Microcredit
Key learning points
• Clients personal and business life is totally integrated – impacting in the range of the products
• Clients financial needs are high, but they have low trust in banks and the environment is very competitive: create other connections with the community
• High costs to run mini branches: create synergy with the AAB branches
• Credit agents: from the approval to the final repayment of the loan, over business advisory - a success model
• To find the right profile
• Deal with high index of negative credit records
