The
FinMark Trust launched FinScope™ as a pilot project in
Botswana, in 2003, to begin the process of: understanding usage
and need for financial services, measuring effective access to
financial services, identifying market segments and assessing
opportunities for expansion of financial services.
In 2004, the Trust funded the first full scale survey in
Botswana, in partnership with the Botswana Building Society,
Botswana Life, Botswana Savings Bank, First National Bank and
Standard Chartered Bank. Information was collected in 1 200
interviews with a nationally representative sample of people,
aged 18 and over.
The survey tracks the changing landscape of access to financial
services across all the main product categories
–
transaction banking, savings, credit and insurance. It
highlights the barriers poor people encounter when they attempt
to gain access to financial services and assists policy makers
in both the public and private sector to remove or reduce the
barriers.
