In response to a clear need by low-income people to gain access to
the full range of financial services including savings, a growing
number of microfinance NGOs are seeking guidelines to transform from
credit-focused microfinance organizations to regulated deposit-taking
financial intermediaries. In response to this trend, this book presents
a practical "how-to" manual for MFIs to develop the capacity
to become licensed and regulated to mobilize deposits from the
public.
Transforming Microfinance Institutions provides guidelines
for regulators to license and regulate microfinance providers, and for
transforming MFIs to meet the demands of two major new
stakeholders—regulators and shareholders. As such, it focuses on
developing the capacity of NGO MFIs to mobilize and intermediate
voluntary savings. Drawing from worldwide experience, it outlines how
to manage the transformation process and address major strategic and
operational issues inherent in transformation including competitive
positioning, business planning, accessing capital and shareholders, and
how to "transform" the MFI's human resources, financial
management, MIS, internal controls, and branch operations. Case studies
then provide examples of developing a new regulatory tier for
microfinance, and how a Ugandan NGO transformed to become a licensed
financial intermediary.
This book will be invaluable to regulators and microfinance NGOs
contemplating institutional transformation and will be of tremendous
use to donors and technical support agencies supporting MFIs in their
transformation.
