Abstract: This study aims to highlight the initiatives undertaken by fintech companies in Côte d'Ivoire to access and use financial services, including by promoting financial inclusion. The study focused primarily on mobile money accounts and how they have already improved financial inclusion in Côte d'Ivoire, drawing on the analytical descriptive approach. The study found a dynamic ecosystem of players from different sectors, but access to finance remains the most difficult. On the other hand, Côte d'Ivoire is an emerging fintech platform, driven by the rapid adoption of « mobile money », where it has witnessed strong investor enthusiasm for digital finance, driven by favourable factors such as young people in the population, increasing the spread of smartphones, high-speed Internet and expanding populations without bank accounts.
