money transfer service.
13
It is in the ordinary language, sending of money from one person to another.
14
Sending money through a mobile phone is safe and easy.
15
An agent, usually a shopkeeper, can accept your deposit and top up your balance, which is saved to the SIM card in your phone.
16
Most of people use mobile money because it's very easy.
17
There's no need of carrying money, taking to bank, we are carrying money paying somebody.
18
Once a customer has made a deposit, money can then be transferred to another account through a text message for a small fee.
19
This system doesn't require an internet connection, so people can use even a very basic phone.
20
It can be used to pay for anything from food to gas and electricity.
21
They are in control of their money and expenses without having to open a bank account.
22
Customers can also use the system to send money to friends
23
and relatives relatives and can even have their salary paid directly into their MSENTE account.
24
The success of MSENTE's mobile money services in Uganda has encouraged companies in other African countries
25
and in other continents to set up similar models.
26
It is spreading quickly through Asia where rural communities also face challenges with traditional banking.
27
Wherever they are used, mobile money services provide financial freedom for people in developing countries
28
and benefit the economy from the bottom up.
29
The simpler it is to make transactions, the easier it is for poorer or rural communities to do business.
30
And more business means more economic growth.
31
Thank you.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
