The study aims to understand how existing infrastructure may facilitate an increasingly integrated regional financial services market by mapping out the domestic and cross-border retail payments landscape in the region. The study focused on five out of the six East African Community (EAC) member countries - Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi - and included both desktop and in-country interviews. Country interviews were completed in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda.
