This week’s faiV was a faiVLive — a webinar featuring a panel of experts discussing the future of digital financial services and inclusion.
Thanks to everyone who joined our faiVLive webinar about the future of Digital Financial Services on June 26th. If you weren’t able to join us live, you can watch a recording of the webinar through this link.
About the webinar:
The pandemic has raised the profile of digital financial services, which have enabled amazingly rapid distribution of social support funds and may provide a path forward for delivering financial services safely and at scale. But there are important questions left to consider about the roll-out and ultimate impact of DFS. This edition of faiVLive brings together expert practitioners and researchers to address these questions, ranging from the impact of DFS on MFIs to digital security.

Editor's Note:
If you were hoping that the faiV would be a pleasant distraction from the overwhelming flow of AI-related content, sorry. For the record, the faiV had “ai” built in before Anthropic existed. And a housekeeping note: we’ve finally jumped ship from Mailchimp to NYU’s mailing platform—I guess if you’re reading this it’s been a seamless transition and if you’re not, well, you’re not. Feedback on the faiV’s content and format and delivery methods is always welcome, just drop me an email.
