  • Tameer Bank's Experiences with Mobile Banking
    CHAPTER 11 Tameer Bank’s Experiences with Mobile Banking Shahid Mustafa1 Although Pakistan has several dynamic metropolitan centers, the majority of the population lives in rural areas, much of it far away from urban settlements. The rural population, predominantly poor, is widely unserved by the formal financial sector. This article explores how Tameer Bank aims to serve the rural poor by em- ploying modern communication technologies: The mobile phone is the corner- stone of Tameer Bank’s approach to outreach into the countryside. 1 Access to Finance: The Case of Pakistan The population of Pakistan is about 175 million, making it the sixth most popu- lous country in the world. The rural population is almost 64 percent of the total population. However, historically, the rural sector has suffered from policy neglect and the weak implementation of delivery systems for financial services. The services provided have been inadequate, inconvenient, and unaffordable. In relative terms, most attention has been paid to the provision of agricultural credit and the mobilization of deposits from wealthy people in rural areas. The provision of insurance, credit for non-farm purposes and for the landless and small farmers, and the mobilization of savings of the poor and the poorest in rural areas have not received much attention from policymakers. The lack of appropriate saving products, the almost total absence of insurance, limited access to credit for the poor and rural, non-farm activities, and an inefficient payments system has de- prived rural people of productive employment, as well as high and broadband growth. As a consequence, the rural economy is mired in a vicious circle of low growth, low productivity, low savings, weak employment generation, and rising poverty.2 1 Tameer Bank.
