Financial inclusion is just the tip of the iceberg. Though a powerful force, it only focuses on access, usage, and quality of financial products and services. There is a need to expand the focus beyond financial inclusion to financial health to ensure that more contact with formal financial services has positive outcomes for the lives of all those included.
