Financial Inclusion

A more inclusive, sustainable world, where the digital economy works for everyone, everywhere

Overview

One billion and beyond

In 2015 we committed to connecting 500M people previously excluded from financial services to the financial mainstream.

Upon meeting our initial goal in 2020, we broadened our commitment to connect 1 billion underserved individuals into the digital economy by 2025.

Beyond access to the formal economy, we seek to ensure economic prosperity, particularly for those previously excluded.

Our strategic focus: Evolution from access to financial security and health

Our financial inclusion strategy is centered around 4 components along the pathway to prosperity.

Access

Users can obtain relevant financial (payments) products or services at sufficiently low cost, good availability, and sufficient convenience

Usage

Users employ high quality financial (payments) products and services due to high levels of trust and satisfaction with sufficient frequency to realize their benefits

Financial Security

Users can manage their  finances and meet their basic financial needs in the near term such as covering daily expenses and dealing with financial emergencies due to access and use financial products

Financial Health

Users can access and use a broad set of financial services (payments, savings, credit, insurance, investments) which allows them to be well-positioned to improve their wellbeing, and able to confidently plan
