It represents a transformative space where virtual worlds intersect with digital assets, offering novel opportunities for businesses to redefine financial services. Despite the rapid growth of digital financial services, financial exclusion remains a major challenge, with approximately 1.4 billion adults globally still unbanked. This study explores the role of Metaverse banking (MB) in financial inclusion, highlighting its opportunities and challenges. This study explores the emergence of MB as a catalyst for financial inclusion within the virtual business world. By integrating MB with financial inclusion theories, the paper presents a conceptual framework to analyze opportunities and risks in this domain. The findings provide practical insights for banks, policymakers, and fintech companies on leveraging MB for inclusive economic development. 2026 Vikas Tripathi and Durgesh Agnihotri.
