Globally, 1.4 billion adults do not have access to banking services. This means they live in a cash-only world where they cannot save for their future, take out loans to support their business and family, or buy insurance. We speak with Accion and StepChange, two non-profit organizations doing their part to educate people about financial services and create a more financially inclusive world for all.

Guests: Michael Schlein, President and CEO of Accion (https://www.accion.org/), Vanessa Northam, Head of Charity Development at StepChange (https://www.stepchange.org/)

Hosts: Andrina Schwartz, Head of the Financial Inclusion Initiative at Credit Suisse, Catherine McLean, Investment Writer at Credit Suisse
