Financial inclusion is a state in which everyone, especially the vulnerable sectors, has effective access to a wide range of financial services.
The increase in the use of digital financial services has impacted positively on financial inclusion, particularly in the rural areas. Research conducted in 2020 by Boston Consulting Group (BCG), concluded that Ghana has the third highest mobile payment patronage in the world, after China and Kenya.
JCS Investments as an impact investment firm rolled out a project known as FIBOP (Financial Inclusion for the Base of the Pyramid). The project is presented in the form of outlets located in the rural areas to provide financial services to the rural folks. Financial services offered in these outlets include Mobile money, Agency banking with selected banks, insurance and remittances services and ezwich services.
Interested in partnering with JCS to run an outlet like the Fibop outlets in the rural areas?
Contact JCS by sending as a message! We will surely get back to you.
