# Target Audience

## 3.2 Target Audience

The YassirPayToken project is uniquely positioned to appeal to several key demographic groups within the African and Middle Eastern markets. Each of these groups presents a significant opportunity for adoption and growth, driven by their specific needs, preferences, and the current gaps in financial services available to them. By understanding these target audiences, YassirPayToken can effectively tailor its offerings to meet their demands and maximize its impact.

### **1. The Unbanked and Underbanked**

One of the most significant demographic groups in Africa is the unbanked and underbanked population. Despite the continent's rapid economic growth, a large portion of the population remains without access to traditional banking services. According to the World Bank, nearly 57% of adults in Sub-Saharan Africa do not have a bank account, largely due to factors such as the lack of banking infrastructure, high fees, and the distance to the nearest financial institution.

**Why They Matter:**

* **Financial Inclusion**: YassirPayToken can provide these individuals with access to financial services through their mobile devices, bypassing the need for traditional banks.
* **Empowerment**: By offering a decentralized, easy-to-use financial tool, YassirPayToken can empower the unbanked to save, transfer money, and participate in the broader economy, fostering financial independence.
