Digitizing payment of public sector wages and social protection benefits has prompted millions of previously unbanked women to open accounts in recent years, a trend that accelerated during the COVID-19 crisis with the digital payment of emergency relief and private sector wages. As governments and companies take steps to recover from the economic impacts of the pandemic, prioritizing women’s digital financial inclusion will ensure stronger, more resilient economies that recognize and advance the strengths of women. We discuss the programs implemented in Bangladesh and Colombia as great examples of good practices and learnings on responsible digital payments to strengthen data protections and build inclusive digital ecosystems to reach the still substantial numbers of unbanked and underserved households in low- and middle-income countries.
