Abstract

Financial inclusion, defined as the process of ensuring access to appropriate financial services for all individuals and businesses, plays a crucial role in driving economic development and reducing poverty. In this context, universal banks—also known as full-service or universal banks—have emerged as key players in promoting financial inclusion by offering a wide range of financial services under one roof. These institutions provide individuals and businesses with access to savings, credit, insurance, investments, and payment services, which are essential for participating in modern economic activities.
