1.1. Background:
This report was done as the part of the requirement for successful completion of the Internship
program. Exposure to the business world and acquiring practical work experience was the
primary objective of this assignment. The report focuses on the lending tools used in the Micro-
Credit Sector, the pre-conditions of customers for lending, the target customers, the supervision
systems. The topic for this report was decided upon after approval by my Faculty Advisor Prof.
Dr. Md. Nazmul Karim Chowdhury.
1.2. Problem Statement:The emergence of the Micro-Credit industry in Bangladesh presents a tremendous opportunity to
extend financial services to the vast majority of the poor people. Indeed, about 50% of a 140.26
million population are reckoned to live below the poverty line. Ironically, commercial banks in
the country typically serve no more than sixteen percent of the population. The remaining
populace historically does not have access to formal financial services banking services. So they
are rushing towers different kinds of non-traditional organizational organizations. Formal
banking services do not go to them due to their some formal procedures like minimum amount
for loan, guarantees, service charge and so on. They do not provide loans to poor or landless.
Because they demand guarantee which is impossible for these kind of people. On the other hand
Micro-Credit organizations have overcome this all problems. They provide loans for any amount,
do not think for guarantee, and go to the doors of customers doors. Thee organizations are
financing from their own fund or donors fund. In Bangladesh BRAC in Seylet after our liberation
war, started this service. Then Grameen Bank has made a tremendous revolution in this sector
and its activities have been rewarded worldwide. .

In fact in the last twenty years or so, the NGO-MFIs have greatly modified the Grameen Bank's
methodology and devised appropriate financial service technologies to serve the poor people.
Among them, a few organizations demonstrated splendid success and have become known
worldwide. The Micro-Credit industry in Bangladesh consists of NGOs, cooperatives, public
sector programs. The country is now teeming with more than 1000 Micro-Credit NGOs. Each
and every NGO has taken up Micro-Credit as a core activity
The present chemistry of Micro-Credit technology reveals that it is poised for a transformation.
The fact is amply manifest in the evolving Micro-Credit theme, product diversification,
overlapping, huge uncalled for consumption loans, individual loans, enterprise loans, savings
collection from non-members and highest frequency of prevailing interest rates. All these are
clear syndromes, which tell us that the situation is moving somewhere. The system does not any
longer like to follow the traditional discipline. On the contrary, Micro-Credit practitioners are not
seemingly prepared for commercialization but the situation is pushing them towards it, beyond
their knowledge. There is no alternative to commercialization as it is the crux of competition.
The poor people who are the customers are treated well and perceived as king. By designing
products to the evolving needs of clients, an organization can build client loyalty through
customer service and thereby increase its profit. In a competitive environment, customer
satisfaction and commercialization should be the driving force for survival and growth. The
Micro-Credit regulation in the country is now underway, which will provide a legal basis and
streamline the current and future MFI activities.
All these made me more interested for working on the title Lending Procedure in the Micro-
Credit Sector

The term "Micro-Credit institution" refers to those organizations that are characterized by their
commitment to assist poor families, micro entrepreneurs and impoverished women in gaining
access to financial services.
Micro-Credit institutions differ from traditional banks since they developed innovative lending
techniques in order to overcome all the obstacles that low-income borrowers are facing such as
lack of collateral and no credit history. Those techniques include: group lending, small loans with
progressive lending and frequent repayment installments.
In particular, group lending is an enforcement mechanism widely used in Micro-Credit and it
reduces adverse selection and moral hazard trough peer pressure and the threat of group sanctions
against the individual borrower.
The fear of loosing eligibility to further loans improves discipline inside the group, reduces
strategic default, and it ensures loan repayments.
In Bangladesh women constitute about half of the population, the majority of them are
underprivileged, under-nourished, illiterate and poor. In their lifetime, they experience two fold
realities: one determined by a culture and tradition that tends to keep them inside family
homesteads and the other shaped by increasing poverty that forces them outside into wage
employment for economic survival. According to the 1999/00 labour force survey (LFS) the
labour force of Bangladesh was estimated at 60m. More than 20m are women. There are not
enough employment opportunities for women. Therefore, economic activities through self-
employment became essential for potential working women. There has arisen a new class: the
women micro-entrepreneurs. Though there has been substantial participation of women in the
off-house activities, yet Bangladesh women still have not been able to impose a controlling
authority in mainstream production.

