        Beyond Access: Turning Digital Finance into Financial Resilience

        About this session

        Opening an account is not the same as becoming financially secure. A household can have digital payments and still be one illness, failed harvest or income shock away from expensive debt. The next test for financial inclusion is therefore not simply whether people enter the financial system, but whether the system helps them withstand disruption and recover. Digital payment histories can support savings, credit and insurance for people with little formal financial history, while partnerships between banks, microfinance institutions and fintechs can extend services beyond traditional customer bases. The panel examines what resilience looks like in practice and which products, data models and partnerships measurably improve financial security for informal workers, women and small businesses.
