It is Financial Inclusion month, and it’s a great time to bring awareness to what the payments industry does to help with the global challenge of financial inclusion and to discuss what more can be done.

In this Leaders In Payments Podcast, Elena Whisler, TCH’s Senior Vice President of Client Relationship Management & Sales, discusses some of the challenges that the under-banked and unbanked face, how important it is to bring these segments of the population into the financial system and how companies and other organizations are leveraging the RTP network. She focuses on the importance of Earned Wage Access (EWA) for both the employee and the employer and how EWA can be a vital program that can help the underserved community and is becoming more and more popular.
