Existing service providers (e.g. insurance companies) lack efficient distribution channels to address this rural segment and only reach the wealthier, urban middle-class. The existing 25,000+ microfinance institutions (MFIs) in SSA have a trust-based relationship to rural clients and could bridge this gap, but cannot currently do so mainly due to inefficient, manual business processes. By offering awamo\u00ae 360, a cloud-based banking platform tailored to the needs of MFIs, awamo helps boost financial inclusion within a huge and still underserved market in rural Africa. In addition, awamo gains access to a massive client base. Currently, over 800,000 clients are being served via awamo\u00ae 360 in Uganda and Kenya. After going live in late 2018, awamo is pursuing a B2B2C business model and strategically has prioritized customer access. awamo is increasingly focusing on cross-selling essential services, such as credit default insurance. For its growth plans, awamo has raised a financing round with support from FASE.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video video-fit mb\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"awamo | Customer Experiences\" width=\"1020\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iQOBGLK_2P8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boosting financial inclusion of the BOP by digitising microfinance in Africa \/ Today, a population of 650m+ people in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) lives in rural areas with limited or non-existent [&#8230;]\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8724,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":21,"footnotes":""},"categories":[163,162],"tags":[2799,1417,2796,3033],"class_list":["post-8697","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-projects","category-finalised","tag-sdg-1-en","tag-sdg-10","tag-sdg-8-en","tag-sdg-9-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fa-se.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8697","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fa-se.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fa-se.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fa-se.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fa-se.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8697"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/fa-se.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8697\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11538,"href":"https:\/\/fa-se.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8697\/revisions\/11538"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fa-se.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8724"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fa-se.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8697"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fa-se.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8697"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fa-se.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8697"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
