EP5 "Decentralised Finance & Financial I...

1.7 billion people globally are underbanked. In the MENA region more specifically, one in five adults do not have a bank account. The impact? In the words of one of our former guests, Andrew Gold, "If you don't have a bank account, you are now cut off from so many of those financial services that are really critical to establishing wealth, building wealth and raising your station in life." 

In this episode, we are tackling the issue of financial inclusion with Devid Jegerson, the Executive VP, and Head of Customer Experience and Platform Development at the National Bank of Fujairah. Devid dived into the factors that contribute to so many individuals being unbanked, how emerging technologies like blockchain and cryptocurrency can help, and what traditional financial institutions like banks can do to facilitate greater financial inclusion. 

Tune in to discover: 

• The influencing factors leading to the increasing adoption of cryptocurrency and decentralised finance 
• How banks can become a part of this evolution and offer more modern and inclusive services to everyone 
• Where the biggest opportunity for growth in the banking and payments sector lies
