Partners: Financial Express Aspire

Financial inclusion is crucial for driving job growth, reducing vulnerability to economic downturns, and boosting investments in human resources, particularly for marginalised individuals, households, and enterprises. With persisting financial gaps, it is important to bridge this gap, especially for underserved communities to unlock access to the right financial products.

Our Executive Director, Sharon Buteau, joined industry experts and leaders in an insightful panel discussion on “Financial Inclusion for Unbanked & Underbanked: Easing Accessibility to the Right Financial Products” at the Financial Express Inclusive Finance Conclave 2025 and  explored practical and scalable solutions to drive meaningful change, focusing on how to improve financial accessibility for those who need it most.
