In this episode of the Finthropology Podcast we talk with Andrew Slack, Strategic Designer at SICPA, about why governments are turning towards Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), the kinds of design issues that arise depending on the Central Bank’s goals, and how qualitative research can help us understand the people who might use them.

We are pleased to announce the publication of our new report, ‘Female Finance On the Move—Switzerland’. This is the third edition in our Female Finance series. In this report we look into the bags, wallets and phones of Swiss women to find out how they manage their money.

Finthropology are proud to have contributed research and analysis to Findexable’s new report for the Fintech Diversity Radar, “Diversity for Growth”. The report explores why gender diversity remains an issue in finance and fintech, why it matters, and what can be done to create a more gender diverse finance and fintech sector.

Why does the financial gender gap persist today? In this podcast we compare notes on our research projects: David Wallace and Natalie Raja (NMD+) have carried out research with women in the UK, and Anette Broløs and Erin Taylor (Finthropology) have been interviewing women in Switzerland.

In Australia there is a small but growing number of digital financial services aimed at women. Why might women need or want these services?

Finthropology is proud to announce that we are partnering with findexable on their Fintech Diversity Radar project. Launching in 2021, the Fintech Diversity Radar will be the world’s first global platform gathering progressive data on women in fintech.