Conceptually, Micro-Credit can be described as collateral-free small loans offered to poor
households to generate self-employment in income generating activities based on group lending
methodology. The loan term is usually for one year. Saving programs play an integral part of the
credit program. Micro-Credit , broadly known as Micro-Credit has evolved in Bangladesh over
the past 20 years as an important sector of development. In wider terms it includes micro
insurance, microenterprise etc. Delivering Micro-Credit to the poor and poorest still is basically a
Non GovernmentOrganization- Micro-Credit Institution's ( NGO-MFIs) activity. More than 90per cent of borrowers are women. About 13m poor people are under Micro-Credit program
(MCP) coverage. Besides NGO-MFI, Government initiatives through formal sector banks, are
providing services to target poor people. On the other hand, a range of support groups spawned.
Growth of NGO-MFIs has led to the establishment of two new institutions in Bangladesh: Palli
Karma-Sayahak Foundation (PKSF), and the Credit and Development Forum (CDF). The two
institutions are extending very useful support to MFIs MCP. PKSF is an apex financing
organization providing credit and institutional development funding to NGO-MFIs, while CDF is
a network of NGO-MFIs. It provides need-based training and customised service to its member
NGO-MFIs.
4.1. Socio-Economic Status of the Members
In most cases, socio economic status of the members is very poor. Most of them live under
poverty level. Their family members vary from three to five and the average is three. That is they
are not aware of family planning. Monthly average income is between 20000-2500 tk but in most
cases it is 2200tk. So, they lead a miserable life and unable manage balanced diet for themselves
and their family members. For want of money and managing their family, they send their
27
7/29/2019 Complete Fr Micro
28/50
children to works instead of going school. So, most of the children can not take free primary
education.
Sometimes very few of them may cross the primary school boarder but a very few of them may
pass higher secondary school level. But now a days, with the bless of Micro-Credit organizations,
these poor people can solve their monetary problem by taking credit and for that some poor boys
and girls are keeping foot in higher study. As they can not take balanced diet, they suffer from
malnutrition diseases regularly. But they prefer to go to quack for treatment for want of money
and unconsciousness regarding health.
In average, earning members of these families varies from one to three most of who are engaged
in agriculture, small business or works as a day labor. Usually they have no own capital and
sometimes they borrow money from their relatives and Mohazon at a high rate and lead their
family selling labor. In villages the members have a permanent resident but in urban areas
members do not have own resident. As they are the owner of only 50 decimal land so, they take
lease others land to lead their family. Their houses are made Tin or straw or mud.
As their average income is very low and market price is very high so, their all earnings is spent to
buy daily commodities and they can not save for future and future generations. Most of the
family rear goats or cows and poultry for getting milk, meat or egg and cow dung. However, they
can not consume it rather they sell these products for financial solvency. They plant vegetables
and fruit trees also on their yard. They use tub well water for both drinking and cooking purpose
but wash their cloths in pond or canal water.
4.2. Pre-conditions to be a customer.
1. A person who has land of not more than 50 decimal except home stead can be a member.
But it may be 100 decimal in barren areas.
28
7/29/2019 Complete Fr Micro
29/50
2. Members average income will be maximum tk 4500 in rural area and tk 5500 in urban
area.
3. These members have no own capital and sometimes they borrow money from their
relatives and money lender at a high rate.
4. Members lead their family selling labor.
5. Numbers of members a team will be 20-30. But at starting it may be 10 and it may vary
from 25 to 35. More than one team may be formed in a village.
6. It is ensured that any one is a member just of one team or an organization.
7. Age limitation of members is 18-55 years. If any one is above 55 years, his physical
health is considered. Usually an unmarried woman is not made a member. However, if
any one takes responsibility of the unmarried woman, she become able to be a member
and the unmarried is made a member. But in this case, it is ensured that she will pay all
her borrowed money before she gets marry or any one will pay it in favor of her.
8. Members not interested in using money at any productive purpose, are discoursed.
Physically enabled husband and wife get priority.
9. Physically disabled, mad or abnormal are not made member.
4.2. Team formation

And discipline.
