ABSTRACT
Digital financial inclusion ensures that the marginalized and
underserved population has digital access to and use of formal
financial services. Such services should be personalized to the needs
of consumers and delivered responsibly, at a cost that is both
affordable consumers and fair for suppliers. For both individuals and
companies, the digitalization of finance can reduce costs and open up
new market and livelihood opportunities to help nations rebuild better
after Covid-19. This study assesses the extent of digital financial
inclusion and measures the awareness and usage level of digital
financial services among tribal people in Kasaragod district, Kerala.
The results showed that there is association between age of the
respondents and the period of using digital financial services and also
there is no significant difference between males and females in usage
of digital financial services. The study reveals that people having
different educational group have different level of awareness about
digital financial services.
