According to an International Finance Corporation (IFC) report, the credit gap for informal enterprises within the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector in India was estimated at US$418 billion in 2012-13.<sup>4</sup> Underlying the gap in accessing formal credit is the story of missing applicant credit histories or other parameters of credit worthiness used in traditional appraisal processes by lenders.<sup>5</sup> Under such circumstances, most enterprises resort to informal lenders, despite the high interest rates charged. Reluctance to adopt digital payments further exacerbates this situation, since it is near impossible to convince lenders of credit worthiness in the face of missing information on credit and other transactional histories. Lack of awareness, low capability and unwillingness to try new technologies for fear of failure are some reasons that contribute to this wariness and create a vicious cycle that has been hard to break.\r\n\r\nCATALYST, in its drive to explore the digital readiness of this segment, hypothesized that providing access to a small amount of credit at lower rates could act as a hook for digital payment adoption and usage, which in turn could trigger a positive spiral to access higher amounts of credit. In a preliminary study to understand the financial behavior and borrowing pattern of small businesses, CATALYST conducted a Credit Needs Assessment Survey (CNAS) where 1,140 small fixed store merchants in Jaipur were interviewed in September 2017. The survey showed that 69 percent of the merchants sourced their credit from informal sources such as friends, family and local moneylenders. Merchants expressed dissatisfaction with local moneylenders because they charged an interest rate of over 30 percent per month. But they still tend to prefer informal lenders over formal ones because of ease of access, no requirement of lengthy documentation, and speedy processes.\r\n\r\nArmed with these insights, CATALYST launched the Credit as a Hook pilot in Jaipur in June 2018 for a select set of merchants. The pilot aimed to provide incremental loans through a starter-builder model starting with a small loan that would increase based on usage of digital payments, where the payment footprint would help merchants build their formal credit history. CATALYST hypothesized that, for the  merchants, this would result in larger loans over a period of time at better rates of interest. For lenders, the presence of a digital footprint would provide the means to underwrite loans better and allow them to acquire new customers (i.e., a set of small merchants that was hitherto unserved by formal financial institutions). The initial pre-assessment survey carried out prior to the product launch, CATALYST’s CNAS report, revealed that 92 percent merchants contacted during the survey was aware of digital payment solutions. Of these, 53.5 percent was interested in availing credit through a digital platform with an expectation of quick processing time.\r\n\r\nThe first challenge that CATALYST faced was to convince lenders to provide an initial loan, albeit small, in the absence of a digital payment history. Traditionally, the route to access credit has been via an established digital payment footprint because of the inherent difference in the way payment and credit operates. Payment systems work better when more people use them, and therefore are designed to be more inclusive in nature. Credit, on the other hand, is designed to hedge excessive risks, and therefore is harder to establish as the first step to financial inclusion of the underserved market segment with no credit history.\r\n\r\nA lending model is predicated on profits from taking calculated risks. So, lenders seek to build strong relationships with their customers and get a broad base of information to calculate the exact underlying risk. On the other hand, payment companies are inherently less dependent on understanding customer risk. Payment businesses therefore tend to be more transactional and less relationship-based than lending ones. The quality or depth of individual customer relationships matters less. Instead, the number and breadth of customers and their networks matter more.<sup>6</sup>\r\n\r\nUnderstanding these basic functions of payments and credit is critical to exploring how the two can be linked. Technology and access to customer data play a huge role in leveraging the payment and credit lens to achieve financial inclusion.\r\n\r\nThe CATALYST pilot aimed at precisely this understanding. How can we urge merchants to start using digital solutions, which in turn can help them access credit at better terms?\r\n\r\nWhile the merits of credit are known, research is beginning to show the advantages of digital credit as well. Early evidence from studying M-Shawri<sup>7</sup> in Kenya has shown that uptake of digital loans has helped improve household resilience against shocks and increased the propensity of families to spend on welfare activities such as health and education.<sup>8</sup> While we have little evidence available from similar experiments in India, we expect the positive benefits would be similar.\r\n\r\nWe hope that the following results of CATALYST’s Credit as a Hook pilot reveal the opportunities and challenges of launching a digital payment and loan product bundle for underserved informal sector merchants in India.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_color=\"#757c74\" font_size=\"14px\" letter_spacing=\"\"]<em><sup>1</sup>India’s $670 billion retail market is heading for a dream run, April 16, 2018, Quartz.</em>\r\n\r\n<em><sup>2</sup>Retail Transformation: Changing Your Performance Trajectory, BCG-CII National Retail Summit Report, 2016.</em>\r\n\r\n<em><sup>3</sup>Found: 111 million MSME workers in India as data rules changes, Livemint, November 22, 2017.</em>\r\n\r\n<em><sup>4</sup>MSME Finance Gap, Assessment of the shortfalls and opportunities in financing micro, small and medium enterprises in emerging markets, IFC, 2017.</em>\r\n\r\n<em><sup>5</sup>Research by Entrepreneurial Finance Lab, retrieved from The Hindu Business Line, ‘There is a credit gap of 56% in the MSME sector’, July 2, 2014</em>\r\n\r\n<em><sup>6</sup>Buckley, R. and I.Mas.

For the pilot, CATALYST partnered with Nupay, a Point of Sale (PoS) device or card swipe machine provider and an early stage startup, and Capital First, a Non Banking Financial Company (NBFC), which agreed to provide term loans to fixed store merchants in Jaipur. The combination of a payment device and loan was offered as a bundle, with the intention of testing the extent to which credit can act as a ‘hook’ to adopt and use digital payments. This combination was created for the purpose of the pilot alone since lenders are unclear of the risks involved in offering a small amount of credit, no matter how small, before they can establish credit history based on transactions on the device provided. Since the combination of partners was arranged by CATALYST for the pilot, CATALYST also had to provide a set of Feet on Street (FoS) for on-the-ground support to roll out the services. The FoS team, trained by CATALYST, provided support in marketing and customer acquisition.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Product bundle: Capital First and Nupay, a term loan with a card swipe machine</strong>\r\n\r\nProduct bundle details: Capital First (the lender) agreed to provide loans of a ticket size of INR 25,000 to INR 5 lakh at an interest rate of 18 percent to 24 percent annually for a tenure of nine months to 36 months, depending on the ticket size and repayment capacity.\r\n\r\nNupay’s card swipe machine had a monthly rental of INR 350 (~ US$5) plus 18 percent Goods and Service Tax (GST), which was also to be paid by merchants. The lender agreed that merchants would be considered for an incremental loan based on their repayment history observed in the first tranche of the loan, and their digital transaction footprint.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Project roll-out and findings: digital payment adoption vs. non-adoption</strong>\r\n\r\nDuring the pilot, CATALYST reached out to 409 fixed store merchants across six major markets in Jaipur (Shastri Nagar, Sodala, Durgapura, Khatirpura, Jhotwara and Bani Park).9 These stores have been in business for an average of 10 years and had a median monthly revenue of INR 45,000. Most stores (99 percent) were owned by men; 87 percent was sole proprietorships while a smaller group (13 percent) was managed jointly with other family members. Sixty-five of them were already using a PoS or a card swipe machine and the remaining 344 merchants were given a demo on using a new PoS machine with the help of CATALYST’s FoS team.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=\"39426\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_column_text text_color=\"#757c74\" font_size=\"14px\" letter_spacing=\"\"]<em><sup>9</sup>This data set is separate from the earlier CNAS data.

