Financial Inclusion and SME Finance is a chapter of Fintech Nexus: a specialist sub-community with its own group, editor and research agenda. Its work starts from the cornerstone topic, financial inclusion. Financial inclusion means individuals and small firms can use useful, affordable and safe financial services: transaction accounts, savings, credit, insurance and payments. A chapter becomes a platform of its own only by meeting the graduation rule.

The Financial Inclusion and SME Finance chapter of Fintech Nexus keeps the platform boundary: it never covers product endorsements or vendor rankings or security assessments of any firm, and its evidence carries the same labels as every Fintech Nexus page.
