PRESS RELEASE — Financial Inclusion 2020 today announced the launch of the Roadmap to Financial Inclusion, a series of recommendations designed to expand access to quality financial services globally. The Roadmap focuses on five crucial areas: technology, meeting customer needs, credit reporting, financial capability and client protection. Through the Roadmap, FI2020 is convening diverse actors across the private and public sectors to unite around a common vision and series of action steps going forward.
A centerpiece of FI2020, the Roadmap builds on global, national and local initiatives that are already serving new and lower-income customers in innovative ways.
