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 programme also supports the broader inclusive fintech ecosystem through actionable market-level insights generated from aggregated and anonymized applicant data.
