All Aboard. The role of the Fintech industry in solving the problems of financial exclusion

Does Fintech give those at risk of financial exclusion the services they want? If it does, do they know about it, and if they don’t, why not? Equally, with the services that are available, can customers access and operate them in a way that addresses their needs?

That’s what this report is about. Project Inclusion, at the The Payments Association, wanted to ask how well financial services work for the youngest and oldest age groups, where risk of exclusion might reasonably be expected to be at its greatest. What has resulted is a wide-ranging and rich piece of work, that surveys expert views from across the sector and from customers themselves, and which goes decisively beyond its initial hypothesis to where those that participated wanted to take it.

This report will shed light on service design and usability, lesser known but important use cases, customer motivation, and convey the essence of what financial inclusion services should be about– accessibility, choice, value for money, and no compromise on service quality. We also offer pointers for further research and action, and the beginnings of a roadmap towards inclusion by design. We hope this report adds value to your activities around financial inclusion, and we welcome your contribution to the debate.

I didn't receive an e-mail

Tip: Check your spam

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association

Tip: Check “other” tabs

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.

Tip: Click the link within 60 minutes

For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.

Tip: Only click once

The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.

Tip: Delete old login e-mails

Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.

Tip: Check your security policies

Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.

Need to change your e-mail address?

For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
