In Africa, there are 340 money agents per 100,000 people. Yet, only six
ATMs per 100,000. With the continent yet to embrace any real ambitious
litigation finance marketplace, the question remains if a new form of
business such as litigation funding can sweep across Africa.

Simon-kucher.com’s new report
<https://www.simon-kucher.com/en/blog/agency-banking-how-banks-and-fs-providers-can-thrive?utm_source=amplify_organic&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=agency-banking-how-banks-and-fs-providers-can-thrive_2022-02-11&utm_term=na_blog&utm_content=english_sales_banking>
on
banking in Africa outlines the pivotal role mobile money has played in
innovation of the continent’s banking sector. Similarly, money agents offer
financial services including taking deposits, cashing out funds and
facilitating transactions. The report suggests that the future of
litigation finance in Africa consists of building strong litigation
investment portfolios.

The value in African litigation finance lies in capturing premium cases in
key markets. Also, international human rights litigation can be acted upon
simultaneously in large Western markets (like New York State). For example,
a human rights claim of a large bank in New York who had potentially
violated human rights in Kenya could be a segway into building a strong
ligation investment portfolio in Africa.

There are many barriers to entry for litigation funders in Africa, but as
the report notes, there is opportunity as well.
