Quick Fact: In 2023, 45% of Nigerians used digital financial services (DFS) to meet their financial needs, up from 34% in 2020.
Why it is important: As Digital Financial Services (DFS) users increase, new risks emerge for inexperienced consumers. These issues reduce the trust quotient in the market and pose a significant threat to financial inclusion, which is built on trust.
On this episode, we discuss with Oluwatomi Eromosele (PHD), a development economist expert who currently serves as EFInA’s general manager and Research lead, to discuss the increasing threat of risk exposure to consumers due to the growing adoption of digital financial services.
