Digital Finance
Innovative services to serve clients better
Research and experience has shown that mobile financial services can support financial inclusion in emerging and developing countries through improving access to financial services.
The range of digital financial services has expanded. Digital solutions exist for payments or for regular savings, deposits, withdrawals, transfers, and for credit operations. These digital services, along with the use of proximity distribution channels (an agents’ network, for example), significantly increase the number of financial service users from social users to business users as well as cash transfer services in vulnerable humanitarian situation. Improving financial inclusion requires robust and sustainable approach. It is then important to build products and services that match clients' needs as closely as possible, as well as to set up systems to manage risk efficiently.

A Dynamic Ecosystem
Digital finance is emerging in dissimilar environments. The corresponding regulatory frameworks are at varying stages of development from one country to another, and services are more or less controlled. Regulation is another major focus for financial inclusion, as it is the prerequisite condition for forging effective partnerships and defining the best customer protection.
