.Weselina Angelow: "There is not fit for all response but the answer lies in a more granular understanding of the various levels of exclusion and the implications these levels have on how savings account and platform signup processes work best for different groups of people."

.Weselina Angelow:"Also, differences in digita l& financial skillsets of people have implications on the convenience of account and platform signup process and subsequently on the trust that people have for using digital savings and platform service beyond the initial sign up."

.Weselina Angelow:"WSBI #Scale2Save initiative tested 3 non-traditional customer sign up approaches:1)Trusted peer to peer subscriptions,2)Agent channel subscriptions as a second onboarding mechanism,3)customer self -subscription as gold standard of customer sign up approaches."
