Abstract
This report summarizes key lessons of the YouthSave project carried out in Colombia, Ghana, Kenya, and Nepal between 2010 and 2015. It concludes that product features, financial institution outreach, parental support, proper incentives (both for young customers and for bank staff), savings reminders, and physical proximity all were important factors in increasing young people’s savings frequency and balances.
