Partners-B&DC

Partners – Business & Development Correspondents & Facilitators
The group-based lending approach, which was pioneered in India by NABARD has been recognized the world over. The same has been adopted by NABFINS in meeting the credit needs of the poor and needy who do not have assets/collaterals. The social collateral emerging from the group dynamics, peer pressure are leveraged to extend credit to the poor. The Self Help Groups (SHGs) / Joint Liability Groups (JLG) are utilized as a tool for credit delivery.

Understanding and recognizing the role played by the Community based organizations in the form of NGOs, Trusts, Producer collectives in promoting and nurturing the concept of self-help, the company has empanelled such agencies, who have connected with the needy as partners.
