Female entrepreneurs to drive deeper digital finance adoption says DBS Bank study, finds 84% already use payment tools

DBS Bank India India HNW

New Delhi: Digital tools are becoming "increasingly integral to business management" for female entrepreneurs in India, supporting everything from payments and credit to payroll and future planning, according to DBS Bank India's latest Women and Finance study. The report said sustaining this momentum will require "going beyond traditional banking to create connected ecosystems that help entrepreneurs at every stage of their business journey."

The second edition of the study, The Digital Opportunity: Access, Adoption and Trust, was released ahead of MSME Day 2026 by DBS Bank India with Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India LLP as research partner. It draws insights from 1,342 women across North, South, East and West India, covering female entrepreneurs, High-Net-Worth women and rural women earners.
