Forced displacement poses a challenge to development. It displaces men, women, and children from their places of residence, making them strangers in another community and country. In the host country, they often lack legal identity. As a result, they cannot access basic formal financial services because financial service providers won’t serve them without formal legal identification. This puts forcibly displaced persons in a vulnerable situation. Financial inclusion for forcibly displaced persons, if it can be achieved, can give them access to basic financial services, which they can use to build resilience and cope with the humanitarian crises that accompany forced displacement. This study identifies some strategies to increase financial inclusion for forcibly displaced persons. It also highlights some challenges that may be encountered in advancing financial inclusion for forcibly displaced persons. The insights offered in this article are useful for development policymaking. It is also useful to academics, policymakers, and practitioners involved in activities, projects, or programs that are aimed at restoring the livelihoods of vulnerable people
