Abstract: Digital finance is embedded within complex relational ties, both within a household and in its interactions with a wide range of external actors. Households are also processual entities; digital finance both shapes and is shaped by this ‘becoming’ of the household. Digital human finance must engage with the understanding that most financial behaviour occurs within the household, and that households are defined by culture. Households vary across different cultural and historical contexts. Given the spatio-temporal complexity of contemporary households, this chapter proposes the idea of a networked household. Here, the household is itself the product of internal networked interactions between constitutive nodes that may be separated over spatial locations. It is also placed within larger networks and subject to external interactions. Both aspects of the networked household are important in understanding how digital finance works at larger scales.
