For much of history, financial institutions had to make efforts to develop physical infrastructure to reach these consumers; however, such investments were typically unprofitable and undesirable. Now however, digital solutions are making it possible to provide all citizens, independent of location, with access to at least basic financial services. Moreover, the development of digital platforms is creating an environment akin to a digital city. And with a city (even a digital one) come financial institutions.<br \/>\nAs more and more services come online and connect a greater number of people, digital financial institutions are expected to rise in both number and popularity. Moreover, they will increasingly help those in more remote areas gain access to the same financial opportunities present in large cities since digital financial institutions do not rely on physical locations and can service individuals regardless of location.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rpbt_shortcode\">\n\n<div id='rpbt-related-gallery-1' class='gallery related-gallery related-galleryid-13859 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Webinar: \u201cEmbrace Fintech\u201d by Jouk Pleiter and Jelmer de Jong'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/webinar-embrace-fintech-by-jouk-pleiter-and-jelmer-de-jong\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Embracing-FinTech-150x150.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-3684\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-3684'>\n\t\t\t\tWebinar: \u201cEmbrace Fintech\u201d by Jouk Pleiter and Jelmer de Jong\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='The heads of Yandex, Tinkoff and Severstal discuss technological developments'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/the-heads-of-yandex-tinkoff-and-severstal-discuss-technological-developments\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/the-heads-of-yandex-tinkoff-and-severstal-discuss-technological-developments-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-13442\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-13442'>\n\t\t\t\tThe heads of Yandex, Tinkoff and Severstal discuss technological developments\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Why financial institution-FinTech partnerships will disappoint in 2019'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/why-financial-institution-fintech-partnerships-will-disappoint-in-2019\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/why-financial-institution-fintech-partnerships-will-disappoint-in-2019-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-12141\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-12141'>\n\t\t\t\tWhy financial institution-FinTech partnerships will disappoint in 2019\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most pressing issues for financial institutions in Russia is how to make financial services available to those living in small towns and remote settlements.
