More than 2.5 billion people, almost half the world’s population, live on less than $2.50 a day. And the vast majority of them live without access to basic financial services—the type of fundamental resources that can improve and protect the lives of their families, businesses and communities.
MetLife Foundation believes that affordable, accessible and well-designed financial services can transform the lives of those in need, and we have committed $200 million over the next five years to advancing this effort around the world. We have built our vision for global financial inclusion on three powerful pillars: Access to Knowledge, Access to Services and Access to Insights.
