Access to affordable, accessible and appropriate financial products and services that meet the needs of underserved populations is a critical step toward broader economic and social inclusion and improved financial health. Digital financial services can allow people to store money, send and receive payments, leverage credit and insure their assets in order to improve the overall quality of their lives.
