About Digitalisation and Inclusive Banking Conference 2023
The new G20 Financial Inclusion Action Plan 2023 focuses on overarching priorities of digitalisation and inclusive practices for expanding the financial services ecosystem to unbanked and underserved areas.
- Through improved utilisation of e-banking services like Internet banking, telephone banking, SMS banking, electronic fund transfers (NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, etc.), ATM and debit cards, etc., the banking system can assist in directly meeting the credit needs of agriculture and small and medium-sized businesses, empowering women, reducing poverty as well as assisting in achieving the goals of inclusive banking and financial inclusion.
- Therefore, the objective is to explore relevant societal challenges toward promoting digitalisation and inclusive banking, along with enhancing financial literacy and bridging the urban-rural
literacy divide. - This conference thus supports and aligns the ongoing policy discussions, as part of national and global action plans, on promoting financial inclusion under the Indian G20 Presidency.