However, 24 had changed their minds when the lender’s agent approached them after a week, perhaps because merchants are always interested in understanding options for credit but may not avail of it even if they express an interest initially.\r\n\r\nOne merchant who agreed to try the combination of a PoS device and loan had a fixed cloth store in Shastri Nagar market. He wanted a loan of INR 1-2 lakhs. Unfortunately, the request was denied since his residence was located outside the serviceable area set by the lender. This fact was discovered after the processing was done, and resulted in a poor customer experience for the merchant.\r\n\r\n<strong>Why was there a low uptake? </strong>\r\n\r\nThe experiment shows that while there was individual adoption of the card swipe machines, there was little uptake of the bundled product. Technology did seamlessly bind the products together but the communication to merchants was often unclear and did not explain how payment device usage would help them get a loan of higher amount in the future. The reasons this product could not cater to customer expectations or improve customer experience as expected are:\r\n\r\n<strong>Loan structure:</strong> While the lender assured the merchants of a credit-build-up model, the merchants were keen to understand the exact qualifiers for the build-up process, i.e., number and/or value of transactions required to qualify for the next tranche of loans. Additionally, they wanted to know by what percentage the loan amount could grow through increased usage of digital transactions. None of this information was provided to merchants since the lender had not yet thought it through. The product’s value proposition stated in one line by the lender as ‘enhanced loan size for incremental usage of digital payments’ failed to gain the merchants’ trust.\r\n\r\n<strong>Single interface for credit and digital payments:</strong> During the CATALYST pilot, the lending company and the digital payment solution company used two separate applications to onboard customers. For the merchants who saw the two as a single product, it was important for the digital payment solution provider and the lending partner to integrate their solution into one single application for simplicity and usage. The existing process offered poor customer experience because filling out two applications is a time-consuming process.\r\n\r\n<strong>Large time lags:</strong> Loan disbursal followed a lengthy process, i.e., lead generation by field agents (CATALYST FoS team) from an initial interaction, followed by a calling exercise by the credit assessor and then a site verification. This long time period between initial contact and disbursement was a pain point. Additionally, there were delays in disbursing the card swipe machine. Partnering with an early stage startup for PoS machines led to a resource crunch, which resulted in operational delays. The time lag between initial lead generation and delivery of the machine ranged from 15-20 days which was too long a time to retain interest.\r\n\r\n<strong>High cost of on boarding:</strong> The loan offer had a customer onboarding cost plus GST that hiked up the existing rates of interest by 3 to 4 percent so the lending interest rate worked out to be around 30 percent annually. These nuanced details deterred many of the merchants to finally take up the loan despite having shown an initial interest in the loan product.\r\n\r\n<strong>Short tenure of the pilot:</strong> Lastly, one must note that three or four months is too short a time to launch and iterate on a product bundle that includes a loan repayment timeline of nine to 36 months. To understand access and usage of repeat loans, the pilot experiment should essentially be of a much longer tenure.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"color\" bg_color=\"#373b3c\" padding_top=\"75\" padding_bottom=\"75\" inline_style=\"font-style: normal;\"][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=\"RECOMMENDATIONS\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:26px|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff|line_height:32px\" google_fonts=\"font_family:Roboto%20Condensed%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal\" letter_spacing=\"\" el_class=\"normal-style \"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"color\" bg_color=\"#ffffff\"][vc_column][vc_row_inner equal_height=\"yes\"][vc_column_inner el_class=\"normal-style\"][vc_column_text text_color=\"#383b3b\" font_size=\"16px\" letter_spacing=\"\" el_class=\"lh22 ptext-justify\"]<strong>Need for a local presence: </strong>An implementation challenge that needs to be addressed in order to iterate on the pilot experiment and help it succeed is decreasing the time lags between the first point of contact to in-person onboarding with the card swipe machine and the loan. To avoid such operational delays, it is advisable to work with a local company with a greater field presence than with a well-known company based out of another metropolis but with little field support, as was the case during this pilot. Otherwise, the card swipe company/loan company should partner with a channel partner that should be assigned locally to cover the high customer acquisition cost which must be incurred (by default) for wider reach and larger impact among the segment of merchants who are new to digital payment usage.\r\n\r\n<strong>Lower cost of product:</strong> If such loans could get priority sector lending status, obtaining funds would be easier for an NBFC, making access to credit easier and cheaper.\r\n\r\n<strong>Alternate digital payment solutions:</strong> Current credit products are more inclined towards PoS machine uptake and usage. However, given the rise in use of other digital payment modes such as Unified Payments Interface (UPI), e-wallets and other Aadhaar-based solutions could lead to faster and cheaper adoption among merchants.\r\n\r\n<strong>Simple product structure:</strong> As the pilot results suggest, clearly informing the merchants of the exact qualifying factors for incremental loans will help develop higher trust and better customer relationships for a credit-builder model.\r\n\r\n<strong>Provide digital training and awareness:</strong> Multiple field visits and available data on awareness of credit history or usage of digital payments suggest that small fixed store merchants need substantial handholding, training and awareness to understand fundamental financial concepts, the importance of formal loans, and use of credit history. The experiment results suggest that the small merchants would be better off with expert handholding support and training from their first point of contact, as they would be without operational delays. Further, digital training and awareness building must extend to consumers who shop at these merchant locations, since customer demand is a huge driver in merchant acceptance of digital solutions.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"color\" bg_color=\"#c9213b\" padding_top=\"75\" padding_bottom=\"75\" inline_style=\"font-style: normal;\"][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=\"CONCLUSION\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:26px|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff|line_height:32px\" google_fonts=\"font_family:Roboto%20Condensed%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal\" letter_spacing=\"\" el_class=\"normal-style \"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"color\" bg_color=\"#ffffff\"][vc_column][vc_row_inner equal_height=\"yes\"][vc_column_inner el_class=\"normal-style\"][vc_column_text text_color=\"#383b3b\" font_size=\"16px\" letter_spacing=\"\" el_class=\"lh22 ptext-justify\"]Credit can potentially act as a hook for usage of digital solutions, provided the effective costs are lower compared to credit from informal sources, and access is speedier. Merchants also need to be provided information on the clear pathway on increase in credit as they continue using the digital facilities. Lenders and payment service providers must present a unified front and offer a superior customer experience to the merchants.

According to an International Finance Corporation (IFC) report, the credit gap for informal enterprises within the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector in India was estimated at US$418 billion in 2012-13.<sup>4</sup> Underlying the gap in accessing formal credit is the story of missing applicant credit histories or other parameters of credit worthiness used in traditional appraisal processes by lenders.<sup>5</sup> Under such circumstances, most enterprises resort to informal lenders, despite the high interest rates charged. Reluctance to adopt digital payments further exacerbates this situation, since it is near impossible to convince lenders of credit worthiness in the face of missing information on credit and other transactional histories. Lack of awareness, low capability and unwillingness to try new technologies for fear of failure are some reasons that contribute to this wariness and create a vicious cycle that has been hard to break.\r\n\r\nCATALYST, in its drive to explore the digital readiness of this segment, hypothesized that providing access to a small amount of credit at lower rates could act as a hook for digital payment adoption and usage, which in turn could trigger a positive spiral to access higher amounts of credit. In a preliminary study to understand the financial behavior and borrowing pattern of small businesses, CATALYST conducted a Credit Needs Assessment Survey (CNAS) where 1,140 small fixed store merchants in Jaipur were interviewed in September 2017. The survey showed that 69 percent of the merchants sourced their credit from informal sources such as friends, family and local moneylenders. Merchants expressed dissatisfaction with local moneylenders because they charged an interest rate of over 30 percent per month. But they still tend to prefer informal lenders over formal ones because of ease of access, no requirement of lengthy documentation, and speedy processes.\r\n\r\nArmed with these insights, CATALYST launched the Credit as a Hook pilot in Jaipur in June 2018 for a select set of merchants. The pilot aimed to provide incremental loans through a starter-builder model starting with a small loan that would increase based on usage of digital payments, where the payment footprint would help merchants build their formal credit history. CATALYST hypothesized that, for the  merchants, this would result in larger loans over a period of time at better rates of interest. For lenders, the presence of a digital footprint would provide the means to underwrite loans better and allow them to acquire new customers (i.e., a set of small merchants that was hitherto unserved by formal financial institutions). The initial pre-assessment survey carried out prior to the product launch, CATALYST’s CNAS report, revealed that 92 percent merchants contacted during the survey was aware of digital payment solutions. Of these, 53.5 percent was interested in availing credit through a digital platform with an expectation of quick processing time.\r\n\r\nThe first challenge that CATALYST faced was to convince lenders to provide an initial loan, albeit small, in the absence of a digital payment history. Traditionally, the route to access credit has been via an established digital payment footprint because of the inherent difference in the way payment and credit operates. Payment systems work better when more people use them, and therefore are designed to be more inclusive in nature. Credit, on the other hand, is designed to hedge excessive risks, and therefore is harder to establish as the first step to financial inclusion of the underserved market segment with no credit history.\r\n\r\nA lending model is predicated on profits from taking calculated risks. So, lenders seek to build strong relationships with their customers and get a broad base of information to calculate the exact underlying risk. On the other hand, payment companies are inherently less dependent on understanding customer risk. Payment businesses therefore tend to be more transactional and less relationship-based than lending ones. The quality or depth of individual customer relationships matters less. Instead, the number and breadth of customers and their networks matter more.<sup>6</sup>\r\n\r\nUnderstanding these basic functions of payments and credit is critical to exploring how the two can be linked. Technology and access to customer data play a huge role in leveraging the payment and credit lens to achieve financial inclusion.\r\n\r\nThe CATALYST pilot aimed at precisely this understanding. How can we urge merchants to start using digital solutions, which in turn can help them access credit at better terms?\r\n\r\nWhile the merits of credit are known, research is beginning to show the advantages of digital credit as well. Early evidence from studying M-Shawri<sup>7</sup> in Kenya has shown that uptake of digital loans has helped improve household resilience against shocks and increased the propensity of families to spend on welfare activities such as health and education.<sup>8</sup> While we have little evidence available from similar experiments in India, we expect the positive benefits would be similar.\r\n\r\nWe hope that the following results of CATALYST’s Credit as a Hook pilot reveal the opportunities and challenges of launching a digital payment and loan product bundle for underserved informal sector merchants in India.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_color=\"#757c74\" font_size=\"14px\" letter_spacing=\"\"]<p><em><sup>1</sup>India’s $670 billion retail market is heading for a dream run, April 16, 2018, Quartz.</em></p>\r\n<p><em><sup>2</sup>Retail Transformation: Changing Your Performance Trajectory, BCG-CII National Retail Summit Report, 2016.</em></p>\r\n<p><em><sup>3</sup>Found: 111 million MSME workers in India as data rules changes, Livemint, November 22, 2017.</em></p>\r\n<p><em><sup>4</sup>MSME Finance Gap, Assessment of the shortfalls and opportunities in financing micro, small and medium enterprises in emerging markets, IFC, 2017.</em></p>\r\n<p><em><sup>5</sup>Research by Entrepreneurial Finance Lab, retrieved from The Hindu Business Line, ‘There is a credit gap of 56% in the MSME sector’, July 2, 2014</em></p>\r\n<p><em><sup>6</sup>Buckley, R. and I..Mas.

