Paymentology – The Issuer Academy | With Adam Battersby

The Issuer Academy: “Profit Meets Purpose: The New Era of Inclusive Finance”

Adam Battersby, Partner at Apis Partners, recently joined The Issuer Academy alongside Joy Macknight and Merusha Naidu for an in-depth discussion on the evolving landscape of inclusive finance.

Together, they explored:

• How financial inclusion is much more than just a bank account
• Why the democratisation of finance matters on a global scale
• The financial and societal benefits of embedding finance – a theme Apis first wrote about a decade ago.

At Apis, we’ve seen firsthand how digital-first business models can dramatically lower the cost to serve and broaden inclusion, from payments and savings to lending and insurance.

In this episode, Adam shares why the technology layer is so important, and how “returns with responsibility” is essential.
