Webinar: Market opportunities and the demand for formal financial services by Savings Groups
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.
Moderator: David Panetta, The SEEP Network
Webinar will run from 9AM – 10:30AM
