The increased pervasiveness of technology in Africa has increasingly facilitated the growth of mobile financial services. In Africa where financial inclusion is so limited, mobile financial services provide avenue for majority urban and rural population to participate in economic activities. This article is set to analyse bank guidelines as well as regulations on electronic payment systems from the perspective of the right to privacy of customers in Africa. Illustrations of regulatory issues raised in this article are drawn from different African countries
