I. Background
The AWM, a shared payment platform that enables microfinance
institutions (MFIs) to offer real time financial products and services for
their clients through digital channels. Through the platform, MFIs are able to offer
bill payments, remittances, and collections, and also incoming international
remittance.
The VISA-NET Hope funded AgriPay Program is designed as a financial
inclusion program that will address the challenge of making financial services
available at scale and at affordable prices commercially in remote areas and
lean markets. Agripay Program has used AWM, a digital payment system and mobile
technology, to enable MFIs to offer new, cost effective, efficient and scalable
solutions to address these challenges.
It is expected that the use of AWM by MFIs will bring convenient and
affordable digital, real time payment service to the farmers for the first
time, increasing financial inclusion and business opportunity that can drive
greater efficiencies in the value chains while contributing to increased food
security.
The AgriPay Program will
achieve three primary results including:
1.
Work with 5 MFI partners in Bali Province directly serving farmers
with a minimum accumulation of 2,500 direct beneficiary small holder farmers,
of which expected at least 30% to be women.
2.
Generate 18,000 transactions over a period of 5 months pilot project, and
its expected growth to 1.4 million transactions by small holder farmers (SHFs)
within three years of rollout.
3.
Produce an E-book on AgriPay which will include a case study that highlights
specific examples of the products and demonstrate how the service was able to
meet the needs of farmers and drive digital payments in rural areas. This ebook
