💭 "Women are more loyal, less risky, and more valuable customers than men" Okay... it's 'more or equally valuable' customers than men. But I like to think of myself as the MVP in every market. 💃💃 IFC - International Finance Corporation and Dalberg collaborated on a report for Inclusive Growth, and it suggests that traditional financial services often overlook women customers in emerging markets, leaving a massive opportunity for FinTech firms to step in and make a difference. 🌟 "59% of FinTech firms collect sex disaggregated data, but few use it; less than a third tailor their products and services toward women." By offering tailored solutions like flexible payment options and financial education, fintech companies can not only tap into an underserved market but also contribute to women's empowerment and financial inclusion. I've included the link to the article and report in the comments below because it's definitely worth a read!