For the pilot, CATALYST partnered with Nupay, a Point of Sale (PoS) device or card swipe machine provider and an early stage startup, and Capital First, a Non Banking Financial Company (NBFC), which agreed to provide term loans to fixed store merchants in Jaipur. The combination of a payment device and loan was offered as a bundle, with the intention of testing the extent to which credit can act as a ‘hook’ to adopt and use digital payments. This combination was created for the purpose of the pilot alone since lenders are unclear of the risks involved in offering a small amount of credit, no matter how small, before they can establish credit history based on transactions on the device provided. Since the combination of partners was arranged by CATALYST for the pilot, CATALYST also had to provide a set of Feet on Street (FoS) for on-the-ground support to roll out the services. The FoS team, trained by CATALYST, provided support in marketing and customer acquisition.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Product bundle: Capital First and Nupay, a term loan with a card swipe machine</strong>\r\n\r\nProduct bundle details: Capital First (the lender) agreed to provide loans of a ticket size of INR 25,000 to INR 5 lakh at an interest rate of 18 percent to 24 percent annually for a tenure of nine months to 36 months, depending on the ticket size and repayment capacity.\r\n\r\nNupay’s card swipe machine had a monthly rental of INR 350 (~ US$5) plus 18 percent Goods and Service Tax (GST), which was also to be paid by merchants. The lender agreed that merchants would be considered for an incremental loan based on their repayment history observed in the first tranche of the loan, and their digital transaction footprint.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Project roll-out and findings: digital payment adoption vs. non-adoption</strong>\r\n\r\nDuring the pilot, CATALYST reached out to 409 fixed store merchants across six major markets in Jaipur (Shastri Nagar, Sodala, Durgapura, Khatirpura, Jhotwara and Bani Park).9 These stores have been in business for an average of 10 years and had a median monthly revenue of INR 45,000. Most stores (99 percent) were owned by men; 87 percent was sole proprietorships while a smaller group (13 percent) was managed jointly with other family members. Sixty-five of them were already using a PoS or a card swipe machine and the remaining 344 merchants were given a demo on using a new PoS machine with the help of CATALYST’s FoS team.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=\"39426\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_column_text text_color=\"#757c74\" font_size=\"14px\" letter_spacing=\"\"]<em><sup>9</sup>This data set is separate from the earlier CNAS data.

