Mary Ellen Iskenderian, President & CEO of Women’s World Banking, on women’s financial inclusion — The Do One Better Podcast
Mary Ellen Iskenderian, President and CEO of Women’s World Banking joins us to discuss the importance of women’s financial inclusion.
We look at the topic of women’s financial inclusion from various angles, including digital literacy, social norms and impact investing, and we also look at some of the research that tells us that this is not just a moral imperative but also an objective that makes commercial sense.
Women’s World Banking is a 44-year old global non-profit organisation and they currently work with 65 partners in 36 countries. Their partners include a range of organisations, such as mainstream banks, FinTechs, mobile money provides and non-bank financial institutions that recognise the commercial potential of serving low-income women in a responsible and sustainable way.
