The Digital transformation has permeated all spheres of the economy and the financial sector has been no exception; the constant changes in the habits of financial consumers require that the processes in this field be digitally efficient and in the shortest possible time.

In the end, the challenges are identified to achieve compliance with the sustainable development goals related to financial inclusion.
The methodology is based on a documentary exploration from secondary sources and analysis of surveys and reports presented by multilateral organizations related to financial inclusion, Fintech and financial institutions.
