IFC GLOBAL FINTECH FOR WOMEN SURVEY
Participate now in the IFC Global Fintech for Women Survey!
The International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, and Dalberg would like to invite you to participate in the IFC Global Fintech for Women Survey. This short survey will build a global baseline of the extent to which women customers and women-owned businesses benefit from digital finance and examine the drivers or barriers firms face in serving them effectively.
We would be grateful if you or any colleagues in your product, design, or strategy teams would be willing to take this brief survey, which should take about 20 minutes of your time. To thank you for your participation, we will provide you with a personalized benchmarking report describing your performance on select gender-related indicators and case studies of successful business models. The findings from this survey will be publicly published by the IFC (with all data anonymized), enabling you to learn from other fintech’s strategies for serving women customers. The IFC will also invite select firms to participate in events to discuss report findings and their experience.
Please note that the survey requires high-level customer and portfolio data (such as the number of retail and business customers, gross revenues, and product-level metrics like annual transactions). Having this data at hand will help you complete the survey more quickly.
Survey closes on November 15, 2022?
