Savings

We pursue a focused campaign in encouraging clients to adopt a savings culture.  This is done through the triggering of capital formation by beneficiary enterprises via commitment-based products that encourage savings or by dissuading/limiting withdrawals to help them meet their savings goals and objectives.

  1. SaveFlex Accounts

For business clients or microenterprises, it is important to set aside – on a regular basis – part of daily sales into this savings account.  The money accumulated can then be used to cover business expansion, emergencies or as partial collateral to secure loans that we can advance.  We offer two variants of the SaveFlex Account:

2. SaveFlex Plus Account

For self-employed individuals and employees, it is imperative to set aside enough money that covers basic living for, at least, up to three months.  This money should be kept in an easily-accessible savings account – a feature of our SaveFlex Plus Account.  Money for short-term purchases and emergencies (such as unexpected medical bills, a bereavement or job loss) can be withdrawn from this account.  Withdrawals from this account are limited to a maximum of two per month to make the achievement of the savings objective more realistic.
