Financial Inclusion

Financial inclusion broadly defined, is the delivery of appropriate financial services at affordable costs to the disadvantaged and low-income segments of society.

It means that individuals and businesses have access to useful and affordable financial products and services that meet their needs. These needs comprise mainly; transactions, payments, savings, credit and insurance. In an inclusive financial system, financial services are delivered in a responsible and sustainable way.
