Paysend white paper - Digital money transfers and the empowerment of women
All over the world, gender inequality makes it difficult for women to enjoy the same level of financial independence and inclusion as their male counterparts.
This is most evident in low-income countries, where financial infrastructure, socio-economic situations and prejudiced behavioural attitudes prevent women from taking control of their own financial destiny. Digital money services - particularly digital money transfers - are a way to change this.
Our white paper, entitled Digital money for inclusion. How FinTech is supporting the empowerment of women, explores the importance of digitisation of money transfers in creating a more inclusive financial world for women. By extensively using data from the World Bank and a number of other sources, the white paper aims to connect the dots between financial exclusion, digital money and gender equality.
