Webinar Series: The Market for Commercial Relationships between Savings Groups and Financial Service Providers
In 2017, SEEP – in partnership with Itad Ltd. and with support from the Mastercard Foundation Savings Learning Lab – will host a webinar series to examine the market for commercial relationships between Savings Groups and FSPs. The series will explore the potential market size, the factors of demand and supply that characterize the relationships between SGs and FSPs, and emerging evidence of impact.
Webinar 1: The Demand for Formal Financial Services by Savings Groups: Financial Behaviour, Needs, and Market Opportunities
Date: April 5, 2017
Time: 9:30am EDT
Savings Groups provide basic financial services that meet most of the needs of most of their members. But the community-based model has some inherent limitations, and the financial service needs of SGs – and their members – evolve as groups mature.
The webinar will examine the demand for formal financial services by SGs and their members, including an estimate of the market size, the financial behaviour of SG members, the unmet needs for financial services by SGs and their members, the market opportunity for financial service providers, and the implications for the design of products and services for this market segment.
