Past Event:
Empowering Women on a Journey Towards Digital Financial Capability
Empowering women to build digital financial capabilities (DFC) is more important than ever to ensure women are not left behind as the financial industry moves toward widespread availability and adoption of digital financial services (DFS), and can use DFS with ease and confidence.
Women’s World Banking invites you to a conversation on digital financial capability and its role in building the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for women customers to effectively engage with digital financial services. Our innovative approach to building DFC is designed to ensure that low-income women can fully benefit from the transition to digital financial services, and offers an action-oriented, practical framework for how to develop effective DFC programs and initiatives. This event will feature a discussion on how FSPs and regulators can effectively support women customers to gain the confidence and skills to participate fully in the rapidly digitizing formal financial sector.
