FINANCIAL INCLUSION

FSP MANAGEMENT: Business process management

Institutional strength of a financial service provider is based on its human resource capacity and corporate culture, both of which are expressed through the policies and processes that deliver services effectively to rural clients.

Technologies for delivering financial services are advancing, opening new ways to expand access to financial services. Yet, at its core, financial services remain a people business. In financial services, technology is most effective when employed by staff who understand clients’ needs and work within systems that are designed to respond to those needs.

The organizational structure and internal systems of a financial institutions determine how it responds to market opportunities and market risks. ACCESS supports its partners to ensure that their organizational goals, structure, and systems are aligned in order to achieve operational goals.