Good relationship among team members and discipline in the team is an important matter of a
team management. The root of Micro-Credit program is discipline. For proper management,
there is a president, a secretary and a cashier in a team. They are selected or elected by the
participation of members and indirect participation of LO. Every after two years, they are
selected or elected and it is mandatory. Their duration of duty is two years. But if it is necessary,
they may be changed before this time. None can be a president or a secretary or a cashier in a
team for more than two terms. All the decisions off all meeting are necessary to be written in the
resolution book and at the same time the signature of all presence should also be necessary. Side
by side of their signatures, the regulation regarding all types of collections, withdrawn or refunds
and loans must be written as per rules.
4.4. Team / Meeting Conducting
1. A weekly meeting is arranged at a fixed place at a certain day. This place is called
collection center.
2. At all meetings, presence of all members is expected. But it is taken positively if 80% of
all members are present in the meeting.
3. In case of an old team, members can change their meeting place.
4. Meeting is conducted by the president and LO.
5. Every member compulsorily deposits at least ten taka (it is prefixed by organizations).
But members can deposit more.
6. All types of cost (ex. regulation book, rubber sill, sign board, mat etc.) is borne by
members.
7. If any disorder arises in the team, it is the duty of members to bring discipline.
8. If any member falls into any trouble, all members try to solve that.
30
7/29/2019 Complete Fr Micro
31/50
9. If any one makes problem in backing money, LO gives responsibility on the president of
the team.
10. LOs must interchange their teams in every six months.
4.5. Process of loan approving
1. At first a person becomes a member of a Micro-Credit organization. Then he may apply
for loan on that day in a printed form of the organization and it is submitted to LO.
2. LO will submit it to the BM of the concern area before four weeks for approving the loan.
3. BM supervises the house of the applicant.
4. Both LO and BM speak to neighborers of the applicant and judge the physsibility of his
proposed loan.
5. Finally according to the principal of loans and advances BM approves for loan or cancels
it.
6. Usually team leader (ic.president) puts his signature on the application form. If he does
not agree to do it, any family member of the member can put signature.
7. In case of town, most of the members are nonresident. In this case a signature of land lord
is taken as certainty. However it is not a must.
4.6. Determination of amount of Credit Limit
4.6.1. First Phase:
In most Micro-Credit organizations, the highest limit of credit for new members is around
tk.10000.00 at villages, tk.15000.00 at Upa-zillas and tk. 20000.00 at districts level. This limit is
31
7/29/2019 Complete Fr Micro
32/50
not crossed but any amount below this limit may be approved. This limit depends on some
conditions like attitude, behavior and purpose of loan.
4.6.2. Second and further phases
Repaying the first phase, considering socio-economic and communication condition, capability
of member, saving rate and amount of past credit and credit limit usually second and further
credit limit is determined. In general in this stage credit limit increases than past from tk.1000-
3000. Competent use of loan and ability to back are considered more and usually every year
credit limit is increased. Here it is ensured so that no member takes loans from different
organizations.
4.7. Procedure of determining credit limit:.
There are two ways of determining credit limit.
4.7.1. Based on deposit
Without any deposit none can get any loan. So deposits that are considered for determining
credit limit are termed as considerable deposit. The followings are considerable deposit.
GPS
APS
Fixed deposits
Deposits that are doubled in seven years.
Monthly profit based deposits.
Based on the considerable deposits, credit limits usually stands to 150% of total considerable
deposit. At the same time, one's normal credit limit (tk.10000.00 at villages, tk.15000.00 at Upa-
32
7/29/2019 Complete Fr Micro
33/50
zillas and tk. 20000.00 at districts level) is determined. Based on the two, one may get the higher
of the two.
For example, Mrs. Korimon's normal credit limit is tk.15000.00. On the other hand her
considerable deposit is tk.12000.00.Besed on considerable deposit her credit limit stands
tk.12000.00*150%=tk.18000.00. As tk.18000.00 is higher than that she would get tk.18000.00 or
any amount below it as credit.
On the other hand, if her considerable deposit is tk.5000.00 or less she would get tk.15000.00.
4.7.2. Based on past credit limit
In this system one will take her first loan and pay all with service charge within 37 or 45 weeks.
After that if she wishes to take loan for second time, AM can increase credit limit up to
tk.2500.00 more or ZM can increase credit limit up to tk.5000.00.
