Financial inclusion has emerged as a central pillar of sustainable economic development, poverty alleviation, and social equity across both developed and developing economies. It refers to the process of ensuring access to affordable, timely, and appropriate financial products and services for all individuals and enterprises, particularly vulnerable, marginalized, and low-income populations. In recent years, technological advancement has fundamentally transformed the architecture of financial inclusion by overcoming structural barriers such as geographical distance, high transaction costs, inadequate banking infrastructure, documentation constraints, and financial illiteracy.
