Influence of internationalization on consumer exclusion from the financial services market

This paper presents the results of research identifying on the impact of the internationalization process of financial services on the development of the phenomenon of financial exclusion of consumers. Results shows that level of financial exclusion of consumers, both discretionary and mandatory, is very high. Consumers more often face difficulties in using services of foreign financial institutions rather than of domestic ones. This is particularly notable with respect to the need of fund saving and taking financial commitments.
