About this Event

How financial inclusion drives economic growth, innovation and consumer wellbeing

Financial inclusion is often framed as a social responsibility. But what if it’s also one of the most powerful growth strategies available to the fintech sector?

Sponsored by Future Finance - a partnership of industry and academic financial services experts, committed to creating positive change in the financial services sector and supporting financial services SMEs to adopt new technologies and innovation to grow their businesses.

Join FinTech Wales and Future Finance for a thought-provoking panel exploring how inclusive financial systems unlock economic participation, drive innovation, and improve outcomes for consumers and businesses alike.

As financial services become increasingly digital, questions of access, usability, trust and data fairness are more important than ever. From credit and investments to digital identity and risk frameworks, this session will examine what true financial inclusion means today — and why it matters for sustainable growth.

What we’ll explore

What true financial inclusion means in 2026 — moving beyond basic bank accounts to credit, investments and digital services.
Digital exclusion as an economic barrier — how UX, data access and user trust affect financial participation.
Practical strategies from fintechs, regulators and ecosystem partners to lower barriers for underserved communities.
The interplay of data, identity and risk frameworks in enabling secure access without discrimination.

Why attend?

Whether you’re building fintech products, shaping policy, managing risk, or leading growth strategy, this session will offer practical insight into how inclusive finance is not just good ethics — it’s smart economics.

This event is ideal for founders, product teams, compliance and risk professionals, policymakers, and anyone committed to building a stronger, more inclusive Welsh fintech ecosystem.

Join us for an open, honest conversation about inclusion — and how it can power the next phase of fintech growth.
