Despite several efforts by the governments to increase financial inclusion, globally 1.4 billion people still remain unbanked. The recent years have also witnessed an increasing role being played by the technology in the financial sector. Fintech using artificial intelligence, cloud computing and big data can overcome the problems of asymmetric information and increase financial inclusion. In this chapter through the lens of literature, we examine the role of fintech in the evolution of financial inclusion.
