I have been investing in, and writing about fintech and financial inclusion startups for as long as the conference has been around (2012). Indeed, every day of the conference covered various financial inclusion topics, and headlined by leading players. I attended three panels concerning “Remaining Barriers to Financial Inclusion”, “Banking the Underbanked through Payroll APIs” and “The Imperative for Fintech to Drive Financial Inclusion.”Financial inclusion’s rise is perhaps no surprise. Financial inclusion leaders dominate fintech in emerging markets. The classic financial inclusion example is of course M-Pesa, which is a mobile money program launched by Safaricom the leading telecom carrier in Kenya.
