💡 How can we invest in the future of digital inclusion for developing countries? At the Singapore FinTech Festival's Insight Forum 2024, Khai Siang Chong, Group CFO at Validus, discussed about how inclusion should go beyond just digital tools. Emphasising that small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) in #developingcountries have different needs, so we should consider a variety of ways and channels to support them. Khai Siang added, "Understanding customer needs and building a business model around that are critical steps in creating a commercially #sustainable business plan. At the same time, it's important to enhance the client experience, where digital delivery can play an important role."
