FinTech: financial inclusion and women

Can FinTech companies close the gender gap in access to financial services? In order to answer this question, the present research in the first part analyzes the literature that has been expressed on the diffusion of FinTech platforms and their approach to an inclusive financial system aimed at supporting and sustainable development of companies with greater difficulties in accessing credit, including women's businesses. The research is inspired by a study by the Bank of Italy on the analysis of FinTech platforms operating in the world and in Italy and then analyzes the specific data of a FinTech platform, through direct contact. The example of the research is the absence of comparable official data, while the originality of the work lies precisely in the desire to draw scientific attention to a well-known topic, but still little explored in terms of data and literature.