For example, Mrs. Korimon took Tk.20000.00 as first loan and she has finished her loan in due
time. Then she would get tk.(2000000+2500.00)=22500.00 or (20000.00+5000.00)=25000.00 as
loan
4.8. Interest Rate on Credit
This report does not contain any detailed information on interest rate on loan. However, the
results by a questionnaire served to some licensed and non-licensed MFIs it is observed that
NGO-MFIs usually charge 11-15% flat interest on loans for a term of one year, which would be
around 24-30% per year if calculated on a declining balance method. Under the flat interest
method, MFIs charge a flat rate of interest for the total amount of loan at the beginning of the
loan disbursement and prepare a repayment schedule of equal installments. However, the real
effective rate turns out to be higher depending on the terms and conditions of loan such as
upfront deductions on loan, number of installments, mode of payment etc. Usually, loans for one-
year term are paid back by 45-46 weekly installments. Some loans are repaid by monthly
33
7/29/2019 Complete Fr Micro
34/50
installments and some are just by a single installment. The survey shows that if other terms and
conditions are not considered, effective rate of interest on general loan ranges from 25-33%.
Among them, 75% institutions range falls under 28-30% and modal value is 29%. If deductions
for savings and insurance during loan disbursement are considered, the effective interest rates
would be even higher.

05 Seasonal Loan 28-55% 26-33%
06 Disaster Management Loan 2.46-21% 2.56-21%
A concrete policy guideline on interest rate for loans is felt to be a serious need, preparation of
which is ongoing now. Defining a standardized way to calculate interest rates, standardization of
loan contracts and repayment schedules, proper disclosure of information are majorconcerns.
4.9. Loan Repayment/Installment Collection Method (Principal and Service charge
together)
4.9.1. Determination of amount per installment
34
7/29/2019 Complete Fr Micro
35/50
First total payable amount is determined adding principal with service charge. That is payable
amount=Principal+ Service charge. Interest is calculated on a Declining Balance Method and
such calculation is disclosed to all concerned.
For example let, Mrs. Korimon has taken 1000 taka loan. Then her service charge will be 110
(11% of principal). So her total payable amount will be tk.(1000+110)=tk.1100. She will have to
pay all with in 37 weeks. Taka per installment is (1100/37) tk. = 37.
4.9.2. Time of first installment
In most cases, first installment is received on the next week of loan allocation. A few
organizations collect installment from second week i.c. after fourteen day of loan allocation.
ASA's view is that if a loaner gets fourteen days he/she can invest it in any business and earns
profit. From profit he/she will pay his/her loan. Off course, vary recently MRA has circulated
that first installment will be not before fourteen days after allocation of loan. However, Micro-
Credit organization can allow any time more than fourteen days.
4.9.3. Grace Period
Usually most of the Micro-Credit organization would give a grace period of only seven days
which was harmful for the loaner to start his/her income generating activity. So MRA has
circulated that there will be a grace period of a minimum of 15 (fifteen) days between the date of
loan disbursement and the repayment of the first installment. The MFIs may, however, decide on
a longer grace period depending upon the nature of business of the client. The minimum number
of installments for an average loan (of one year tenure) would be 50 (fifty). If the repayment
date is a holiday, the client will be able to make payment of the outstanding installment along
with the next installment.
But till today the organizations calculate their grace period in the following way:
First installment on 14th day=2 weeks
35
7/29/2019 Complete Fr Micro
36/50
Two holidays in to Eids =2 weeks
Others (Govt. holiday, delivery, sickness) =2 weeks
So, total no of grace period is 6(six) weeks.
Though MRA has circulated that the minimum number of installments for an average loan (of
one year tenure) would be 50 (fifty), Micro-Credit organizations allow 37 week as installment.
So a member get (6+37)=43 weeks for repayment.
4.9.4. Method of Installment
At the of loan disbursement a deed is made called credit deed in which method of installment is
mentioned. Installment methods are of two types. In general, a credit deed is made that the loaner
will Pay installment every week and the amount of taka will be equal in every installment.
In another type of deed, it is mentioned that a loaner can back all credit with service charge any
time of the year or he/she can back it by any installment in any amount. But he/she will have to
pay it with in the year.
4.10. Bad debit:
It is an unexpected and bitter experience. It starts by one or two member, later it increases
gradually in a group and affects on all activities. In particular, group lending is an enforcement
mechanism widely used in Micro-Credit and it reduces adverse selection and moral hazard
trough peer pressure and the threat of group sanctions against the individual borrower The fear
of loosing eligibility to further loans improves discipline inside the group, reduces strategic
default, and it ensures loan repayments. However, some bad debit is occluded.
