FinTech in developing countries is generally presumed to be pro-poor, while in wealthier countries there is more skepticism that digital innovations will advance inclusion for the poorest in society. Why is that? What are appropriate expectations of FinTech innovation? Should we be more skeptical of FinTech in countries with large inclusion gaps? Should we be less skeptical of new business models and tech-enabled services in wealthy countries? Join Tim Ogden, Managing Director of the Financial Access Initiative, as we discuss the expectations and potential of FinTech to increase inclusion with an expert panel from around the world.
