Mobile banking is one of the most user-friendly financial technologies of our time. However, in Bangladesh ,especially in the urban slums of central Dhaka, most underprivileged women lack adequate knowledge and skills to use it. As a result, they often rely on others for financial transactions, which increases their dependency and limits their financial independence. This project seeks to understand how many percentages women in Dhaka’s urban slums use mobile banking, identifying both the purposes of usage and the barriers faced by those Who do not use Mobile banking. As we want to take initiate to teach non-users based on the survey findings, the initiative aims to promote financial inclusion and empower women by encouraging their active use of mobile banking services. Through awareness workshops and hands-on training, women will learn to use Mobile
banking for safe transactions, savings and small business activities. In addition,
selected women will be trained and supported to become local mobile banking agents.
This will allow female users to access cash-out and other financial services directly
from women within their own community, reducing dependency on male agents.
By building women’s confidence in digital finance, creating pathways for women-led
entrepreneurship and generating income opportunities, this project will strengthen
community-based financial services and contribute to greater economic empowerment
in slum areas.
