Spotlight on: Learning Hub
Last week’s Ask the Expert session CX & UX that Drive Women’s Access to Finance revealed the remarkably consistent approaches banks across the world are taking to serve women entrepreneurs well, as shared by TD Bank Canada. It also highlighted the unmatched capability of GoTyme Bank South Africa to meet low income and often formerly unbanked women where they are. Both organizations understand their women customers well, have integrated gender intelligent design across their customer journeys, and are focused on building women’s trust and confidence to drive usage.
This session and more are now available on-demand in our new Learning Hub, a powerful new addition to our member experience and a cornerstone of our commitment to continuous learning and impact.
