Fintech has the power to build a more inclusive world. Fintech for the People is about the innovators who are developing fintech solutions that reach the people who’ve been left behind. In each episode, we’ll hear from innovators who are creating financial solutions that provide people with the financial tools they need to grow their business, support their family, and build their community. Together, we’ll learn how fintech looks different in spaces and places where basic financial services are a luxury — and how solutions to address these challenges require a different level of creativity, empathy, and execution. Fintech for the People is an Accion podcast hosted by Amee Parbhoo, Managing Partner of Accion Ventures — which deploys capital in early-stage inclusive fintech. Episodes will be released in seasons, on a weekly schedule.