However, 24 had changed their minds when the lender’s agent approached them after a week, perhaps because merchants are always interested in understanding options for credit but may not avail of it even if they express an interest initially.\r\n\r\nOne merchant who agreed to try the combination of a PoS device and loan had a fixed cloth store in Shastri Nagar market. He wanted a loan of INR 1-2 lakhs. Unfortunately, the request was denied since his residence was located outside the serviceable area set by the lender. This fact was discovered after the processing was done, and resulted in a poor customer experience for the merchant.\r\n\r\n<strong>Why was there a low uptake? </strong>\r\n\r\nThe experiment shows that while there was individual adoption of the card swipe machines, there was little uptake of the bundled product. Technology did seamlessly bind the products together but the communication to merchants was often unclear and did not explain how payment device usage would help them get a loan of higher amount in the future. The reasons this product could not cater to customer expectations or improve customer experience as expected are:\r\n\r\n<strong>Loan structure:</strong> While the lender assured the merchants of a credit-build-up model, the merchants were keen to understand the exact qualifiers for the build-up process, i.e., number and/or value of transactions required to qualify for the next tranche of loans. Additionally, they wanted to know by what percentage the loan amount could grow through increased usage of digital transactions. None of this information was provided to merchants since the lender had not yet thought it through. The product’s value proposition stated in one line by the lender as ‘enhanced loan size for incremental usage of digital payments’ failed to gain the merchants’ trust.\r\n\r\n<strong>Single interface for credit and digital payments:</strong> During the CATALYST pilot, the lending company and the digital payment solution company used two separate applications to onboard customers. For the merchants who saw the two as a single product, it was important for the digital payment solution provider and the lending partner to integrate their solution into one single application for simplicity and usage. The existing process offered poor customer experience because filling out two applications is a time-consuming process.\r\n\r\n<strong>Large time lags:</strong> Loan disbursal followed a lengthy process, i.e., lead generation by field agents (CATALYST FoS team) from an initial interaction, followed by a calling exercise by the credit assessor and then a site verification. This long time period between initial contact and disbursement was a pain point. Additionally, there were delays in disbursing the card swipe machine. Partnering with an early stage startup for PoS machines led to a resource crunch, which resulted in operational delays. The time lag between initial lead generation and delivery of the machine ranged from 15-20 days which was too long a time to retain interest.\r\n\r\n<strong>High cost of on boarding:</strong> The loan offer had a customer onboarding cost plus GST that hiked up the existing rates of interest by 3 to 4 percent so the lending interest rate worked out to be around 30 percent annually. These nuanced details deterred many of the merchants to finally take up the loan despite having shown an initial interest in the loan product.\r\n\r\n<strong>Short tenure of the pilot:</strong> Lastly, one must note that three or four months is too short a time to launch and iterate on a product bundle that includes a loan repayment timeline of nine to 36 months. To understand access and usage of repeat loans, the pilot experiment should essentially be of a much longer tenure.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"color\" bg_color=\"#373b3c\" padding_top=\"75\" padding_bottom=\"75\" inline_style=\"font-style: normal;\"][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=\"RECOMMENDATIONS\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:26px|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff|line_height:32px\" google_fonts=\"font_family:Roboto%20Condensed%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal\" letter_spacing=\"\" el_class=\"normal-style \"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"color\" bg_color=\"#ffffff\"][vc_column][vc_row_inner equal_height=\"yes\"][vc_column_inner el_class=\"normal-style\"][vc_column_text text_color=\"#383b3b\" font_size=\"16px\" letter_spacing=\"\" el_class=\"lh22 ptext-justify\"]<strong>Need for a local presence: </strong>An implementation challenge that needs to be addressed in order to iterate on the pilot experiment and help it succeed is decreasing the time lags between the first point of contact to in-person onboarding with the card swipe machine and the loan. To avoid such operational delays, it is advisable to work with a local company with a greater field presence than with a well-known company based out of another metropolis but with little field support, as was the case during this pilot. Otherwise, the card swipe company/loan company should partner with a channel partner that should be assigned locally to cover the high customer acquisition cost which must be incurred (by default) for wider reach and larger impact among the segment of merchants who are new to digital payment usage.\r\n\r\n<strong>Lower cost of product:</strong> If such loans could get priority sector lending status, obtaining funds would be easier for an NBFC, making access to credit easier and cheaper.\r\n\r\n<strong>Alternate digital payment solutions:</strong> Current credit products are more inclined towards PoS machine uptake and usage. However, given the rise in use of other digital payment modes such as Unified Payments Interface (UPI), e-wallets and other Aadhaar-based solutions could lead to faster and cheaper adoption among merchants.\r\n\r\n<strong>Simple product structure:</strong> As the pilot results suggest, clearly informing the merchants of the exact qualifying factors for incremental loans will help develop higher trust and better customer relationships for a credit-builder model.\r\n\r\n<strong>Provide digital training and awareness:</strong> Multiple field visits and available data on awareness of credit history or usage of digital payments suggest that small fixed store merchants need substantial handholding, training and awareness to understand fundamental financial concepts, the importance of formal loans, and use of credit history. The experiment results suggest that the small merchants would be better off with expert handholding support and training from their first point of contact, as they would be without operational delays. Further, digital training and awareness building must extend to consumers who shop at these merchant locations, since customer demand is a huge driver in merchant acceptance of digital solutions.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"color\" bg_color=\"#c9213b\" padding_top=\"75\" padding_bottom=\"75\" inline_style=\"font-style: normal;\"][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=\"CONCLUSION\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:26px|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff|line_height:32px\" google_fonts=\"font_family:Roboto%20Condensed%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal\" letter_spacing=\"\" el_class=\"normal-style \"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"color\" bg_color=\"#ffffff\"][vc_column][vc_row_inner equal_height=\"yes\"][vc_column_inner el_class=\"normal-style\"][vc_column_text text_color=\"#383b3b\" font_size=\"16px\" letter_spacing=\"\" el_class=\"lh22 ptext-justify\"]Credit can potentially act as a hook for usage of digital solutions, provided the effective costs are lower compared to credit from informal sources, and access is speedier. Merchants also need to be provided information on the clear pathway on increase in credit as they continue using the digital facilities. Lenders and payment service providers must present a unified front and offer a superior customer experience to the merchants. Lastly, acceptance of new payment solutions requires end customers to be sensitized equally[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"color\" bg_color=\"#ffffff\"][vc_column][vc_column_text letter_spacing=\"\"]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #da092b;\">TECHNICAL WRITERS:</span> John Arun and Shubhranka Mondal</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #da092b;\">ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:</span> The authors would like to thank Jayshree Venkatesan for her expert advice, and CATALYST’s Feet on Street team, for their ground support</p>\r\n\r\n[/vc_column_text][kleo_button title=\"Download full report\" href=\"https://cashlesscatalyst.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/CH-Learning-Note.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" position=\"center\" size=\"lg\" type=\"boxed-icon\" special=\"no\" icon=\"download\" font_size=\"14px\" letter_spacing=\"\" el_class=\"pkirbtn\" icon_custom_background=\"#d11e3c\" icon_custom_text=\"#ffffff\"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_id=\"footer_area\" text_align=\"center\" type=\"image\" bg_position_horizontal=\"center\" enable_parallax=\"false\" padding_top=\"50px\" padding_bottom=\"50px\" bg_image=\"7886\"][vc_column width=\"1/4\"][/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1/2\" offset=\"vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-md-offset-0 vc_col-sm-offset-0\"][vc_single_image image=\"7888\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_column_text text_color=\"#ffffff\" font_size=\"14px\" letter_spacing=\"\" css=\".vc_custom_1484826151396{margin-top: 35px !important;margin-bottom: 5px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;}\"]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">CATALYST is an initiative seeded by an alliance between the Government of India &amp; USAID, to expand digital payments and financial inclusion in India, especially for small merchants and low-income consumers.</p>\r\n\r\n[/vc_column_text][kleo_gap][vc_column_text letter_spacing=\"\" css=\".vc_custom_1484051069491{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}\"]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[email-newsletter-plugin]</p>\r\n\r\n[/vc_column_text][kleo_icon icon=\"facebook\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/CashlessCatalyst/\" target=\"_blank\" padding=\"15px\" icon_color=\"#ffffff\"][kleo_icon icon=\"linkedin\" href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/company/13221050?trk=tyah&amp;trkInfo=clickedVertical%3Acompany%2CclickedEntityId%3A13221050%2Cidx%3A2-1-2%2CtarId%3A1476420479247%2Ctas%3Acashless%20catalyst\" target=\"_blank\" padding=\"15px\" icon_color=\"#ffffff\"][kleo_icon icon=\"twitter\" href=\"https://twitter.com/cashlesscatalys\" target=\"_blank\" padding=\"15px\" icon_color=\"#ffffff\"][kleo_icon icon=\"youtube-play\" href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChuc38_PfawDOu44IfYS4lw\" target=\"_blank\" padding=\"15px\" icon_color=\"#ffffff\"][/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1/4\"][/vc_column][/vc_row]', 'DIGITAL LENDING FOR SMALL MERCHANTS: THE MISSING ROAD TO THE LAST MILE', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '39421-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-11-20 09:38:22', '2018-11-20 09:38:22', '', 39421, 'https://cashlesscatalyst.org/media/39421-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

