The study focuses on the relationship between account ownership, digital payments,gender inclusion, and broader development outcomes linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).Drawing on secondary data from the World Bank Global Findex, the IMF Financial Access Survey, IMF analyticalwork on fintech, and UNCTAD reports on inclusive digitalization, the article analyzes recent global trendsand identifies key policy implications. The results show that account ownership and digital payments haveexpanded substantially over the past decade, particularly in developing economies.
