Ep 2: Blockchain & Crypto – A Dynamic Duo for Faster Financial Inclusion?

The Making Finance Work for Women Podcast

Blockchain and crypto have barely cemented themselves into our global society and there are already hundreds of use cases, testing it as a viable mechanism to lay a fast foundation for financial inclusion, especially for those traditionally limited by patriarchal financial systems.

So, can this new tech beeline to the woman customer and help overwrite her typical barriers?

Join Sonja Kelly, Global Vice President of Women’s World Banking proprietary research division, as she speaks with best-selling author and blockchain guru, Conor Svensson, about if blockchain can enable women’s financial autonomy, as well as the promise of cryptocurrency and if it is truly a smart business investment.