It requires multi-stakeholder coordination to understand ‘adoption and acceptance’ challenges, develop and optimize innovative solutions and business models, answer the key question for merchants and consumers (what’s in it for me?), and consider future actions. But, above all, there is a need to design an easy-to-use digital payments interface that can cater to the needs and financial capabilities of the last mile target population.\r\n\r\nCATALYST, as a multi-stakeholder initiative, followed an ecosystem approach to identify and operationalize business models relevant to the Jaipur market. We selected Jaipur as the target geography, given the existing infrastructure to support digital uptake such as availability of power supply, internet connectivity,  penetration of mobile phones, along with the general appetite and interest among locals to learn more about digital payments.\r\n\r\nIn recent times, the success of business models has been based on creating flexible value webs as opposed to static value chains. This means that the roles and responsibilities of players in the business model are not necessarily linear, rigid, and well-defined from the start, but evolve during the course of the engagement.\r\n\r\nWe took inputs and guidance from the Government of Rajasthan, private sector organizations such as banks, fintech solution partners, merchant community and their distributors, and consumer households. While creating a blueprint for business models for mass digital payments, we had to keep in mind the requirements and contributions of these stakeholders.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_single_image image=\"39376\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"image\" padding_top=\"50\" padding_bottom=\"50\"][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=\".vc_custom_1542359333513{border-bottom-width: 25px !important;}\"][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=\"Payment digitization: the business use case\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:26px|text_align:center|color:%23d11e3c|line_height:32px\" google_fonts=\"font_family:Roboto%20Condensed%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal\" css_animation=\"fadeIn\" letter_spacing=\"\"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=\"yes\" content_placement=\"top\" css=\".vc_custom_1542359399750{padding-top: 30px !important;}\"][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text text_color=\"#383b3b\" font_size=\"16px\" letter_spacing=\"\" el_class=\"ptext-justify lh22\"]As part of the value web of stakeholders contributing to widescale digital payment ecosystems, the solution provider who creates and runs the application should connect with both consumers and merchants. Secondly, the solution provider needs to achieve a critical mass of consumer uptake for the merchant to adopt the solution and, in turn, consumer uptake will be driven by merchant persuasion.  This dual edged sword makes it complicated for the solution provider to create a successful business model. There is also a need to match the business logic of the solution partner with that of other actors in the ecosystem who are key drivers of the model. Therefore, among the most important issues in creating sustainable business models in digital payment services is how to create value for consumers, and who to include in the value network.\r\n\r\nIn Jaipur, CATALYST helped solution partners to address these two major issues. We followed an ecosystem approach to support mechanisms such as creation of market linkages, governmental support, collection of ongoing field insights and advice on critical operational challenges. Following are the key questions that need to be answered to constitute a successful business model in mass digital payments based on our experience of working with solution partners on the ground in Jaipur since mid-2016:\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li><strong>Who is the user?</strong> <em>Identification of the target segment and creating a niche or a ‘one-size-fit-all’ solution and customizing to specific segments</em>: One can choose to follow either of these routes for market acquisition.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Can the user self-onboard?</strong> <em>Assisted do-it-yourself for the Indian context</em>: Not just the rural but the urban poor too need handholding support to embrace technical evolutions. A fully automated system will not work in the Indian context. The solution provider should engage the merchant as the assisting agent and the focal point to nudge consumer adoption.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>What are the hooks and ladders?</strong> <em>Levers to support scalability</em>: One thing that stood out from all our field insights is that digital payments alone cannot be a sustainable proposition. Alternate hooks such as credit, savings or incentives for uptake are necessary to encourage participation.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Where do we start?</strong> <em>B2B as a precursor to C2B</em>: Other very important drivers for merchants to volunteer to onboard consumers on digital payments are distributor buy-in and backing. A value proposition that has worked in different value chains such as FMCG, pharma and dairy in Jaipur is the digitization of B2B payments which invariably pushes the merchant to also encourage digital payments downwards in the value chain.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Why work with the government?</strong>  <em>Its blessing is an advantage if not a necessity</em>: It is clearly advantageous to have government support for the solution propagated. The best way to ensure that the ultimate consumer trusts the payment solution is if the government attests it.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>What is the value proposition?</strong> <em>Consumer and/or merchant needs to see the value</em>: Ultimately the consumer is king and needs to see value in the solution beyond the freebies provided.  Merchants, on the other hand, need to make business sense of the whole proposition and ensure that going digital is profitable in order to engage the consumers. The solution partner needs to continuously engage with the merchants to make sure they understand this value.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Who are the partners?</strong> <em>Alignment of stakeholders in the ‘value web’ is key for value creation and scalability</em>: All stakeholders need to be aligned to the central value proposition of the solution provider and there should be clarity on each stakeholder’s return on investment.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"image\" padding_top=\"50\" padding_bottom=\"50\" bg_image=\"7841\"][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=\".vc_custom_1542359342440{border-bottom-width: 25px !important;}\"][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=\"From the CATALYST Incubator program \" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:26px|text_align:center|color:%23d11e3c|line_height:32px\" google_fonts=\"font_family:Roboto%20Condensed%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal\" css_animation=\"fadeIn\" letter_spacing=\"\"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=\"yes\" content_placement=\"middle\" css=\".vc_custom_1542359410127{padding-top: 30px !important;}\"][vc_column_inner][vc_single_image image=\"39371\" img_size=\"large\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_column_text text_color=\"#383b3b\" font_size=\"16px\" letter_spacing=\"\" el_class=\"ptext-justify lh22\"]One of our partners in the Incubator program, PayNearby, has developed a full-fledged Aadhaar-based payment solution which converts any retail business into a micro ATM and payments solutions partner. While the primary earnings of the retailers come from the existing business, consumers are offered the option to make digital payments rather than pay in cash as they did traditionally.\r\n\r\nLet’s take the case of a photocopy shop. The primary income comes from photocopying and, possibly, a few add-on services such as binding, ticket booking, and so on. An additional service such as a digital payment solution, which has facilities like domestic money transfers, Aadhaar-based cash in and out, bills payments, etc., requires no major new infrastructure support (apart from a low cost biometric device which is provided free if a threshold of transactions are achieved) and can start within an hour of onboarding, facilitates extra income and converts merchants into Digital Pradhans.\r\n\r\nAnother case is that of our partner Fingpay which provides Aadhaar Enabled Payment Solutions (AEPS) for the last mile customer. It has successfully onboarded micro finance clients on its platform. In a typical scenario of a Microfinance Institution (MFI) model, borrowers, usually from joint liability groups or self-help groups, pay their monthly dues to the field agent in cash or through the group leader. However, with the Fingpay solution they will be able to transfer funds with just a biometric reading (AEPS). This use case has been the driver of this business case. While there are challenges due to connectivity and transaction failure, the value proposition considerably overrides the technical issues which are resolved due to measures undertaken by all stakeholders involved.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"image\" padding_top=\"50\" padding_bottom=\"50\"][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=\".vc_custom_1542359350051{border-bottom-width: 25px !important;}\"][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=\"The digital journey forward\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:26px|text_align:center|color:%23d11e3c|line_height:32px\" google_fonts=\"font_family:Roboto%20Condensed%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal\" css_animation=\"fadeIn\" letter_spacing=\"\"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=\"yes\" content_placement=\"middle\" css=\".vc_custom_1542359421165{padding-top: 30px !important;}\"][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text text_color=\"#383b3b\" font_size=\"16px\" letter_spacing=\"\" el_class=\"ptext-justify lh22\"]As we have observed from our field experiments, there are pertinent use cases whose relevance needs to be mapped, based on the target segments.

Although India’s urban population has an estimated total of 33,510 slums, great variability exists in legal status, deprivation, living condition, type of structure, etc. The inhabitants of these slums are the urban poor and remain outside the ambit of formal finance. Conventional finance so far has not been able to serve this last mile, keeping them excluded from the financial system. Uptake of digital payments can greatly benefit these last mile consumers by facilitating faster and simpler financial transactions, thereby connecting them to formal financial channels. Recognizing this potential, CATALYST launched its pilot project in Bhatta Basti, an urban slum located on the outskirts of Jaipur city, Rajasthan. A migrant settlement with a population of 45,000 people and 1,000 households, it is predominantly a Muslim community where most of the population has low educational achievement.\r\n\r\nOur baseline study in 2017 indicated that digital financial capability of slum dwellers in Bhatta Basti was significantly low. Thus, CATALYST experimented with a range of collaterals to promote digital financial inclusion in Bhatta Basti and attempted to understand people’s attitude and perceptions towards each of these media. One such attempt involved using illustrated comic books to spread awareness and encourage adoption of digital payment solutions among people. Past research in the field had indicated that comic books may be a successful medium for sensitization on a range of\r\nissues because they appeal to people from various age groups. A study on digital financial inclusion conducted by Institute for Financial Management and Research -Leveraging Evidence for Access and Development (IFMR LEAD) in Mumbai’s Dharavi slums in 2012 used comic books for disseminating important information. The learnings from this study helped us in establishing important guidelines for designing our comics and their stories.\r\n\r\nA significant learning from the Dharavi study was that it is important to customize the comic books to the target audience. Use of characters and scenarios similar to those seen by the target audience every day is crucial to enable them to form a connection between issues they face and benefits of adopting digital payments. There exists a huge gap in awareness and access to financial services between men and women in low-income clusters and using women as protagonists in the stories may be more effective to reach out and impact women in lowincome clusters.\r\n\r\nUsing this learning as a guideline, we created and distributed three comic books over the course of three months: one on Automated Teller Machine\r\n(ATM) pin generation; one on Aadhaar Enabled Payment System (AEPS); and one on Unified Payments Interface (UPI) payments. The comic books\r\non ATM pin generation and AEPS had women as the main characters while the one on UPI payments had male protagonists.\r\n\r\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"image\" bg_color=\"#c9213b\" enable_parallax=\"false\" padding_top=\"75\" padding_bottom=\"75\" inline_style=\"font-style: normal;\"][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=\"1.

Many\r\npeople who had received ATM cards from the banks were unaware of how to generate an ATM pin and how to use the card to withdraw money. Further, people in this community had various misconceptions regarding the safety of ATM cards; they had been victims of various frauds due to which they lacked trust in digital payment platforms. Thus, we decided to provide a detailed explanation on how to generate an ATM pin and keep the account safe in our first comic book. We created two versions: one for men and one for women. Insights from the Dharavi study indicated that women tend to relate more to a story when female protagonists are used. Since women were a major section of our target audience, we decided to create two versions. A sample of what the “ATM Pin Generation” comic looked like is provided below:\r\n\r\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=\".vc_custom_1547558063100{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}\"][vc_column_inner width=\"1/2\"][vc_single_image image=\"40029\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1/2\"][vc_single_image image=\"40030\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"color\" bg_color=\"#373b3c\" padding_top=\"75\" padding_bottom=\"75\" inline_style=\"font-style: normal;\"][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=\"2.

Since many people in Bhatta Basti faced problems related to access and usage of ATM cards, AEPS acted as a good alternative for enabling usage of digital payment solutions. AEPS allowed customers to pay by just scanning their fingerprint and thus was an easy solution for many people in Bhatta Basti who did not have access to ATM cards. One of our incubatees, Fingpay, worked on providing biometric devices to vegetable vendors and other small merchants and we distributed the comic books to the target audience to create awareness about these services. Since women formed a larger percentage of customers for these vendors, we decided to use female characters for our comics.\r\n\r\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1/6\"][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"2/3\"][vc_single_image image=\"39993\" img_size=\"746*526\" alignment=\"center\"][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1/6\"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"color\" bg_color=\"#c9213b\" padding_top=\"75\" padding_bottom=\"75\" inline_style=\"font-style: normal;\"][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=\"3.

This was mainly targeted at people towards the end of the digital payments user journey and sought to increase adoption and usage of UPI-based platforms such as PhonePe, Bhim UPI, WhatsApp payments, etc. The comic book contained step-by-step illustrations on how to register on such platforms and make transactions. It also focused on highlighting the advantages of using UPI, through a story format. Since our past research had indicated that the last stages of the digital payments user journeys in Bhatta Basti were male dominated, we decided to use male protagonists in this comic book. However, this learning cannot be universalized as selection of characters and stories should be context specific. Creating comic books to spread awareness should be grounded in the findings from that community.\r\n\r\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=\".vc_custom_1547558084322{padding-top: 25px !important;}\"][vc_column_inner width=\"1/2\"][vc_single_image image=\"39999\" img_size=\"728*520\" alignment=\"center\"][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1/2\"][vc_single_image image=\"40000\" img_size=\"727*520\" alignment=\"center\"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1/2\"][vc_single_image image=\"40001\" img_size=\"922*540\" alignment=\"center\"][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1/2\"][vc_single_image image=\"40002\" img_size=\"531*540\" alignment=\"center\"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"color\" bg_color=\"#373b3c\" padding_top=\"75\" padding_bottom=\"75\" inline_style=\"font-style: normal;\"][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=\"LEARNING AND FEEDBACK\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:26px|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff|line_height:32px\" google_fonts=\"font_family:Roboto%20Condensed%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal\" letter_spacing=\"\" el_class=\"normal-style \"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"color\" bg_color=\"#ffffff\"][vc_column][vc_row_inner equal_height=\"yes\"][vc_column_inner el_class=\"normal-style\"][vc_column_text text_color=\"#383b3b\" font_size=\"16px\" letter_spacing=\"\" el_class=\"lh22 ptext-justify\"]We also conducted a feedback exercise to understand people’s perception of the content and form of the UPI comic books. This was conducted over two days, in early November 2018, and aimed to understand how these collaterals can be improved to benefit people at different points of the user journey. We distributed the comic books to a sample of 20 people of varying age groups and financial literacy levels. On the first day, we carried out a dipstick survey to gather information on demographics and to gauge the audiences’ understanding of financial services. We followed this up with distribution of comic books. The next day, we collected feedback on the content and form of the collateral. While the period of research was too short and the sample size too small to gauge clear results and make generalized conclusions, we were still able to gather various interesting insights about the usage of comic books for promoting digital financial awareness in low-income clusters.\r\n\r\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_single_image image=\"40014\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"color\" bg_color=\"#c9213b\" padding_top=\"75\" padding_bottom=\"75\" inline_style=\"font-style: normal;\"][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=\"FINDINGS\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:26px|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff|line_height:32px\" google_fonts=\"font_family:Roboto%20Condensed%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal\" letter_spacing=\"\" el_class=\"normal-style \"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"color\" bg_color=\"#ffffff\"][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=\"Characteristics of the sample\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:26px|text_align:left|color:%23383b3b|line_height:32px\" google_fonts=\"font_family:Roboto%20Condensed%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal\" letter_spacing=\"\"][vc_row_inner equal_height=\"yes\"][vc_column_inner el_class=\"normal-style\"][vc_column_text text_color=\"#383b3b\" font_size=\"16px\" letter_spacing=\"\" el_class=\"lh22 ptext-justify\"]Forty-one percent of the sample was male, 59 percent was female and age of the respondents ranged from 14 to 61 years. More than half of the respondents had studied till class10. While almost 76 percent claimed to have bank accounts, only 41 percent had ATM cards and, even among those with ATM cards, 35 percent had been unsuccessful in generating an ATM pin. Thirty percent of the sample did not have access to smartphones or the internet which prevented them from accessing new digital payments services such as UPI. It was surprising to find that more than 80 percent of the respondents did not use an ATM card and less than 30 percent was actively making transactions using any digital method of payment. Awareness about UPI and other online method of payments was low and 47 percent claimed to have no knowledge whatsoever. Even among those who did, awareness was restricted to the benefits of using digital payment methods and a very small percentage was aware about usage of UPI-based apps.\r\n\r\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_custom_heading text=\"Insights\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:26px|text_align:left|color:%23383b3b|line_height:32px\" google_fonts=\"font_family:Roboto%20Condensed%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal\" letter_spacing=\"\"][vc_row_inner equal_height=\"yes\"][vc_column_inner el_class=\"normal-style\"][vc_column_text text_color=\"#383b3b\" font_size=\"16px\" letter_spacing=\"\" el_class=\"lh22 ptext-justify\"]Most people claimed to have easily understood the comic book and its contents. Those who didn’t were either illiterate or not involved in the process of making transactions from their bank accounts (someone else in the family was doing it for them). While the response was less positive among the elderly population, the comic books were fairly well received by school and college students, working youth and middle-aged people.\r\n\r\nThe respondents involved in the feedback exercise seemed to show a significant increase in their awareness of UPI. The majority claimed to have learnt about multiple topics such as benefits of digital payments, registration and usage of UPI due to the comic’s interactive and illustrative approach. Eighty eight percent of the sample said that they enjoyed reading the comic book and went through the entire document because of its ‘fun to read’ nature; almost half of the sample found it easy to read and follow. Children and youth, in particular, seemed to find the stories really interesting. Comic books, therefore, may be a successful way of reaching out to them especially while dealing with a serious topic such as financial inclusion.\r\n\r\nWe also received suggestions on the importance of using highly simplified language and short sentences in the comics. Featuring a higher number of illustrations and pictures and minimal text is important while communicating information on complex topics such as new financial services. Further, elucidating each and every single step for registering/making transactions is essential even if it results in a lengthier comic as it increases the chances of people taking action after reading the collateral.\r\n\r\nLastly, in communities such as Bhatta Basti where there are low levels of financial awareness and independence, comic books may be a costeffective solution for increasing adoption of digital payments. However, it is important to pinpoint the stage at which people are in their user journeys. Instead of creating and distributing comic books uniformly across the entire population, it may be more beneficial to customize these collaterals in such a way so that people at different stages of the user journey spectrum are able to use them to proceed step by step to the next level.\r\n\r\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"color\" bg_color=\"#ffffff\"][vc_column][kleo_button title=\"Download full report\" href=\"https://cashlesscatalyst.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Comic-learning-note-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" position=\"center\" size=\"lg\" type=\"boxed-icon\" special=\"no\" icon=\"download\" font_size=\"14px\" letter_spacing=\"\" el_class=\"pkirbtn\" icon_custom_background=\"#d11e3c\" icon_custom_text=\"#ffffff\"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_id=\"footer_area\" text_align=\"center\" type=\"image\" bg_position_horizontal=\"center\" enable_parallax=\"false\" padding_top=\"50px\" padding_bottom=\"50px\" bg_image=\"7886\"][vc_column width=\"1/4\"][/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1/2\" offset=\"vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-md-offset-0 vc_col-sm-offset-0\"][vc_single_image image=\"7888\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_column_text text_color=\"#ffffff\" font_size=\"14px\" letter_spacing=\"\" css=\".vc_custom_1484826151396{margin-top: 35px !important;margin-bottom: 5px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;}\"]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">CATALYST is an initiative seeded by an alliance between the Government of India &amp; USAID, to expand digital payments and financial inclusion in India, especially for small merchants and low-income consumers.</p>\r\n\r\n[/vc_column_text][kleo_gap][vc_column_text letter_spacing=\"\" css=\".vc_custom_1484051069491{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}\"]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[email-newsletter-plugin]</p>\r\n\r\n[/vc_column_text][kleo_icon icon=\"facebook\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/CashlessCatalyst/\" target=\"_blank\" padding=\"15px\" icon_color=\"#ffffff\"][kleo_icon icon=\"linkedin\" href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/company/13221050?trk=tyah&amp;trkInfo=clickedVertical%3Acompany%2CclickedEntityId%3A13221050%2Cidx%3A2-1-2%2CtarId%3A1476420479247%2Ctas%3Acashless%20catalyst\" target=\"_blank\" padding=\"15px\" icon_color=\"#ffffff\"][kleo_icon icon=\"twitter\" href=\"https://twitter.com/cashlesscatalys\" target=\"_blank\" padding=\"15px\" icon_color=\"#ffffff\"][kleo_icon icon=\"youtube-play\" href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChuc38_PfawDOu44IfYS4lw\" target=\"_blank\" padding=\"15px\" icon_color=\"#ffffff\"][/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1/4\"][/vc_column][/vc_row]', 'USING COMIC BOOKS TO INCREASE DIGITAL FINANCIAL CAPABILITIES IN LOW-INCOME CLUSTERS', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '39971-revision-v1', '', '', '2019-01-15 13:12:27', '2019-01-15 13:12:27', '', 39971, 'https://cashlesscatalyst.org/media/39971-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

