▪ Women represent over 50% of the global population and 40% of the labor force.
▪ Women-owned small and medium enterprises (WSMEs) represent over 30% of registered
businesses worldwide.
▪ 70% of WSMEs in the formal sector in emerging markets are underserved by financial institutions
▪ Closing gender gaps is not only good for development, it is also good business for private enterprise
▪ IFC’s Banking on Women program works towards closing this gap by helping financial institutions
sustainability and profitably target this underserved segment.

Dispelling Gender Myths
Myth Client issue IFC response
BOW is about CSR • Client wants to be seen as doing right thing by society and government• BOW viewed as a loss-making enterprise and not bothered with the outreach & “numbers”
• BOW about tapping into a high profit segment• CSR activities not sustainable • Clients “see through” CSR
Men/Women portfolio performance same
• Lack of data to show otherwise provides a client with easy mismatching opportunity• Emphasis generally on loan quality
• Use similar examples with a range of business metrics e.g. propensity to deposit, retention rate, cross selling opportunities
Do not discriminate so no opportunity here
• We treat everyone the same so there is no problem with our sales approach
• Not about discrimination but understanding different needs & financial behavior
It’s about creating a pink credit card for shopping
• Purely about small scale product adaptation, not fundamental new proposition required
• Success requires a combination of elements: product may or may not be important
It might work in other markets, but not in this market
• Your examples are mainly based on other countries, we don’t have this level of discrimination/ barriers for women
• Emphasize examples in similar markets Australia, UK and US• It works in China, Indonesia, Philippines, Lebanon, Dominican Rep.
It will alienate our male customers
• By branding the bank as “gender-friendly” it will alienate the male customers
• Research shows that male customers not negatively impacted

• Provides source of market differentiation in competitive SME markets• Establishes reputation as an innovator • Entry and differentiation in specific sectors where concentration e.g. retail, mobile, youth• Creates strong community-based advocacy and enhances corporate social responsibility
• Once main banker status achieved, higher cross-sell ratio’s (between 1 and 2 times)• Higher footings obtained per relationship and higher fee generation • Respond well to relationship management-based models • Demonstrate stronger retention rates in many clients
• Take the business relationship, high likelihood that will take majority of family wallet • High advocacy creates strong conversion rates for husband business and personal FS• Up to 85% of family financial decisions made by the women globally
Market Share Growth
• Female customers have lower risk tolerance as both business and personal customers• Women-led businesses outperform those led by men, including start-ups• Stronger business plans can create higher acceptance rates and reduced processing costs• Default rates are either the same or better than male counterparts depending upon market

Sources: IFC Enterprise Finance Gap Database (2011), FinScope, IFC IDG Targets for Micro/Retail and MSMEs. 11
• The World Bank Group is committed to providing access to finance for one billion people by 2020. As part of this ambitious goal, IFC has committed to help provide access to 600 million financial transaction accounts by 2020.
• 156 million more men than women have an account at a bank or other financial institution
• DFS is critical in achieving this goal, especially for women. IFC wants to reach 200 million clients through Digital Financial Services by 2020.

Digital Financial Inclusion for Woman Can..:
• Help bridge the gender gap in account ownership and increase
women’s participation in the financial system–both in terms of the
volume and value of transactions.
• Provide women with greater privacy, confidentiality, and control
over their finances.
• Give women the opportunity to save formally, lowering or
eliminating the high cost associated with saving informally.
• Improve women’s access to formal credit
• Reduce time spent on travelling to access banks or make utility
payments.
• Have a multiplier effect that drives adoption among more women.

Mobile Banking Project in PNG
• Papua New Guinea (PNG) has a population of approximately 8 million with 80% of the population living in rural areas
• 85% of the population are unbanked
• A predominately cash-based society
• Approximately 42% of the population have a mobile phone
• Geography and demographics make traditional banking operations extremely challenging (> 3 hours to reach bank branch @ cost of 2 times av. daily income)
• The use and growth of mobile phone reach provided an opportunity to introduce
mobile banking
