Course at a glanceA key driver of financial inclusion is access to finance. Digital platforms have been used as a channel to drive access. In the recent past, the emergence of innovative financial products like digital credit has allowed many people in emerging markets to access credit. The uptake of digital credit has risen significantly due to the ease of access and quick turnaround.
However, in mature markets, concerns such as lack of product differentiation and poor portfolio quality demands a re-think on how best to design and deliver digital credit.
