The growth of FinTech and the stagnancy of the gender gap in financial inclusion has brought about new and creative approaches to using technology to improve women’s access to financial services. In this webinar, we talked to two organizations - DFS Lab and UNCDF - who have recently organized competitions around women-focused FinTech, and discuss the sustainability, expectation and stimulus of such initiatives. 

With one in every three women still being financially excluded, there is increased recognition of the role that gendered social norms play in limiting economic opportunities for women. 

While mobile phone access is a strong influencer of digital financial services amongst women, barriers to usage are often less clear.

Learn practical ways to integrate gender in financial inclusion research using Oxfam's new guidelines on Integrating Gender in Research Planning. These were recently shared with FinEquity members during a webinar in collaboration with Oxfam.
