REGISTER HERE:  Digital Inclusion and Financial Inclusion

Being digitally included, having the ability to access a device, having adequate data and the digital skills to use them is crucial to being financially included.

Digital and financial inclusion go hand in hand, without digital access or skills people can not access the services, support and benefits they are entitled to.

To become financially independent and have the ability to take control of financial wellbeing people must have essential digital skills.
