Savings
Historically, MFIs have offered mainly credit to a relatively narrow range of microentrepreneurs whose income hovers near their country's poverty line. Today, there is growing recognition that not all low income people are necessarily entrepreneurs, but all people need and use a variety of financial services, including savings.
Just like everyone else, poor people need a wide range of financial services that are convenient, flexible, and reasonably priced. Access to savings, money transfers, and insurance are all needed. The challenge is to understand and meet this demand among increasingly poor and remote populations.
