CIF 2 CIF 3 CIF 1 Business Model - A CIF is capitalised from a central trust and thereafter becomes a revolving source of funds Standard Bank Community Investment Trust Donor 1 Donor 2 Donor 3 Loan The CIF uses donor funding for the purpose of on-lending to informal micro enterprises Community peer pressure and moral persuasion are used to ensure repayment. No collateral required Repayment Donors do not accrue any profit – all returns are reinvested into the fund etc All donor funds accrue to an umbrella fund which disburses monies to the various CIF’s

Loan terms Repayments are made over a maximum period of 24 months, and the repayment schedule is linked to the nature and requirements of the business Interest is charged at 3% pm on outstanding balances Loan size ranges from R R There is an initiation fee of R100 and a monthly charge of R15
