The checklist is not meant to be comprehensive, but rather to shed light on a provider’s (or product’s) ability to engender trust in, and help grow the, digital finance ecosystem writ large, based on how it handles certain key issues such as transparency, data security and product development.

Apart from an analysis tool, for early-stage innovations, this checklist might be transformed into an aspirational set of critical milestones - the achievement of which might even become the purpose of donor engagement.
