| MF Core Micro
Finance Solution |
|
| Introduction - Micro
Finance Market |
|
| Micro finance is defined
as a provision of Micro Finance Institutions
(MFIs) of extending credit and other financial
services of very small amounts of money to the
poor population in rural, semi-urban or urban
areas to enable them to improve their income and
improve their overall living standards. The Micro
Finance (MF) industry, globally, is experiencing
major growth fuelled by recognition of the need
for financial inclusion of larger populations in
most countries. This objective requires quick
implementation of services delivery network,
establishment of strong business processes and
workflow and above all, building of controls &
compliance across growing enterprises. |
|
| Micro Finance Market
Research |
|
|
| According to McKinsey
& Company (2010) in excess of 2.5 billion or a
third of the world's population still does not
use banks or micro finance institutions. |
|
|
 |
2.2 billion of these people reside
in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the
Middle East. |
|
|
|
| |
 |
These numbers clearly represent
opportunities for financial institutions
in their domestic markets to offer an
innovative range of high-quality,
affordable micro finance products and
services. |
|
|
|
|
|
Micro Finance Market Trends |
|
|
 |
Technology will play an important
role in achieving the goal of making
financial services available to poor
people and people and people living in
remote or low populated areas. |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
Transaction costs will thus be
significantly reduced and "exclusion" on
grounds of being too far from a physical
outlet will continue to diminish. |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
As the technological infrastructure
(internet, cell phone networks)
continues to improve, people will be
able to do their transactions without
any physical contact with a bank branch
or a MF credit officer. |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
The rapid proliferation of cellular
phones around the world has changed the
course of human development. |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
At the same time, 1.7 billion
low-income cell phone users do not have
a bank account. Thus they remain outside
of the sphere of economic opportunities
that is represented by financial access. |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
Through their phone connections,
small business owners, farmers and
others either living in rural areas or
at the bottom end of the socio-financial
pyramid are obtaining the capability to
communicate instantly and transfer funds
to individuals and institutions. |
