What is Financial Inclusion Week?

FIW is a virtual global forum to exchange ideas, research, and perspectives on how to advance the future of inclusive finance.

Financial Inclusion Week (FIW) is more than just an event. With four packed days of live and on-demand content bringing together 350+ speakers each year, FIW has grown to become the leading event on inclusive finance.

FIW is a forum for exchanging ideas, research, and perspectives from around the world. The community-driven agenda covers the most pressing topics, helping to inform and advise global efforts to advance inclusive finance. Each year, the Center for Financial Inclusion (CFI) convenes FIW and invites partner organizations to showcase work, share ideas on what’s ahead, and engage with the community.

2025 THEME

Over the past decade, the financial inclusion movement has made significant strides in expanding access to financial services, especially through the use of technology. But with this progress has come new risks, and today’s rapidly evolving global landscape demands more than just access — it demands resilience

As we enter the second decade of Financial Inclusion Week, we face compounding global challenges: economic shocks, climate change, geopolitical instability, and digital vulnerabilities. These complexities require financial systems that not only include — but empower — the most vulnerable. 

Innovation is often seen as a disruptive force. What if, instead, we channel innovation to build resilience and well-being? Can we reimagine digital finance as a tool to bridge digital divides, reduce fraud, and promote inclusive growth for all — young, old, connected, or remote? 

Please join CFI, FIW participants from around the world, and our regional partner network for this exciting event, arguably the largest of its kind when it comes to the financial inclusion industry’s virtual convenings. Contribute with a session, join a panel, and participate as an active guest! What excites you about the industry and where do we need to go, when it comes to consumers in financial inclusion? Join, learn, and share.
