1 Defining the FINCA Brand 10 July 2012 – Mexico City

How does FINCA stand out? 2

Concerns Raised at Regional Meetings FINCA is the financial services provider of last resort Our prices are not competitive; our efforts to retain clients have not been effective. FINCA herds its customers into products they don’t need We are not reaching our mission-customers Potential customers think FINCA “doesn’t do” individual lending. Brand position doesn’t reflect what we want to be. FINCA doesn’t have meaningful customer segments; we think in terms of our products (group vs. individual loans). We are experiencing a convergence of group and individual lending. 3

Summary of Research Findings 6 HELPFUL FRIENDLY RESPECTFUL RESPONSIBLE TRUSTWORTY QUICK CHEAP INNOVATIVE CONVENIENT TECNOLOGICALLY UP-TO-DATE FLEXIBLE PERSONALIZED The interest rate FINCA charges is too high. Zambia Branches are far away, I fear carrying money out of the branch. Honduras I could lose my business if I don’t receive my loan in time. Tanzania “When the loan officers enter the office, you feel that they are friendly and ready to help. Georgia When you go into a branch they don’t look down at you, they treat you with respect. Mexico You’ll not be cheated at FINCA as you’ll get detailed information about loan terms and conditions, it’s not the same in other banks. Georgia FINCA is… FINCA is not…

FINCA’s uniqueness lies in its commercial performance and social mission 7 …but the role of the mission is not consistently portrayed or understood. “There is not really a social mission, FINCA has just determined a special corner of the market.” Stakeholder, Africa
