While other countries have developed extensive agent networks, and complex partnerships to support DFS ecosystems - Lao PDR remains a greenfield and untouched environment for digital financial services. No agents, no services and no customers using DFS in the country of 6.5 million people. This video is part of broader case-study intended to showcase the journey to develop branchless banking in an environment with no previous regulatory framework or tested business models. The video presentation of “The Dawn of Digital Finance in Lao PDR: The Journey to Develop Branchless Banking” gives a rare look at the ways in which increased access to financial services can change lives in one of the last greenfield environments for DFS in Asia.
