Reduce financial exclusion, improve social impact, meet regulatory compliance and tap into market opportunities with Inclusive Finance. Financial institutions are under growing pressure from their customers, regulators and employees to play more active roles in supporting ESG transformation. Inclusive Finance reviews what is currently socially broken in the existing financial system and identifies opportunities for how incumbent players, fintech start-ups, scale ups and techfins can improve their social impact and meet compliance requirements while delivering financial profit. Inclusive Finance explores how innovations such as blockchain, distributed ledger technology, AI, cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, NFTs and DeFi can all play a role in democratizing finance. Written by a recognized thought leader and serial entrepreneur with a track record of delivering growth through digital innovation at some of the world's most respected financial companies including PayPal and Lloyds, this is an indispensable guide for finance professionals and organizations who need to drive ESG deliverables with purpose and profit.
