Abstract
This paper contrasts the psychological and cultural richness of informal savings mechanisms with the simpler, more rigid and yet less intuitive format of digital savings products. Financial inclusion should not imply a rejection of informal financial practices but a synthesis of the informal and the digital.
Keywords: financial inclusion, microfinance, savings, financial planning, mobile money
