It has been proven that when women have access to finances and the capacity to save and plan their finances, not just these women benefit from it, but their families and the community at large is the better for it.

According to the World Bank Global Findex Database, while 74% of men around the world have accounts, only 68% of women do.According to the 2021 Global Findex Report by World Bank says that, the percentage of women in Nigeria with financial accounts in any formal institution has increased from 24% to 35% over the last few years.

This is the highest in 10 years. The result of women not having access to bank accounts means, they have no financial footprint, they cannot access credit, they cannot make real financial decisions about their health, career, children and life in general. 35% is still very low however the key driver for growth has been technology.
