How Damla is building a better working world
"As access to banking services becomes easier through technological advances, banks operating in developing countries can possibly expand their list of target customer. I believe that adopting a financially inclusive strategy has positive impact not only for financial institutions but also for both the national and personal economics.
I highly encourage increasing financial participation on the consumer side; while supporting financial services providers with our teams and services to create difference for their customers in the new ecosystem, created by the digitalization."
