SUMMARY:Delivering the UK’s Financial Inclusion Strategy
DESCRIPTION:HM Treasury’s National Financial Inclusion Strategy has recently been published. It includes a vision for improving access to savings\, credit\, and insurance\, all with the aim of building greater financial security and resilience across the population; something TPA Inclusion Working Group have been calling for. But setting the Strategy is just the first step. The critical question now is: how do we deliver it?  \n  \nThis forward-looking webinar will explore:  \n  \n\nThe key payments innovations that could drive progress and help deliver the outcomes of the NFIS – from cards and account-to-account (A2A) payments to new digital tools and savings mechanisms. \n\n\nThe role of regulation\, policy\, and industry\, in achieving practical outcomes and measurable change. \n\n\nWhat kind of environment (policy\, technology\, and industry collaboration) is needed to scale solutions effectively? \n\n\nA critical discussion of whether the government’s strategy sets the right parameters for real impact: is it ambitious enough\, does it set a strong foundation to build from? \n\n  \n14:00 Welcome remarks  \n14:10 Panel Discussion with Live Q&A \n14:55 Closing remarks \n15:00 Finish \n  \nSpeakers:\n
