The Interplay Among Financial Inclusion, Corruption, and Phishing

Abstract

The intersection of financial inclusion, corruption, and phishing poses issues in our digital age. This chapter explores their complex relationship, with a focus on technology and sustainability. Financial inclusion, which is essential for fair access, suffers from playing the dual roles of corrupting agent and enabler, undermining goals and destroying confidence. Fintech solutions, which leverage technology as a disruptor and enabler, improve accessibility while also posing cybersecurity and phishing dangers. In order to create resilient financial ecosystems, the chapter emphasizes the need for holistic approaches that strike a balance between the requirement for inclusivity and protections against corruption and cyberthreats. Scholars, policymakers, and practitioners must collaborate and consider a range of viewpoints in order to effectively handle difficulties and capitalize on possibilities in our globalized society.