4.10.1. Causes of bad debit:
In mecrocredit bad debit is almost impossible. It has some causes. We have found the following
are the major causes.
1. Fault in team formation:
36
7/29/2019 Complete Fr Micro
37/50
Making member beyond targeted group.
Collecting members from far place.
Influence of big gun in team formation.
Making a woman a member whose husband is characterless.
Old aged membership.
2. Fault in team conducting and management.
Nepotism
Less control loan
4.11. Evolution of MFIs industry
Within the Micro-Credit industry, the majority of MFIs are subsidized, either by governments or
by NGOs.
According to the MRA, although there are over 254 Micro-Credit institutions (MFIs), serving
over 160 million poor people in our developing country, but they only reached 4 percent of total
potential market.
In the recent years there has been a tremendous growth in the number of Micro-Credit
borrowers, growing over the past five years, between 25 and 30 percent annually and it is
expected a similar growth in the coming years.
Micro-Credit industry is segmented, ranging from very small NGOs with few clients to large
institutions with millions of clients and it is a highly concentrated industry.
One need only consider that the median share of the largest MFI in a country is one third of the
entire market and the median share of the top ten MFIs is about 95 percent of the all industry.
The Micro-Credit investment market is also growing in size and maturity and it is increasing the
need of investors for transparency through market research, data provider and analysis of MIFs.

4.5. Findings:
After completion of this project paper, there are few findings I want to mention below.
Micro-Credit institutions have developed innovative lending techniques which includes
group lending is an enforcement mechanism widely used in Micro-Credit and it reduces
adverse selection and moral hazard trough peer pressure and the threat of group sanctions
against the individual borrower. The fear of loosing eligibility to further loans improves
discipline inside the group, reduces strategic default, and it ensures loan repayments.
Micro-Credit is a collateral-free small loan offered to the poor for one year. Saving
programs play an integral part of the credit program.
Generally, socio economic status of the members are very poor, live under poverty level,
large family, average income is between 20000-2500 tk, lead a miserable life
A person having not more than 50 decimal (100 decimal in barren areas) except home
stead, average income maximum tk 4500 in rural area and tk 5500 in urban area, may be
a member. Age limitation of members is 18-55 years.
A team is formed with 20-30 members. But at starting it may be 10 and it may vary from
25 to 35. Usually one team is formed in a village.However,more than one team may be
formed in a villag.
For team management, a president, a secretary and a cashier is selected/elected by the
participation of members and indirect participation of LO for two years. None can be a
president or a secretary or a cashier in a team for more than two terms.
38
7/29/2019 Complete Fr Micro
39/50
A weekly meeting at collection center is conducted by the president and LO. All types of
cost (ex. regulation book, rubber sill, sign board, mat etc.) is borne by members and any
disorder in the meeting is managed by the members.
After being a member one may apply for loan to the BM through LO with a signature of
the team leader. Than BM supervises the house of the applicant and approve or reject the
application.
In most Micro-Credit organizations, limit of credit for new members is around
tk.10000.00 to tk.15000.00. For the old members credit limit increase every year from
tk.1000-3000 considering socio-economic and communication condition, capability of
member, saving rate and amount of past credit and credit limit.
Based on the considerable deposits, credit limits usually stands to 150% of total
considerable deposit.
Hwever, the results by a questionnaire served to some licensed and non-licensed MFIs it
is observed that NGO-MFIs usually charge 11-15% flat interest on loans for a term of
one year, which would be around 24-30% per year if calculated on a declining balance
method.
Total payable amount is determined adding principal with service charge. In most cases,
first installment is received on the next week of loan allocation. However, Micro-Credit
organization can allow any time more than fourteen days.
At disbursement a deed is prepared called credit deed in which method of installment is
mentioned. Installment methods are of two types: weekly basis and one installment in a
year
Bad debit starts by one or two member and increases gradually. But, group lending, an
enforcement mechanism widely used, reduces it. The fear of loosing eligibility to further
39

loans improves discipline inside the group, reduces strategic default, and it ensures loan
repayments.

CHAPTER-5
Conclusion and Recommendation
Conclusion
Access to credit and other financial services is important for growth, investment and
development, yet few small businesses or individuals are able to get the access they need.
