Our expert host, Benjamin Ensor, is joined by some great guests to discuss fintech's role in the refugee crisis.
According to 2021 figures from the United Nations, there are more than 89 million people worldwide who have been forcibly displaced from countries like Syria, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Somalia and Eritrea.
We’ve put together a panel of experts to discuss how fintech can help refugees in the immediate aftermath, what challenges stop financial institutions from getting more involved, and how financial services can adapt as the needs of refugees change over time.
This week's guests include:
