This document discusses the role of information and communication technologies (ICT) in rural banking. ICT can help increase access to banking services in rural areas by enabling services to be delivered in a more cost-effective way at villagers' locations. This reduces transaction costs and delays while improving service quality. ICT plays an important role by increasing effective access, improving service delivery, supporting governance of banking services, enabling financial inclusion, and promoting economic growth. Rural information infrastructure collects, stores, updates, consolidates, and processes data to provide customized offerings and store information digitally. This infrastructure underpins solutions like a rural credit delivery system and document management software.
