The Alliance for Financial Inclusion

A global network of over 100 financial policymakers and regulators, AFI works to advance financial inclusion, developing practical policy solutions that benefit the unbanked and underserved.

Maven partnered with the Alliance for Financial Inclusion (AFI) for over seven years, delivering both translation and interpretation services. Interpretation projects included large-scale policy forums, technical workshops, and virtual meetings. Held in locations such as USA, Germany and Fiji, events often required us to adapt quickly to varied formats and settings. Our interpretation services ensured real-time multilingual access during sessions. Additionally we have supported AFI by translating brochures, white papers, and press releases into multiple languages.

AFI’s event formats varied—from in-person conferences to virtual roundtables—often hosted in remote or logistically complex locations. Providing interpretation in such contexts required portable solutions and flexible team deployment. Virtual events introduced challenges related to time zones, with interpreters working outside regular hours to accommodate international participants. The subject matter itself—financial regulation, monetary policy, and technical economic frameworks—demanded interpreters with deep knowledge of finance-specific language. Maintaining continuity, confidentiality, and accuracy across these different formats and regions added layers of complexity to every engagement.

Maven successfully supported AFI’s multilingual communication needs by delivering accurate, reliable translation and interpretation across all event types. Our finance-savvy interpreter pool, paired with professional document translators, allowed us to ensure consistent messaging and clarity at every stage—from preparation to live sessions. The long-term nature of this collaboration reflects our ability to meet complex content demands, adapt to shifting formats, and deliver with consistency—building the reliability and trust needed to help AFI facilitate inclusive dialogue in the global financial policy space.
