Pitcairn

No Open Banking

Four volcanic islands stretched across several hundred miles of the southern Pacific Ocean.

According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), fintech could potentially allow Pacific island countries to alleviate the impact of structural impediments and persistent challenges, such as geographic remoteness and dispersion, small scale, limited infrastructure, and fragile correspondent banking relationships. Fintech solutions can complement existing efforts to promote financial inclusion, enhance financial sector development, and increase inclusive growth potential, thereby reducing poverty.
