The Alliance for Financial Inclusion, or AFI, is an international policy institute and public policy network that specializes in financial inclusion policy for the unbanked and underbanked population of the world. Its members include roughly 100 institutions comprising central banks, financial regulatory institutions, and financial inclusion policymakers from 80 least developed and developing countries.
AFI connects, encourages and enables policymakers to build capacity and develop policy initiatives in areas of financial technology (FinTech), consumer protection, microfinance, SME finance, gender-inclusive finance, inclusive green finance, micro-savings, and other general financial inclusion initiatives in Africa, Asia, Europe, Pacific Islands, Latin America, Caribbean, and the Middle East. While AFI members are predominantly regulatory institutions, it also engages with a variety of stakeholders, including governments, development agencies, and private sector firms through its strategic and knowledge partnership platforms. AFI also runs the world's largest financial inclusion forum annually.
AFI is currently headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with regional offices in Africa, Latin America, Middle East, and Europe. The current executive director is Dr. Alfred Hannig, who has held the post since 2008. The organization has three working languages: English, French and Spanish.
