An inclusive digital payments

#financialpayments #digitalcurrency #finance #research
The digitalization of the payments market has accelerated over the past 10 years. People today have access to fast, smooth, and around-the-clock payment services. At the same time, certain groups in society cannot reap the benefits of digitalization. Fostering an inclusive payments market, whilst embracing innovation, is, therefore, an important policy objective.
Anna Kinberg Batra outlines the key challenges with digital payments. She is followed by Annamaria Lusardi, Professor of Economics and Accountancy at the George Washington University School of Business (GWSB), and the founder and academic director of GWSB’s Global Financial Literacy Excellence Center, who present the academic research in this field.
In the panel discussion, Kicki Westerståhl CEO at Konsumenternas Bank- och Finansbyrå, and Martin Forsling, CEO of Bontouch, comment and join in the debate with the audience on these challenging issues.
