STRETCHING THEAFFORDABILITY
ENEVELOPEWeselina Angelow
The challenge we were left with:How to provide +/‐ 5 transactions per month within the affordability envelope shown below
and recognise we have to share this with other suppliers
Poorest Four (Uganda, Tanzania B.Faso & Kenya)
Middle three (Lesotho, Vietnam and
Morocco)
Best off three (Indonesia, El Salv. &
South Africa)
Suggested target market
mod/near‐poor householders
mix of unbanked householders and
third adults
secondary householders/ third adults
Daily spend in target market +/‐ $1.25 $2~$3 $3~$6
Likely monthly financial flow +/‐ $25 +/‐ $60 +/‐ $80
Max. available to pay for fin. Services … per month
+/‐ $1.00 +/‐ $1.50 +/‐ $2
We have to think about a lot of needs that must be met within the envelope
Get periodic but irregular surpluses of money out of the pocket quickly
Accumulate / lock away usable lump
sums derived from put aside surpluses
Turn spasmodic lump‐sums into a predictable but not always regular cash
flow
Send and/or receive money from friends
and family
Interfacing with the formal economy (without wasting time/money)
THE MOST IMMEDIATEPRIORITY FROM THE

We now have to think much, much more about members’ capacities to meet needs rather than just thinking about ‘products’

REMOTELY TRIGGERED ¦ INCREASINGLY ELECTRONIC ¦ REMOTE / DIGI.
Traditional savings plans become more of a digital extension to capturing cash flow
Adding low–cost digital transactions into the mix
WSBI has invested $15 million adding in the core capacities and we are focusing on remote digital accessibility
service already available
So the critical issue is ……

Weselina Angelow(Programme Manager)
. . . . the affordability challenge to our members is to price a pro‐poor package so that customers:
a. meet as many of their needs as possible using our platforms; and then
b. use us in partnership with others to fill the gaps (particularly remote P2P and cash‐in/out
