11. Microfinance Challenges:
INFRASTRUCTURE >>> bank access for poor clients in rural
& suburban areas is difficult as a result of missing branches
HIGHER COST >>> the cost in relation to value of micro-
loans & deposits is very high
WORKING HOURS >>> poor usually work longer hours,
have no time for the branch visits during the day
HIGHER RISK >>> poor people don’t have fixed assets, their
collaterals are the results of future work
EDUCATION >>> unbanked clients are banking illiterates
and require education before purchase services
TECHNOLOGY>>> inefficient non standardized manual
provision of services
12. Solution:
Direct secure customer access everywhere via
intermediaries (agents) infrastructure
Lowest cost of operation through off-line card to
card services (no variable cost)
Local merchants as sales agents with services
available at extended hours
Possibility to control dedicated fund usage
Sharing IT infrastructure and automation of
services/processes enabling scalability
Efficiency of infrastructure through services
extendibility (credit/savings/insurance, etc.)
17. Conclusion
World is still cash dominated market
Real cash substitution could be only
driven by off-line card technology
Domestic payment card should:
be a medium which can be accepted
everywhere similar to a legal tender
provide cost of transaction always
cheaper than other means of payment
own visible value on the card
allow value transfer to other persons
be protected against any fraud and
counterfeiting
Fragmented, idiosyncratic payments environment across different countries w.r.t
Cut-off for settlement timelines
Clearing & revocability cycles
Transaction limits
Taxation structure
Market practices like Lifting fees
Globalization stimulating need for more efficient system for managing domestic & x-border payment services
Incomplete automation : Mix of manual processes and individual electronic clearing systems