Although India’s urban population has an estimated total of 33,510 slums, great variability exists in legal status, deprivation, living condition, type of structure, etc. The inhabitants of these slums are the urban poor and remain outside the ambit of formal finance. Conventional finance so far has not been able to serve this last mile, keeping them excluded from the financial system. Uptake of digital payments can greatly benefit these last mile consumers by facilitating faster and simpler financial transactions, thereby connecting them to formal financial channels. Recognizing this potential, CATALYST launched its pilot project in Bhatta Basti, an urban slum located on the outskirts of Jaipur city, Rajasthan. A migrant settlement with a population of 45,000 people and 1,000 households, it is predominantly a Muslim community where most of the population has low educational achievement.</p>\r\n<p>Our baseline study in 2017 indicated that digital financial capability of slum dwellers in Bhatta Basti was significantly low. Thus, CATALYST experimented with a range of collaterals to promote digital financial inclusion in Bhatta Basti and attempted to understand people’s attitude and perceptions towards each of these media. One such attempt involved using illustrated comic books to spread awareness and encourage adoption of digital payment solutions among people. Past research in the field had indicated that comic books may be a successful medium for sensitization on a range of\r\nissues because they appeal to people from various age groups. A study on digital financial inclusion conducted by Institute for Financial Management and Research -Leveraging Evidence for Access and Development (IFMR LEAD) in Mumbai’s Dharavi slums in 2012 used comic books for disseminating important information. The learnings from this study helped us in establishing important guidelines for designing our comics and their stories.</p>\r\n<p>A significant learning from the Dharavi study was that it is important to customize the comic books to the target audience. Use of characters and scenarios similar to those seen by the target audience every day is crucial to enable them to form a connection between issues they face and benefits of adopting digital payments. There exists a huge gap in awareness and access to financial services between men and women in low-income clusters and using women as protagonists in the stories may be more effective to reach out and impact women in lowincome clusters.</p>\r\n<p>Using this learning as a guideline, we created and distributed three comic books over the course of three months: one on Automated Teller Machine<br />\r\n(ATM) pin generation; one on Aadhaar Enabled Payment System (AEPS); and one on Unified Payments Interface (UPI) payments. The comic books<br />\r\non ATM pin generation and AEPS had women as the main characters while the one on UPI payments had male protagonists.</p>\r\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"image\" bg_color=\"#c9213b\" enable_parallax=\"false\" padding_top=\"75\" padding_bottom=\"75\" inline_style=\"font-style: normal;\"][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=\"1.

Many\r\npeople who had received ATM cards from the banks were unaware of how to generate an ATM pin and how to use the card to withdraw money. Further, people in this community had various misconceptions regarding the safety of ATM cards; they had been victims of various frauds due to which they lacked trust in digital payment platforms. Thus, we decided to provide a detailed explanation on how to generate an ATM pin and keep the account safe in our first comic book. We created two versions: one for men and one for women. Insights from the Dharavi study indicated that women tend to relate more to a story when female protagonists are used. Since women were a major section of our target audience, we decided to create two versions. A sample of what the “ATM Pin Generation” comic looked like is provided below:\r\n\r\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=\".vc_custom_1547558063100{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}\"][vc_column_inner width=\"1/2\"][vc_single_image image=\"40029\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1/2\"][vc_single_image image=\"40030\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"color\" bg_color=\"#373b3c\" padding_top=\"75\" padding_bottom=\"75\" inline_style=\"font-style: normal;\"][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=\"2.

Since many people in Bhatta Basti faced problems related to access and usage of ATM cards, AEPS acted as a good alternative for enabling usage of digital payment solutions. AEPS allowed customers to pay by just scanning their fingerprint and thus was an easy solution for many people in Bhatta Basti who did not have access to ATM cards. One of our incubatees, Fingpay, worked on providing biometric devices to vegetable vendors and other small merchants and we distributed the comic books to the target audience to create awareness about these services. Since women formed a larger percentage of customers for these vendors, we decided to use female characters for our comics.\r\n\r\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1/6\"][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"2/3\"][vc_single_image image=\"39993\" img_size=\"746*526\" alignment=\"center\"][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1/6\"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"color\" bg_color=\"#c9213b\" padding_top=\"75\" padding_bottom=\"75\" inline_style=\"font-style: normal;\"][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=\"3.

