Scale2Save Campaign
Micro savings, maximum impact.
The World Savings and Retail Banking Institute (WSBI) has conducted two research reports, as part of its Scale2Save programme, tracking the progress of retail and savings banks in their financial inclusion efforts across Africa (2018, 2019). These reports found that challenges persist around driving the customer journey within the institution as well as creating partnerships across institutions to offer more low-cost effective products.
In 2020 and 2021, Scale2Save is conducting research on finding solutions to these challenges. The focus has thus turned to producing a series of case studies, each of which dives deep into one theme that an institution may further explore to drive its response to the challenges outlined above. The first Scale2Save case study reports on the impact of Covid-19, and the second focuses on mobile financial services.
WSBI is delighted to invite you to the first online discussion of a series, co-organised with FinMark Trust, about the latest Scale2Save case studies. Join us on 30 March where we will present and debate the first two case studies across WSBI’s African membership.
Le World Savings and Retail Banking Institute (WSBI) a réalisé deux recherches, dans le cadre de son programme Scale2Save, afin de suivre les progrès des banques de détail et d’épargne dans leurs efforts d’inclusion financière en Afrique (2018, 2019). Ces rapports ont révélé que des défis persistent en ce qui concerne la conduite du parcours client au sein de l’institution et la création de partenariats entre les institutions, pour offrir des produits plus rentables.
En 2020 et 2021, Scale2Save réalise des recherches additionnelles visant à solutionner ces défis. Il s’agit de six études de cas, dont chacun des thèmes abordé apporte des éléments de réponses aux défis décrits ci-dessus. La première étude de cas Scale2Save relate l’impact de la COVID-19, et la seconde, qui sera publiée dans le courant du mois de mars, se concentre sur les services financiers mobiles.
Le WSBI est heureux de vous inviter à la première discussion en ligne, co-organisée avec FinMark Trust, sur les deux premières études de cas réalisées par Scale2Save. La réunion aura lieu le 30 mars, date à laquelle nous présenterons et débattrons avec d’autres membres africains du WSBI.
