The landscape of financial inclusion is changing. Microfinance institutions now face competition from fintechs, mobile network operators and other players outside of the traditional financial sector who can offer faster, more convenient and more affordable access to financial services. In order to remain relevant and continue to meet their clients’ needs, MFIs must adapt by undergoing digital transformation. There are a number of different approaches to this process of digitization. They can range from digitizing existing products and services, to partnering with fintechs, to a complete transformation of processes and the introduction of new digital financial services.
