The investment aimed to grow FINCA Haiti\u2019s network of branches and digital financial services and build its capacity to develop customer-centric and gender-sensitive financial products.<\/p>\n<p>FINCA Haiti partnered with Digicel, the largest telecom provider in the country, to offer clients (90 percent of whom are women) the option to make their loan repayments via mobile phone\u2014a service called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/finca.org\/insights\/case-study-digicel-mobile-money-moncash-haiti\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MonCash<\/a>. MonCash is a digital wallet that can hold a currency balance in a digital account that can be accessed using a user\u2019s mobile phone. And the phone doesn\u2019t have to be a smartphone since it is code-based rather than using an interface. Instead of having to make a long and expensive trip to a FINCA branch, this new service allows clients\u2014at no additional cost to them\u2014to transfer their payments via mobile phone using a nearby MonCash agent.<\/p>\n<p>This case study speaks directly to the promotion of financial inclusion for women and equal access to capital, markets, digital technology and business development services. The initiative is a true testament to how access to credit, mobile technology and digital literacy are jointly contributing toward women\u2019s economic empowerment.<\/p>\n<p>The case study was
