Building Women’s Financial Resilience Through a Digital Savings-Led Banking Model

To help make savings more accessible for low-income households in India, Developing World Markets (DWM) partnered with Suryoday Small Finance Bank and Saathi Money to launch the Digital Savings and Resilience Program. Our aim is to show how technology can transform the way small finance banks in India – which were originally set up with the mandate of financial inclusion - can support resilience within low-income households. The program uses digital innovation, behavioral science and group-based savings models to reach underserved communities at scale.
