Powered by Center for Financial Inclusion, the Inclusive Fintech 50 (IF50) is a global innovation competition designed to single out unique fintechs with the potential to drive financial inclusion.
The competition, which is themed “Making Digitization Count”, will stimulate the global recognition of fintech startups addressing limitations in financial services delivery for unserved and underserved customers.
Benefits
The Inclusive Fintech 50 asserts that winners who emerged from previous editions have collectively increased their funding by $620 million in the year following their win.
Winners also receive access to zero-cost tools such as Visa’s Practical Business Skills and Practical Money Skills.
The goal is to make early-stage fintechs more visible to investors and others who can help them grow and have a noticeable impact on the billions of financially underserved people.
The programme also supports the broader inclusive fintech ecosystem through actionable market-level insights generated from aggregated and anonymized applicant data.
