Rural Finance is about providing financial services for people living in rural areas. This Rural Finance blog aims to assist individuals & volunteers working in rural areas to build their capacity to deliver improved financial services which meet the needs of rural households.
Rural Financial Products :
Rural Finance is also about financial products which are at the heart of a financial service provider's business - they are what is "sold" to clients. Like any other business, therefore, a rural finance service provider must be market-driven and aim to identify and meet customers' needs on a profitable basis. Customers may be private individuals or businesses and their finance needs will range from needing somewhere safe to keep surplus money to being able to borrow to meet a cash shortfall or being able to send money to a relative in a rural area. Someone providing rural finance services, therefore, has to decide whether to offer their customers one product or several products and how much to charge in order to make a sustainable business.
