Empowering Micro-Retailers Through Digitization: Hype or Promise?

Saison 2 · Épisode 2

vendredi 22 novembre 2024 • Durée 19:38

From a duka in Kenya, a tienda de barrio in Colombia or a kirana in India, micro-retailers that stock fast-moving consumer goods go by many different names around the world. No matter what they’re called, they’re universally cherished. And yet, they face numerous unique challenges.

B2B e-commerce startups like Wasoko in Kenya and &frnds in Southeast Asia are promising to make a difference for micro-retailers by digitizing order processes and extending buy-now-pay-later credit options. Yet challenges remain: How do we bridge the digital divide? And can these systems sustainably scale?

In this episode, a Behavioral Science thought leader joins experts from Flourish Ventures and CGAP to explore the promise—and the hype—behind this digitization wave, unpacking its potential to create meaningful financial inclusion for micro retailers at the last mile.

Featured Voices:

Richard Wright, former Behavioral Science Director at Unilever and currently an independent consultant

Stella Klemperer, Director of Strategy and Insights, Flourish Ventures

Voices from the Frontlines of Climate Change

Saison 2 · Épisode 1

vendredi 22 novembre 2024 • Durée 19:33

Everyone in the world is grappling with climate change, but for those on the front lines, it’s a daily struggle for survival. In this episode, we travel to Bangladesh to speak with Nurul and Sita, two farmers who are fighting to protect their homes and livelihoods from relentless storms, flooding, and rising sea levels. Nurul and Sita are both dealing with climate change, but only one has the help of microfinance--and that’s made quite a difference.

How do people living in poverty prepare for, cope with, and adapt to climate shocks, and what role do financial services—like loans, savings and insurance—play in supporting them? Join us as we share findings from research by CGAP, MicroSave and Decodis to explore these questions and uncover the potential of inclusive finance in bringing hope, resilience, and lasting change to the communities hardest hit by our warming world.

Featured Voices:

Nurul, a farmer from Bangladesh

Sita, a farmer from Bangladesh

Graham Wright, Founder and Group Managing Director, MicroSave

Claudia McKay, Green and Resilient Outcomes Lead, CGAP

Digital Finance’s Little Secret... (Agent Networks)

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

mardi 10 janvier 2023 • Durée 35:55

The wide reach of digital financial services, such as digital savings, credit, payments, insurance or investment products, can unlock life-changing opportunities for low-income consumers by helping them save, borrow, and receive remittances. But here’s a little secret about the seemingly endless array of these digital services: their current ability to attract and serve new users largely depends on the expansion of old-fashioned physical interaction through agent networks.

These networks enable users to deposit or withdraw cash from digital accounts, which is crucial in cash economies where digital finance has limited use cases. Expanding these networks beyond large cities is notoriously difficult, but significant progress has been made in recent years — and in surprising ways.

In this episode, we explore the latest advances in agent networks and what they mean for the future of inclusive finance.

Featured Voices:

· Emilio Hernandez, Senior Financial Sector Specialist, CGAP

· Sasidhar Thumuluri, Managing Director and CEO, Sub-K

· Archana Pandey, General Manager, Financial Inclusion at Bank of Baroda

· Sandhya Rani, Sub-K rural agent

Will Central Bank Digital Currencies be a game-changer for financial inclusion?

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

mardi 10 janvier 2023 • Durée 39:45

Central banks have been eying the emergence of privately issued digital currencies with a mix of excitement and anxiety and some began experimenting with their own versions of crypto: central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). Advocates say CBDCs offer an alternative to private digital currencies that will enable central banks to retain their control over national monetary supplies, better combat money laundering and fraud, and even advance financial inclusion.

But are CBDCs really the game-changer for financial inclusion that many claim? What are the key enablers and constraints to CBDCs advancing financial inclusion? And how are central banks thinking about designing CBDCs to ensure that they achieve their goals?

Featured Voices:

· Kwame Oppong, Head of Fintech and Innovation, Bank of Ghana

What Can Super Typhoon Rai Teach Us About Financial Inclusion?

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

lundi 28 novembre 2022 • Durée 29:40

Typhoon Rai made landfall in the Philippines in December 2021, killing over 400 people, devastating 1.5 million homes, and causing over US$1 billion in damage. Extreme weather events like Rai are becoming more common as a result of climate change. Financial services can make households more resilient and adaptive, but too often the people who are most vulnerable to these shocks—such as women, poor people, forcibly displaced people, and people in rural areas—are also financially excluded.

