Ideas
Loans
Trends
India - A consumption boom is taking place
- According to study by Bank of Baroda, India is riding a CAGR growth in excess of 35% for the last 5 years in 'retail loans' category
- Despite this, the penetration of credit products as a % of GDP is still very low
- Reasons could be (a) credit aversion (b) no distinction between good and bad paymasters (c) propensity to save is high due to insecure healthcare and social security concerns.
Expensive weddings
Gold - Helping India's middle class create assets while enjoying lifestyle
- Jewellers in India give lose guarantees that upon return of the jewellery, value of the metal in jewellery adjusted for workmanship costs will be redeemed. This acts as a big incentive for people to invest in jewellery as principal amount is secure. However, there is no formal guarantee mechanism to ensure the contract.
- This can be an opportunity for banks to step in, whereupon the banks can underwrite the value of the jewellery and assure full value upon jewellery redemption. Banks can extend loans to people to buy jewellery, whereby interest is charged differently for the value of the metal (lower interest rate) and higher for the loan against workmanship.
Microfinance
- 1.4 million microfinance groups in India
- Over 20 million members for microfinance groups
- According to one estimate, 30 million non-agricultural enterprises and 50 million landless households in India collectively need approximately $30 billion credit annually
- Microfinance is growing in South India, which contrasts with the stagnation in Eastern, Central and North Eastern India
- Downside: Microfinance involves very high transaction costs given the small amounts of money involved for each loan, which necessitates high transaction costs
Peer-to-peer banking - Emplowering C2C commerce using a finance intermediary like PaisaPay
- Paisa pay from ebay has empowered C2C payments
- A similar concept can be used for C2C cash payments.
- Here, a customer can pay cash to a approved vendor who is associated with a mobile telephone network. This vendor, in turn, for a fee, can credit the payment account of the 3rd party. The 3rd party, can then collect cash from the telephone company or ask the telephone company to credit his/her bank account.
