In this video, UNCDF MicroLead partners share one of the key takeaways they will bring back to their institution.
The main objectives of the DFS Go Rural workshop were to expose participants to cutting edge initiatives in branchless banking, which would allow financial service providers to reach deeper into rural areas, to create/solidify the foundations of a community of practice amongst the programme’s stakeholders, and to share and learn.
Participants from over 20 countries from Asia and Africa participated. Representatives from mobile network operators (Airtel, Etisalat, Lonestar, MTN, Ncell, MTN, Tigo, TNM, Orange etc), financial service providers (AB Bank, ASA, BCEL, BRAC, CARD, CRDB, Equity, ESEVA, Fececam, Fidelity Bank, FINCA, Global IME, Laxmi, MSB, Mwanga, NBS, OIBM, PostBank, SASL, Ugafode, Woccu, etc), and other non-bank providers such as Zoona were invited to share their experience and learn from each other.
