Abstract: •Financial inclusion—access to formal banking—positively influences new venture creation among low-income women.•The link between bank account ownership and venture creation weakens for women in highly restrictive gender norm contexts.•Having a bank account boosts women’s money skills, opportunity recognition, and entrepreneurial self-efficacy.•The indirect effects are weaker for women in contexts with high vs. low restrictive gender norms.
