In turn, it evaluates financial inclusion in the context of specific challenges faced by unbanked and underbanked customers, who are easy targets for cyber criminals because they tend to have lower levels of digital literacy. The book presents novel discussions that identify the challenges and flaws associated with the enforcement of financial inclusion laws and related measures intended to promote financial inclusion in the SADC region. This is primarily done in order to reveal the current strengths and weaknesses of financial inclusion laws in relation to certain aspects of the companies, securities and financial markets in the region. For example, there is no common financialinclusion instrument/law that is effectively and uniformly applied throughout the SADC. This has impeded the enforcement authorities? efforts to effectively combat financial exclusion across the region. The book is likely the most comprehensive study to date on the regulation and promotion of financial inclusion in the SADC region and fills a major gap in SADC and African legal jurisprudence. As such, it offers a valuable asset for policymakers, attorneys, bankers, securities (share) holders, and other market participants who deal with financial inclusion, as well as undergraduate and graduate students interested in the topic. 410 0$aIus Gentium: Comparative Perspectives on Law and Justice,$x2214-9902 ;$v106 606 $aConflict of laws 606 $aConflict of laws 606 $aInternational law 606 $aComparative law 606 $aFinance$xLaw and legislation 606 $aCommercial law 606 $aPrivate International Law, International and Foreign Law, Comparative Law 606 $aFinancial Law 606 $aBusiness Law 615 0$aConflict of laws. 615 0$aConflict of laws. 615 0$aInternational law. 615 0$aComparative law. 615 0$aFinance$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aCommercial law. 615 14$aPrivate International Law, International and Foreign Law, Comparative Law. 615 24$aFinancial Law. 615 24$aBusiness Law. 676 $a910.5 676 $a332.0968 702 $aChitimira$b Howard 702 $aWarikandwa$b Tapiwa V$g(Tapiwa Victor), 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910683343303321 996 $aFinancial Inclusion and Digital Transformation Regulatory Practices in Selected SADC Countries$93085112 997 $aUNINA
