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.

Nigeria’s diaspora is one of the largest and most vibrant in the world. From London to Lagos, New York to Abuja, Nigerians abroad play a critical role in fueling growth back home—through business, education, and, importantly, remittances. In 2024, remittances to Nigeria were about four times the value of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into the country.
Remittances remain a vital lifeline for families and local economies, providing everyday essentials and enabling opportunity. And today, digital payments are transforming how this support is sent: fast, safe, and affordable.
Every October, the Philippines celebrates National Indigenous Peoples’ Month, a time to honor the country’s original storytellers, builders and guardians of the land.
Across islands and generations, more than 100 Indigenous communities continue to keep centuries-old traditions alive, from weaving and farming to music, rituals and storytelling. In the mountains of the Cordilleras and the forests of Mindanao, you’ll find practices that have endured for generations. The Ifugao still tend to their ancient rice terraces, the T’boli weave T’nalak from dreams, and the Manobo pass on songs that tell the stories of their ancestors.
But in a world moving faster than ever, these communities face a challenge: how to protect what’s sacred while embracing what’s new.
