  Financial Inclusion in the UK provides CHASM’s findings from a rapid review of financial inclusion commissioned by the Financial Inclusion Commission. The review looks at financial inclusion both in terms the types of products and services required and the groups of people most likely to be excluded, before making suggestions for potential approaches to tackle exclusion – preferably within the framework of a national strategy.
