What is a Microfinance Institution (MFI)?
Quite simply, a microfinance institution is an organization that offers financial services to low income populations. Almost all of these offer microcredit and only take back small amounts of savings from their own borrowers, not from the general public. Within the microfinance industry, the term microfinance institution has come to refer to a wide range of organizations dedicated to providing these services: NGOs, credit unions, cooperatives, private commercial banks and non-bank financial institutions (some that have transformed from NGOs into regulated institutions) and parts of state-owned banks, for example.
3.4 Making money work for poverty reduction: Working Out of Poverty
The incomes of working people living in poverty are not only low, but also volatile. Poor people, aware of the risks of not having sufficient earnings to meet daily needs, tend to save proportionally more than families with more secure, higher incomes. However, most banks do not offer savings and loan facilities to poor people. Many must hide their savings in cash somewhere and, when they need a loan, resort to the local moneylender for credit at onerous rates of interest. Microfinance is the provision, on a sustainable basis, of financial services such as credit, savings, insurance, payments and guarantees to poor people generally outside the reach of the formal financial market.
Ugandan Government to Set up Laws for Regulating its Microfinance Sector
During the 2007 Citigroup Micro-entrepreneurship awards ceremony in Kampala on January 10, 2008, State Minister for Microfinance, Caleb Akandwanaho announced that a new law regulating the activities of microfinance institutions will take effect in June 2008. The law is meant to bring an end to corruption in Uganda’s savings and co-operative organizations (SACCOs) following dozens of complaints from customers claiming to have been fleeced of their savings, and police investigations in September 2007 of four savings and co-operative organizations (SACCOs) suspected of fraud, including the suspension of The Support Uganda Savings and Cooperative Society, and arrests of SACCO heads.
Save Money On Your Taxes By Working From Home

Mortgage Renewals and Transfers – Finding the Best Rate
About one to two months prior to the expiration of a mortgage, most banks will send out mortgage renewal notices. Banks like to assume that the busy schedules of people will encourage them to simply renew rather than transfer their mortgages. The most unfortunate aspect of this approach on your part is that banks often will only offer you their posted price with little or no discount extended to you, even after you have been a loyal customer with them for some time. Banks win out when they take this approach because people truly are busy. Nearly 60 percent of people sign and return their renewals without considering what the competition has to offer, let alone looking into the rates of other mortgage renewals and transfers.
Mortgage Canada Rates – What’s Out There that the Banks are not Telling You?
For those consumers who are out there shopping for a mortgage loan, they may think that they are limited to going through an official Canadian bank. However, there are only five major banks in Canada, but over 70 lenders, giving people much more of an option than they may have initially realized. This is a secret that the banks prefer to keep. The truth is that these lenders offer mortgages at a far more competitive rate than do the major banks, including Scotia, RBC, TD, CIBC, or BMO. These rates are not available to consumers, unfortunately, but certified mortgage brokers have access to them.
Health Insurance Policies And Health Savings Accounts
With Health Insurance Policies becoming more and more expensive, people are beginning to look into other, less traditional options. One of the more viable of these options is called Health Savings Account, or HSA. Many companies are actually turning to Health Savings Accounts for their employees. HSA’s are quite simple. It is simply a savings account in which you, or your employer, deposits money into, just like any personal savings account you would open with a bank. However, you can only make annual deposits, and, unfortunately for some, there are actually limits on the amount you can deposit each year. The annual maximum for an individual account is $3,050, and the maximum for a family is $6,150.

In 2010, 157 banks were closed, a pace of about 3.0 banks per week
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation oversaw the closing of six banks on Friday, April 15. This brings the total for 2011 up to 34 banks, a pace of about 2.3 banks per week. The problem bank list published by the FDIC every quarter rested at just under 900 banks (out of 6,529 banks in the banking system) on December 31, 2010. The other number that is important is the number of banks that were acquired or merged into other banks. Last year there were 153 banks dropping out of the industry due to such consolidations. Thus, the number of banks in the commercial banking system declined by 310 units last year or at a rate of approximately 6.0 banks leaving the system per week.