In this episode, we travel to the Philippines to speak with a Typhoon Rai survivor and the insurance provider that helped her rebuild her home, as we explore the changing role of insurance and other financial services in climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Featured Voices:

Astrid Zwick, Head of InsuResilience Secretariat
Emilie Fernandes, former Philippines Country Director, Relief International
Lorenzo Chan, President and CEO of Pioneer Inc.
Annaliza Hermano, a Pioneer Insurance customer

What’s in store for embedded finance? 

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

lundi 28 novembre 2022 • Durée 36:55

The spread of digital technology and infrastructure has given rise to fintech, but it’s also driven the popularity of non-financial services like social media apps, gig platforms, and e-commerce sites. The term “embedded finance” refers to the integration of financial tools into this growing array of services. Just as mobile money brought payments closer to low-income customers via their phones, embedded finance has the potential to bring a whole range of financial services even closer. The opportunities this presents to advance financial inclusion are almost endless and may define financial inclusion for years to come.

But what forms will embedded finance take? What are the biggest opportunities and risks? And what players are driving it in different regions? In this episode, we take a look at what lies ahead for embedded finance.

Featured Voices:

Ana Maria Zuluaga Tafur, Head of Innovation Group, Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia
Laura Crow, Head of the financial services team, M-Pesa Africa
Pui San Chay, Director of Public Affairs and Policy, Grab

The Social Frontier of Financial Inclusion 

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

lundi 28 novembre 2022 • Durée 32:57

What are the frontiers of financial inclusion? Of course, there is a geographical frontier: people in rural areas are more often excluded from the financial system. There’s also a technological frontier: while digital technology has greatly expanded the reach of financial services, those on the other side of the digital divide are being left behind. But there’s also a social frontier, often in the form of social norms that dictate who can – and can’t – access and use financial services.

In this episode, we hear from Women’s Micro Bank (also known as Mama Bank), a bank in Papua New Guinea that pushed geographical and technological boundaries in its attempts to expand rural women’s access to banking services but ran into its biggest challenges at the social frontier.

Featured voices:

Jill Pijui, Head Trainer, Center for Excellence in Financial Inclusion (CEFI) in Papua New Guinea
Gunanidhi Das, CEO, Women’s Micro Bank (Mama Bank)
Gina Gelena, Mama Bank agent
Elle Pele, Mama Bank customer

Banking on Open Finance to Advance Financial Inclusion: Lessons from Brazil

Saison 2 · Épisode 3

mardi 3 décembre 2024 • Durée 17:33

In Brazil, the banking world is changing fast. Open Finance allows people in Brazil to securely share their financial data across financial service providers, sparking competition and innovation among providers. This empowers customers to compare and choose services that best meet their needs. But how does open finance work in practice and what does it mean for the millions of people still excluded or underserved by formal finance?

In this episode, we talk to experts at the Central Bank of Brazil, Nubank, and CGAP about Brazil’s experience in rolling out open finance and how data can help unlock credit for informal workers, improve product offerings, and reach wider segments of society. Along the way, we tackle critical questions: Can open finance help reduce inequality? And what lessons can other countries learn from Brazil’s rapid adoption?

Featured Voices:

Matheus Rauber, Senior Advisor, Financial System Regulation Department, Central Bank of Brazil

Rafael Wowk, Head of Regulatory Affairs, NuBank

Can AI Revolutionize Financial Consumer Protection?

Saison 2 · Épisode 4

mardi 10 décembre 2024 • Durée 20:56

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already transforming almost every aspect of the financial services industry. It is driving efficiencies and sparking innovation by reshaping the way financial authorities protect consumers—not just how financial service providers operate. But financial authorities need to walk a tightrope. While they need to harness the power of AI to improve consumer protection, they must also address the novel risks and challenges that AI brings, such as new forms of financial fraud, cyber threats, and data privacy concerns.

This episode explores how the Central Bank of the Philippines is embracing AI-powered "SupTech” (supervisory technology) for its chatbot named BOB to enhance financial consumer protection. We'll hear from experts at the Central Bank of the Philippines, the Cambridge SupTech Lab, and CGAP about the potential benefits and risks of this revolutionary technology.
