FAIR Center for Financial Access, Inclusion and Research

FAIR Center for Financial Access, Inclusion and Reserch de la Escuela de Negocios

 

Our Center

At FAIR - Center for Financial Access, Inclusion, and Research, we aim to bring families and small businesses in Latin America to a state of financial health in which there is a balance between income and expenses, enabling long-term sustainability and resilience to withstand external shocks.

We believe that technology and entrepreneurship are the raw materials that contribute to strengthening the resilience of families and small businesses in Latin America through innovative and user-centered products, from applied research and its findings and proposals to the development of ventures and projects that address the existing gap between the system offerings and populations in a state of low resilience. 

Therefore, our thematic approach to achieving financial health includes: 

  • Financial resilience and development of capabilities of Latin American families and enterprises. 
  • Financial inclusion as an enabler of resilience and capability development.
  • Technology, entrepreneurship, and financial services tailored to the needs of users as enablers of financial inclusion.

Financial fairplay

Financial inclusion refers to the accessibility of beneficial and affordable financial products and services for individuals and businesses, meeting their requirements (such as transactions, payments, savings, credit, and insurance) in a responsible and sustainable way.

At FAIR Center, we recognize that financial services are means and not ends. Therefore, we prioritize a people-centered approach and view financial services as enablers that empower users to enhance their quality of life.

To achieve this, at FAIR Center, we focus on promoting financial fair play by addressing financial inclusion through two main pillars:

  • Responsible and user-centered financial channels and services
  • Financial behavior

 

Financial inclusion within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals

Financial inclusion is crucial for poverty reduction and a significant enabler for 8 out of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations:

Objetivos del Desarrollo Sostenible de la ONU sobre Inclusión Financiera
