AFI – Alliance for Financial Inclusion

Member description

AFI is a policy leadership alliance owned and led by member central banks and financial regulatory institutions with the common objective of advancing financial inclusion at the country, regional and international levels.

AFI partners with regulators, international organizations and private sector leaders to drive practical solutions and facilitate the implementation of impactful policy changes through its cooperative model that embeds peer learning, knowledge exchange and peer transformation.

AFI was founded on the idea that a global knowledge exchange platform was key to expanding and improving financial inclusion policies. Over the years, the AFI network – with support from donors and partners – has invested deeply in this platform and is delivering tangible results.

In the fifteen years since AFI began its quest to address the global challenge of financial exclusion, we have witnessed tremendous achievements from its membership of central banks and financial regulators from 84 emerging and developing countries to advance the financial inclusion agenda.
