Thank you to NetGalley and Kogan Page Publishing for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Open Banking and Financial Inclusion provides an overview of open banking including case studies in both emerging and developed markets in relation to efforts to enable financial inclusion, particularly for those who are unbanked and underbanked. This book covers different approaches to enabling open banking, i.e., market-driven or regulatory-driven and the implications of each approach across a variety of markets and how this impacts efforts for financial inclusion (I particularly appreciated the Canadian representation).

I found the sections on the way open banking relates to efforts to enable financial inclusion, particularly for those who have been historically removed from banking services broadly to be the most insightful as the concept of open banking still feels quite abstract and efforts for financial inclusion have a clear material benefit for many groups of people.
