Invited speakers will report on their recent and ongoing work and provide an outlook on major lines and challenges ahead in their respective fields. This time, Andra Sonea, Research Fellow in FinTech at the University of Oxford, will deliver a talk located in the nexus of financial geography, planning, and spatial equity. You will find the abstract below and attached. Do not hesitate to forward this message and the attached PDF invitation to your PhD students, colleagues, and anybody who might be interested in the talk and discussion. We look forward to lively participation and discussion! René Westerholt and the Dortmund RAM Lab team Abstract: While the adoption of digital banking increases at very fast pace, the physical points of access to banking services disappear even faster. As there is no common policy, regulator, or method for measuring access to banking there is a risk that some communities remain without access to these essential services. The financial exclusion due to geographical barriers is a relatively new problem in the Western world. In this talk, Andra Sonea will present her recent research on measuring access to basic banking services through the post office network in Wales, and generally to banking across the UK. It is shown that some regions are systematically unbanked and that the official access criteria are largely unmet in Wales. -- Dr René Westerholt FRGS [Juniorprofessor] TU Dortmund University Spatial Modelling Lab, Department of Spatial Planning August-Schmidt-Str. 10, 44227 Dortmund, Germany [Voice] +49 (0)231 755 2287 [Email] rene.westerholt at tu-dortmund.de [Web (uni)] https://ram.raumplanung.tu-dortmund.de/ [Web (private)] https://www.westerholt-giscience.net Wichtiger Hinweis: Die Information in dieser E-Mail ist vertraulich.
