ABSTRACT:

Financial inclusion, characterized by access and usage of formal financial services, is a critical driver of economic development and poverty reduction. In Nigeria, a country with a large population of unbanked and underbanked individuals, adoption of Digital Financial Services (DFS) presents a promising avenue for expanding financial inclusion among low- income households. This study focused on evaluating the effectiveness of DFS for promoting financial inclusion among low-income households in Jigawa State, North-West Nigeria. Using a mixed-methods research approach, this study comprehensively assessed the impact of DFS on financial inclusion indicators. The research draws from a representative sample of low- income households in Jigawa State, examining utilization of DFS platforms, perceptions of the benefits and challenges associated with these services. Findings indicate notable increase in financial inclusion among low-income households in Jigawa State following the introduction of DFS. Factors contributing to this positive trend include improved convenience, reduced transaction costs, and increased financial literacy. However, challenges related to digital literacy (complexity) and trust in digital platforms (perceived risk) persist and need to be addressed to maximize the impact of DFS. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on financial inclusion and digital financial services by providing empirical insights specific to the Jigawa State context. The outcomes of this study are expected to inform policymakers, financial institutions, and DFS providers on strategies for further enhancing the reach and effectiveness of digital financial services in promoting financial inclusion among low-income households not only in Jigawa State but also in similar regions across Nigeria and beyond.
