Business Correspondents are retail agents who represent banks and are responsible for delivering banking services at locations other than a bank branch/ATM.
BCs support banks in providing its limited range of banking services at affordable cost. Thus, they are pivotal in promoting financial inclusion. According to the RBI’s mandate, the products offered by BCs include Small Savings Accounts, Fixed Deposit and Recurring Deposit with low minimum deposits, Remittance to any BC customer, Micro Credit and General Insurance.
The BC model helps banks in bringing door-step delivery of services especially ‘cash in – cash out’ transactions in areas which are to nearer to the rural population, thus resolving the issue of last-mile delivery.
Connecting Farmers to Banks : Agritech Start-ups are helping to achieve financial solutions
It is possible to improve farmer access to markets and farm economics, without tweaking the regulatory framework—with Agri fintech.
Approximately 30% farmers have access to institutional credit and balance 70% remain dependent on informal credit.
Bankers are wary of lending to farmers and other value chain players primarily because of lack of data, market linkages, high transactional cost of lending as well as recovery, along with unpredictable loan waivers by the state governments.
