Welcome to the first edition of AccessFinance!

From Bob Keppler, Senior Advisor, FSE

The aim of AccessFinance is to share information, ideas and practical experiences on access to financial services and financial infrastructure to enrich our operations and research on these topics. Each newsletter will feature two articles, and highlight selected news items, papers, events and internet resources under four main categories: Access to Financial Services, Credit Information, Payment Systems and Remittances.

We would appreciate your suggestions for news and information to include in the next edition of AccessFinance. If you would like to write a feature article or have a story idea to contribute, please contact us as well, at TFIAKM@worldbank.org.

We hope you find this inaugural edition engaging and useful, and we look forward to your input in the future as we want this paper to benefit all Bank Staff working in these areas.

All the best,

Robert Keppler
Senior Advisor, FSE
