On this week’s episode of News & Views, The Fintech Times Podcast team speak about new Project Nemo data revealing that 61 per cent of adults with learning disabilities say banks don’t meet their needs, Mastercard‘s research into Gen Alpha’s digital financial experience and Bitget‘s collaboration with UNICEF Luxembourg to advance digital skills and blockchain literacy among young people.
With all three members of the team present, the conversation kicks off this week with Tom exploring the trends observed by Mastercard in relation to Generation Alpha’s financial habits. With so many children in the Asia Pacific region favouring digital payment methods, the trio discuss whether we will see a cash revival.
The focus then turns to Project Nemo as Polly reveals that many financial organisations are still failing to properly cater for those with disabilities. The Podcast team delves into what family members and financial institutions can do to help those who need it without being controlling or over the top.
Finally, the topic turns to blockchain literacy as Francis explores Bitget’s latest collaboration to give young women the opportunity to learn about blockchain. All three members of the team agree that there are no downsides to the initiative and hope that other organisations will follow suit.