Poverty reduction through growth requires a focus on the indigenous private sector, composed of
a myriad of micro, small and medium enterprises are the primary source of jobs and economic
41
7/29/2019 Complete Fr Micro
42/50
opportunities. Micro-finance institutions (MFIs) have grown under the pioneering work of non-
government organizations.
Basically MFIs have two basic functions: financial intermediation and working as a development
agents.
. In most cases MFIs provide credit to marginal farmers or marginal beneficiaries. But it is not
enough for development because now mid size beneficiaries are suffering from capital. So
moving from financing marginal farmers to mid size or even large farmers would require how we
meet this basic challenge for MFIs in the future.
The foregoing points suggest that real customer service through commercialization should be the
bottom line for moving forward. In a competitive environment, customer satisfaction and
commercialization should be the driving force for survival and growth. The Micro-Credit
regulation in the country is now underway, which will provide a legal basis and streamline the
current and future MFI activities. To reap the benefits of commercialization, the clients should be
allowed to exercise their free choices. They should be granted liberty to do their own financial
management in order to increase their net worth. While, the financial intermediaries will require
mandate for providing a wide range of financial operations. It is expected that the ensuing
regulation will promote good governance and prudential management in NGO-MFIs, help protect
depositors, improve access to finance, preserve the innovations and variety, integrate Micro-
Credit with formal financial system.
Recommendation
Micro-Credit organizations provide loan to poor people. In exchange of it they take interest or
service charge but it is enough high for the poor. It must be reduced to a notable point. Initially
they provide a very small amount of highest tk. 10000.00 or any amount below it which
42
7/29/2019 Complete Fr Micro
43/50
sometimes can not help the poor enough to start a business or any income generating activities.
This limit should be high and it should be up to the ability of the beneficiary that he can repay.
Some Micro-Credit organizations work with just credit disbursement. But they dont give any
idea of income generating activities. Not only that but also they have on follow up that does
he/she do any income generating activity or not. They are satisfied with their repayment
installment. They should give up this way. Because is polluting the objective of Micro-Credit
program. So they must go after their members for their survival and sustainable development of
members.
Precondition to be a member is to have not more than 50 decimal (in rural) or 100 decimal (in
barren) areas except home stead. But at present this first condition should not be longer as
present day demand has increased
Bachelor women do not get credit without the consent of guardian. It is a great draw back of
Micro-Credit lending procedure which is against the empowerment of them. Micro-Credit
Regulatory Authority should impose rules so that Micro-Credit organizations be bound to give
loan to bachelor women.
According to the provision of the Micro-Credit Regulatory Authority(MRA)Act 2006, no private
organization (NGO-MFIs) is permitted to operate Micro-Credit activities in Bangladesh without
obtaining license from Micro-Credit Regulatory Authority (MRA). But only 540 Micro-Credit
organization has got license. On the other hand more than 3000 Micro-Credit organization is
running their Micro-Credit operation. So MRA should be strong in implementing its rules and
regulations. Otherwise poor people may be cheated in savings. They may have to pay more
interest or service charge.
Micro-Credit has enormous potential as a tool for poverty alleviation. However there is
significant risk in Micro-Credits often uncritical adoption. This risk is compounded by the
43
7/29/2019 Complete Fr Micro
44/50
systematic failure of many Micro-Credit institutions (MFIs) to engage the communities where
they work in the process of designing and evaluating Micro-Credit programs.
Credit disbursement is a target oriented job for credit worker. This is one of the greatest causes of
bad loan. So they should give a flexible time limit.
Some credit program should be run without or with low interest to encourage the poor
meritorious as MIF should make some examples of social responsibilities. Otherwise people or
next generation will know them just an interest taking institute.
Different Micro-Credit institutes of a locality should share information of their members so that
one can not take credit from more than one institute.
To promote agriculture lending through MFIs would require understanding of the peculiarities of
rural and agriculture sector namely-Geographic dispersion, Heterogeneity of the people,
Covariant risk, Lack of risk reducing institutions ( no insurance market),Insecure property rights.
The poor people who are the customers should be treated well and perceived as king. Financial
services offered by an MFI must be designed in response to the needs and capacities of the
clientele.
Terms and conditions of loan, savings and other products should respond to the particular needs
of the client group.
More importantly, products should be tested before launching in the market to gauze the
perception of the customers on the suitability of the new products.
