DESCRIPTION

In this webinar, I shared updates on the growing shift from mobile money to broader digital financial services to promote financial inclusion. These broader services include greater integration and convergence of electronic funds transfers, debit/ATM cards, and agent banking. Over the past couple of years, a range of public and private players such as USAID, the Better Than Cash Alliance, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Alliance for Financial Inclusion, and other groups have actively supported or focused on policy areas that promoted the use of digital financial services for greater financial inclusion. With the greater role of governments, regulators, private sector players, and more importantly, the role and perspective of clients at the base of the economic pyramid, this new emphasis on digital financial services, has a much better chance of accomplishing deeper financial inclusion than we have seen in the past. This presentation focuses on this broader approach to improving financial inclusion and shares lessons learned from a practitioner in the field point of view.

Shift to Broader Digital Financial Services: Gates Foundation

Rationale for the Better Than Cash Alliance

An alliance of Governments, Private Sector, and Development Organizations to create a global movement from cash to electronic payments;

Billions of dollars in cash payments are made every day in emerging and developing economies for salaries, to

suppliers, for pensions and social welfare, relief etc.With appropriate digitization of these payments both

payee and payer can have great benefits...

Digital money can bring five main social benefits

Cost Savings: decrease costs of cash or in-kind payments.

Transparency: increase accountability and tracking, reducing corruption and theft.

Security: typically safer and faster delivery.

Financial Inclusion: can accelerate access to financial services.

New Market Access: open doors for new business models for previously excluded people.
