Around the world there are millions of people without access to bank accounts and international markets.

Someone who doesn’t understand finance well or is struggling financially is unlikely to seek out complex and often expensive advice.

Improving financial literacy helps people at all levels of income gain a better understanding of how finance works, so that they can make informed decisions, access benefits, and utilise investment opportunities.

When individuals are supported with education, access to technology and an understanding of financial systems, their sound decisions have a positive impact on their households and in turn boost the communities they live in.

It’s the combined responsibility of academic institutions, businesses and governments to ensure that there is an even distribution of financial education and access to support.

Financial inclusion can be achieved through equal and fair access to financial education and opportunities for all.
