This presents compelling investment opportunities and cross-selling of products within fast-growing economies.
“We are excited to make digital financial products available to a broader range of populations. Increased financial access accelerates GDP up to an impressive 14% in EMs. By helping drive economic development, we improve the lives of women and by proxy, their families.”
