Center for Financial Inclusion at Accion and Host Partner GFTN to Bring Responsible Finance Forum to Singapore (November 13-15)

The Center for Financial Inclusion (CFI) will convene global policymakers, regulators, financial service providers, investors, researchers, and consumer advocates in Singapore on November 13–15, 2026, for the Responsible Finance Forum (RFF) 2026, hosted in partnership with the Singapore-based Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN). 

Convened since 2022 by CFI, the RFF tackles pressing issues at the intersection of responsible inclusive finance and consumer protection in a rapidly evolving digital world. This year, the RFF will examine how rapidly emerging technologies when designed, deployed, and governed responsibly can help advance financial health, as artificial intelligence (AI) and digital innovation continue to reshape financial services. The discussions will explore how all actors can better work together to ensure innovation delivers better outcomes for clients, and especially low-income consumers. Research has shown that escalating fraud and scams, rising levels of over-indebtedness, and opaque uses of AI are negatively impacting people’s trust in financial services, affecting their financial health and resilience.
