Culturally inclusive banking
About this talk: How does banking work in one of the most geographically, culturally, and economically remote countries on earth? Westpac Papua New Guinea works in the Highlands of the southwestern Pacific nation to build an inclusive banking structure built on the Wantok system, a kind of tribal social security. Working with the Wantok system ensures that Papua New Guineans can grow their future with respect and empowerment while keeping local traditions strong.
