Servicing the Unbanked
On September 15th, 2020, On August 26th, 2020, Plug and Play hosted a virtual event that focused on financial inclusion. We started with an insightful Fireside Chat, with Carol Grunberg, VP, Money Movement and Innovation of Northwestern Mutual; Ian Cox Moya, Head of Synchrony Ventures; and Luis Hernández-Magro, Director of Innovation of Banorte.
"Financial inclusion promotes social inclusion. Or on the other side, financial exclusion can reinforce inequality and social exclusion.” - Luis Hernandez-Magro
“[A few years ago] the term of art was financial literacy. We’ve now evolved to talk about financial health and even financial wellness. Wellness is not just about numbers on a spreadsheet. It’s about utilizing your assets in the best way possible to achieve goals and to pull the future towards you.” - Ian Cox Moya
