DFS for Communal Financial Health

Across many communities, financial decisions are rarely made alone. Households, occupational groups, merchants, and neighbourhood savings and credit groups rely on shared financial practices to build resilience, foster growth, and secure their collective future. Yet, most DFS solutions are designed for individuals, overlooking the communal nature of financial management.

These financial structures already exist in offline settings, where people trust familiar networks and established practices. Without digital alternatives that cater to group dynamics, many people see little reason to transition to digital, missing out on the potential benefits and opportunities.

DFS must go beyond access to shared accounts and actively support the financial health of groups and households. This means designing tools that expand the possibilities beyond transactions, enabling savings, credit, and growth.

Family Agent Teams

Shared agent licenses between spouses enable more approachable and inclusive agent interactions. Spouse-led agent teams can create welcoming spaces, particularly for women, fostering greater comfort and trust in agent centers

Community Accounts

Shared accounts for merchants, self-help groups (SHGs), and collectives, managed by a designated custodian, provide secure and flexible financial management. Multiple wallets linked to the same account enable individual transactions within a shared, secure structure.

Individual to Collective

Digitizing groups with an understanding that money is inherently social fosters both individual empowerment and collective growth. It strengthens collective accountability and trust while enabling individuals to build independent financial credibility and access.
