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='Converse bank to support FinTech startups in Armenia'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/converse-bank-to-support-fintech-startups-in-armenia\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/illustration-of-business-people-avatar_53876-26734-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-10813\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-10813'>\n\t\t\t\tConverse bank to support FinTech startups in Armenia\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='National Bank of Kyrgyzstan bans replenishing e-wallets via mobile phone balances'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/national-bank-bans-replenishing-e-wallets-via-mobile-phone-balances\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/banking-background-design_1223-54-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-8893\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/banking-background-design_1223-54-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/banking-background-design_1223-54-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/banking-background-design_1223-54.jpg 626w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-8893'>\n\t\t\t\tNational Bank of Kyrgyzstan bans replenishing e-wallets via mobile phone balances\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Azerbaijani business sector using artificial intelligence'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/azerbaijani-business-sector-using-artificial-intelligence\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/shutterstock_499809115-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-8004\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-8004'>\n\t\t\t\tAzerbaijani business sector using artificial intelligence\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.
