How Jan is building a better working world

“I am excited about how our growth-oriented work in both emerging markets and developed markets drives financial inclusion. Financial inclusion has the potential to generate sizeable economic benefits and boost bank revenues by better serving financially excluded individuals and small and medium enterprises. Providing access to innovative financial products is making a major difference to people’s lives.”
