Evolving Customer Support to Spur Inclusive DFS Adoption

In Ethiopia’s growing digital finance landscape, inclusive and responsive customer service isn’t just a feature—it’s essential for bridging the access gap, particularly for women in underserved communities.

Without thoughtful design and transparency, support systems could unintentionally reinforce barriers that prevent millions from fully engaging with digital financial services.

AKOFADA’s latest exploration shines a light on this overlooked but crucial aspect of Ethiopia's DFS ecosystem.
