Reserve Bank of Aletheia Sovereign Covenant State of Aletheia Menu

§ 03.3 Financial inclusion

Financial inclusion.

§ 03.3.1 Why

A system for everyone

Everyone in Aletheia should be able to save, pay and be paid, safely and simply.

A new nation has the chance to build an inclusive financial system from the start, rather than repair one later.

§ 03.3.2 Principles

Four principles

Access
Basic payment services within reach of every resident, wherever they live.
Affordability
Everyday payments at low cost, with fees published plainly.
Protection
Clear information, fair treatment and a way to complain.
Understanding
Financial education for every age, through the Bank’s Money and you guides.

§ 03.3.3 Evidence

Measuring progress

Progress will be measured, not assumed. The Bank intends to survey how residents save, pay and borrow, and to publish the results, so that policy can follow the evidence.
