Roughly 50% of Americans are worried about their bank deposits.

These findings are from a Gallup poll conducted April 3-25, the month after Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank collapsed. News about the failure of a third bank -- First Republic -- came after the poll was completed. The latest readings are similar to those in 2008. In September of that year, shortly after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, which remains the largest bankruptcy filing in U.S. history, 45% of U.S. adults said they were very or moderately worried about the safety of their money.

Financial inclusion can be defined as:

"the availability of basic financial services to save money, access credit and manage financial risk."

Financial independence occurs when people utilize these services to the extent that they have:

In the whitepaper "Digital money for inclusion. How FinTech is supporting the empowerment of women", writers Alberto Macciani, Ollie Claxton and Te Hana Goodyer expound on financial equality and the role that digital payments have in creating a more equal financial landscape.
