Banking Services for the Poor: Managing for Financial Success
Robert Peck Christen, ACCION International

The Role of Commercial Banks in Microfinance
This manual has been developed to help microfinance program administrators manage for financial success and thus ensure the sustainability and outreach of their institutions. After an introductory summary of the four major challenges faced by microfinance institutions (MFIs), the three levels of cost recovery and leveraging of donor funding, the manual addresses evaluation of MFI financial stability, setting appropriate interest rates, asset/liability management, transfer pricing, MIS systems, internal controls and fraud management, and strategic financial planning.