This was mainly targeted at people towards the end of the digital payments user journey and sought to increase adoption and usage of UPI-based platforms such as PhonePe, Bhim UPI, WhatsApp payments, etc. The comic book contained step-by-step illustrations on how to register on such platforms and make transactions. It also focused on highlighting the advantages of using UPI, through a story format. Since our past research had indicated that the last stages of the digital payments user journeys in Bhatta Basti were male dominated, we decided to use male protagonists in this comic book. However, this learning cannot be universalized as selection of characters and stories should be context specific. Creating comic books to spread awareness should be grounded in the findings from that community.\r\n\r\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=\".vc_custom_1547558084322{padding-top: 25px !important;}\"][vc_column_inner width=\"1/2\"][vc_single_image image=\"39999\" img_size=\"728*520\" alignment=\"center\"][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1/2\"][vc_single_image image=\"40000\" img_size=\"727*520\" alignment=\"center\"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1/2\"][vc_single_image image=\"40001\" img_size=\"922*540\" alignment=\"center\"][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1/2\"][vc_single_image image=\"40002\" img_size=\"531*540\" alignment=\"center\"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"color\" bg_color=\"#373b3c\" padding_top=\"75\" padding_bottom=\"75\" inline_style=\"font-style: normal;\"][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=\"LEARNING AND FEEDBACK\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:26px|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff|line_height:32px\" google_fonts=\"font_family:Roboto%20Condensed%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal\" letter_spacing=\"\" el_class=\"normal-style \"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"color\" bg_color=\"#ffffff\"][vc_column][vc_row_inner equal_height=\"yes\"][vc_column_inner el_class=\"normal-style\"][vc_column_text text_color=\"#383b3b\" font_size=\"16px\" letter_spacing=\"\" el_class=\"lh22 ptext-justify\"]We also conducted a feedback exercise to understand people’s perception of the content and form of the UPI comic books. This was conducted over two days, in early November 2018, and aimed to understand how these collaterals can be improved to benefit people at different points of the user journey. We distributed the comic books to a sample of 20 people of varying age groups and financial literacy levels. On the first day, we carried out a dipstick survey to gather information on demographics and to gauge the audiences’ understanding of financial services. We followed this up with distribution of comic books. The next day, we collected feedback on the content and form of the collateral. While the period of research was too short and the sample size too small to gauge clear results and make generalized conclusions, we were still able to gather various interesting insights about the usage of comic books for promoting digital financial awareness in low-income clusters.\r\n\r\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_single_image image=\"40014\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"color\" bg_color=\"#c9213b\" padding_top=\"75\" padding_bottom=\"75\" inline_style=\"font-style: normal;\"][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=\"FINDINGS\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:26px|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff|line_height:32px\" google_fonts=\"font_family:Roboto%20Condensed%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal\" letter_spacing=\"\" el_class=\"normal-style \"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"color\" bg_color=\"#ffffff\"][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=\"Characteristics of the sample\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:26px|text_align:left|color:%23383b3b|line_height:32px\" google_fonts=\"font_family:Roboto%20Condensed%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal\" letter_spacing=\"\"][vc_row_inner equal_height=\"yes\"][vc_column_inner el_class=\"normal-style\"][vc_column_text text_color=\"#383b3b\" font_size=\"16px\" letter_spacing=\"\" el_class=\"lh22 ptext-justify\"]Forty-one percent of the sample was male, 59 percent was female and age of the respondents ranged from 14 to 61 years. More than half of the respondents had studied till class10. While almost 76 percent claimed to have bank accounts, only 41 percent had ATM cards and, even among those with ATM cards, 35 percent had been unsuccessful in generating an ATM pin. Thirty percent of the sample did not have access to smartphones or the internet which prevented them from accessing new digital payments services such as UPI. It was surprising to find that more than 80 percent of the respondents did not use an ATM card and less than 30 percent was actively making transactions using any digital method of payment. Awareness about UPI and other online method of payments was low and 47 percent claimed to have no knowledge whatsoever. Even among those who did, awareness was restricted to the benefits of using digital payment methods and a very small percentage was aware about usage of UPI-based apps.\r\n\r\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_custom_heading text=\"Insights\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:26px|text_align:left|color:%23383b3b|line_height:32px\" google_fonts=\"font_family:Roboto%20Condensed%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal\" letter_spacing=\"\"][vc_row_inner equal_height=\"yes\"][vc_column_inner el_class=\"normal-style\"][vc_column_text text_color=\"#383b3b\" font_size=\"16px\" letter_spacing=\"\" el_class=\"lh22 ptext-justify\"]Most people claimed to have easily understood the comic book and its contents. Those who didn’t were either illiterate or not involved in the process of making transactions from their bank accounts (someone else in the family was doing it for them). While the response was less positive among the elderly population, the comic books were fairly well received by school and college students, working youth and middle-aged people.\r\n\r\nThe respondents involved in the feedback exercise seemed to show a significant increase in their awareness of UPI. The majority claimed to have learnt about multiple topics such as benefits of digital payments, registration and usage of UPI due to the comic’s interactive and illustrative approach. Eighty eight percent of the sample said that they enjoyed reading the comic book and went through the entire document because of its ‘fun to read’ nature; almost half of the sample found it easy to read and follow. Children and youth, in particular, seemed to find the stories really interesting. Comic books, therefore, may be a successful way of reaching out to them especially while dealing with a serious topic such as financial inclusion.\r\n\r\nWe also received suggestions on the importance of using highly simplified language and short sentences in the comics. Featuring a higher number of illustrations and pictures and minimal text is important while communicating information on complex topics such as new financial services. Further, elucidating each and every single step for registering/making transactions is essential even if it results in a lengthier comic as it increases the chances of people taking action after reading the collateral.\r\n\r\nLastly, in communities such as Bhatta Basti where there are low levels of financial awareness and independence, comic books may be a costeffective solution for increasing adoption of digital payments. However, it is important to pinpoint the stage at which people are in their user journeys. Instead of creating and distributing comic books uniformly across the entire population, it may be more beneficial to customize these collaterals in such a way so that people at different stages of the user journey spectrum are able to use them to proceed step by step to the next level.\r\n\r\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"color\" bg_color=\"#ffffff\"][vc_column][kleo_button title=\"Download full report\" href=\"https://cashlesscatalyst.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Comic-learning-note-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" position=\"center\" size=\"lg\" type=\"boxed-icon\" special=\"no\" icon=\"download\" font_size=\"14px\" letter_spacing=\"\" el_class=\"pkirbtn\" icon_custom_background=\"#d11e3c\" icon_custom_text=\"#ffffff\"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_id=\"footer_area\" text_align=\"center\" type=\"image\" bg_position_horizontal=\"center\" enable_parallax=\"false\" padding_top=\"50px\" padding_bottom=\"50px\" bg_image=\"7886\"][vc_column width=\"1/4\"][/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1/2\" offset=\"vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-md-offset-0 vc_col-sm-offset-0\"][vc_single_image image=\"7888\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_column_text text_color=\"#ffffff\" font_size=\"14px\" letter_spacing=\"\" css=\".vc_custom_1484826151396{margin-top: 35px !important;margin-bottom: 5px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;}\"]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">CATALYST is an initiative seeded by an alliance between the Government of India &amp; USAID, to expand digital payments and financial inclusion in India, especially for small merchants and low-income consumers.</p>\r\n\r\n[/vc_column_text][kleo_gap][vc_column_text letter_spacing=\"\" css=\".vc_custom_1484051069491{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}\"]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[email-newsletter-plugin]</p>\r\n\r\n[/vc_column_text][kleo_icon icon=\"facebook\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/CashlessCatalyst/\" target=\"_blank\" padding=\"15px\" icon_color=\"#ffffff\"][kleo_icon icon=\"linkedin\" href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/company/13221050?trk=tyah&amp;trkInfo=clickedVertical%3Acompany%2CclickedEntityId%3A13221050%2Cidx%3A2-1-2%2CtarId%3A1476420479247%2Ctas%3Acashless%20catalyst\" target=\"_blank\" padding=\"15px\" icon_color=\"#ffffff\"][kleo_icon icon=\"twitter\" href=\"https://twitter.com/cashlesscatalys\" target=\"_blank\" padding=\"15px\" icon_color=\"#ffffff\"][kleo_icon icon=\"youtube-play\" href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChuc38_PfawDOu44IfYS4lw\" target=\"_blank\" padding=\"15px\" icon_color=\"#ffffff\"][/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1/4\"][/vc_column][/vc_row]', 'USING COMIC BOOKS TO INCREASE DIGITAL FINANCIAL CAPABILITIES IN LOW-INCOME CLUSTERS', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '39971-revision-v1', '', '', '2019-01-15 13:13:34', '2019-01-15 13:13:34', '', 39971, 'https://cashlesscatalyst.org/media/39971-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

Innovations in both digital products and mechanisms to distribute them are needed. There also remains scope to build deeper and more targeted workflows on top of an increasingly commoditized transaction layer.

The program provided these companies with financial, technical and operational support, and integrated their work into its \'Digital Payment Lab\' in Jaipur.</p>\r\n<p>This session will present the five unique companies that participated in the first batch of this program, highlighting the opportunities and barriers associated with addressing the needs of this segment.

Innovations in both digital products and mechanisms to distribute them are needed. There also remains scope to build deeper and more targeted workflows on top of an increasingly commoditized transaction layer. These software, hardware or, in certain cases, operational solutions can generate tangible and immediate value to users – be it through analytics, access to financing, new revenue generating opportunities, or streamlined business processes.</p>\r\n<p>As part of its mission to identify sustainable templates for small business ecosystems to access the benefits of digital finance, CATALYST set up a pioneering incubator program to promote companies that have reimagined financial solutions for the underserved. The program provided these companies with financial, technical and operational support, and integrated their work into its \'Digital Payment Lab\' in Jaipur.</p>\r\n<p>This session will present the five unique companies that participated in the first batch of this program, highlighting the opportunities and barriers associated with addressing the needs of this segment.

It covered series of interventions undertaken by CATALYST in Jaipur across the low-income ecosystems to understand the opportunities for digitizing payments.</p>\r\n<p>While digital finance has increased significantly in India in recent years, there exist significant gaps in reaching out to the last mile. Micro-merchants and low-income households, in particular, remain an under-served segment in digital finance. Building on a set of experiments facilitated by CATALYST in Jaipur, the discussions provided insights for solution frameworks and business models by implementing a learning-by-doing approach. The speakers presented major insights from four types of business models:</p>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li>Distributors and their merchant networks in dairy, pharmaceutical, and FMCG supply chains</li>\r\n<li>Low-income households in urban slums,</li>\r\n<li>Payment collections for subscription-based services, and</li>\r\n<li>Fixed store kirana merchants</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<p>The session brought together practitioners, policy influencers, and financial service providers.
