It addresses financial inclusion and regulatory issues for underserved populations and policymakers, but is largely incremental as it synthesizes existing technologies and concerns without introducing new methods or breakthroughs.
This paper analyzes how digital banks and alternative lenders affect financial inclusion and create regulatory challenges, using digital platforms, machine learning, and large language models to improve access for underserved populations. It finds that evolving regulatory frameworks are needed to balance innovation with risk management, offering policy recommendations for stakeholders.
This paper explores the dual impact of digital banks and alternative lenders on financial inclusion and the regulatory challenges posed by their business models. It discusses the integration of digital platforms, machine learning (ML), and Large Language Models (LLMs) in enhancing financial services accessibility for underserved populations. Through a detailed analysis of operational frameworks and technological infrastructures, this research identifies key mechanisms that facilitate broader financial access and mitigate traditional barriers. Additionally, the paper addresses significant regulatory concerns involving data privacy, algorithmic bias, financial stability, and consumer protection. Employing a mixed-methods approach, which combines quantitative financial data analysis with qualitative insights from industry experts, this paper elucidates the complexities of leveraging digital technology to foster financial inclusivity. The findings underscore the necessity of evolving regulatory frameworks that harmonize innovation with comprehensive risk management. This paper concludes with policy recommendations for regulators, financial institutions, and technology providers, aiming to cultivate a more inclusive and stable financial ecosystem through prudent digital technology integration.
