Financial InclusionThrough innovation and education, we're working to ensure that no one is left behind.

Financial Inclusion

We believe that all people should have an opportunity to participate in the global economy. However, millions of people around the world lack access to the most basic financial tools. They don't have secure places to save money, reliable ways to transfer it, or safe ways to transport it. Our payment innovations, such as prepaid and mobile solutions, as well as our philanthropic and consumer education programs, bring the benefit of finance to the unbanked and underbanked, helping them build a stronger future for themselves, their families and their communities.
