French Development Agency (AFD website)
Thanks to the French Development Agency (AFD) for providing the Rural Bankers Association of the Philippines (RBAP) with an €800,000 (around P47.9 million) grant facility aimed to support the digital transformation of inclusive financial institutions, starting with rural banks.
In a statement released Friday, the Embassy of France in the Philippines cited the significant roles played by rural banks in promoting inclusivity in markets underserved by traditional commercial banks. To remain competitive, it said rural banks must modernize and adapt from manual to digitized processes to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and better serve their markets.
AFD Country Director in the Philippines Laurent Klein said he is pleased with the partnership they signed last July 9 with the RBAP noting that rural banks remain in a unique position to extend the reach of financial services in rural areas due to its wide range of diversity in size and activity
