Globally, 1 in 6 people live with a disability — yet they remain disproportionately excluded from financial systems due to limited access, discrimination, and inaccessible banking infrastructure. In Pakistan, only 21% of adults and 13% of women have bank accounts — and the gap for persons with disabilities is even wider.

At the Financial Inclusion Week 2025, organized by the Center For Financial Inclusion (‪@TheCFIchannel‬) at Accion, the session “Disability Innovation for Financial Resilience in Pakistan” brought together leaders driving change across technology, banking, and inclusion.

Moderator:
Pollyanna Wardrop, Senior Researcher – ‪@GlobalDisabilityInnovationHub‬

Speakers:
Omair Ahmad, CEO – NOWPDP
Arhum Ishtiaq, CTO & Co-Founder – ‪@ConnectHear‬

Together, they explored how innovation and cross-sector collaboration can build inclusive financial systems where persons with disabilities, especially women, can thrive as empowered economic agents.

NOWPDP remains committed to advancing accessibility, equity, and opportunity — ensuring that inclusion is not an afterthought, but the foundation of financial resilience.
