| Project: |
The regulation of branchless banking: SA, Brazil and Philippines country study (2007). |
| Client: |
Consultative Group to Assist the Poor (CGAP). |
| Overview: |
Genesis Analytics undertook a diagnostic assessment of relevant legislation, the regulatory environment, and its application to branchless banking in each country through intensive interaction with all relevant stakeholders during country visits. The assessment was used to evaluate the degree of openness and certainty provided for the branchless banking models currently operating, and to identify steps that could be taken to improve the policy and regulatory preconditions for branchless banking and other uses of technology to bank the unbanked poor. This project places a strong emphasis on the emerging regulation of mobile phone-enabled financial services.
