*Shadreck Mpanga
The rapid expansion of digital banking has transformed the financial sector by enabling faster, more accessible, and scalable services. Technologies such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI) have significantly improved international financial inclusion, connecting urban and rural populations to banking systems.
