Our Financial Services Program

Overview

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are significant employers and are often crucial suppliers of important commodities, goods and services. Importantly, a vibrant SME sector offers the best potential for an eventual broad private sector resurgence once the current crisis subsides. Particular attention therefore needs to be given to supporting this segment of the economy and access to credit to underpin SME’s revival plans are crucial during a pandemic and post-pandemic period.

Improved access to financial services and credit by the private sector will help to drive economic growth and create more jobs – goals that are consistent with Strongim Bisnis’ mandate. 

  • Expand the shared agency and digital payment network. This includes incubation of mobile money products.

    Expand effective Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) business and financial management development services.

    Develop cost effective and appropriate SME credit products.

  • The anticipated results from successful interventions within the above areas are:

    The agency banking network expands in rural areas through increased liquidity and financial management training.

    Mobile money products expand, particularly in rural markets.

    CBSI facilitates a robust and enabling regulatory environment for agency banking and mobile money.

    Financial literacy training features in consumer education and marketing of agency and mobile money services. Linkages are facilitated between these products and business/women's associations.

    Improved MSME business and financial management systems.

    Improved financial proposals leads to increased SME lending.

    Increased SME loans issued to individual women entrepreneurs.

    From improved access to finance, more jobs are created, particularly for women, youth and People Living With Disability through MSME growth and direct involvement in the agency services value chain.

    Access to credit, and improved business practices leads to MSME growth.

    Ultimately, increased net income for households.
