Welcome to our blog on Financial and Digital Inclusion. We discuss how digital finance, mobile wallets, and fintech innovations are improving access to financial services in underserved communities.
Fintech’s role in financial literacy
Low financial literacy limits budgeting and access to services for low-income earners. Fintech platforms like Blipply offer tools to track income, control spending, and boost financial knowledge.
Digital payments increases security
Digital payments improve safety for informal merchants by lowering cash risks, securing transactions, and providing a clear sales record. Learn how Blipply safeguards earnings and enhances financial stability.
Tech empowers female entrepreneurs
Female entrepreneurs drive Africa’s informal economy but struggle with cash-based challenges. Platforms like Blipply empower them with safer, accessible tools to grow businesses and advance gender equality.
Impact of cashless payments
How switching from cash and card payments to digital payments offers environmental benefits. Research shows how digital payments can reduce carbon emissions and resource use.
Credit scoring: a path to financial inclusion
In Africa’s informal economy, cash dependency limits financial history and access to loans. Blipply bridges the gap by helping users become financially included through shopping.
Incentives drive lasting behaviour change
How tailored incentives can drive sustainable behaviour change in Africa’s informal economy: a pathway to digital payments and, in the long term, financial and digital inclusion.
Driving inclusion in informal economies
Aid organisations can boost inclusion in informal economies by teaming with platforms and banks. The partnerships improve aid delivery, track outcomes, and expand digital financial access.
Achieving financial and digital inclusion
In the digital economy, financial and digital inclusion is essential for economic growth and stability. However, being financially included requires more than just a digital wallet or a bank account.
