Non-Bank Financial Institutions

Our Role: Non-bank financial institutions, such as insurance companies, mortgage providers, and pension funds, are critically important for mobilizing savings and providing market-based safety nets. Our team aims to promote the healthy development of these markets and expand access to a broad spectrum of financial services among the poor. These markets provide opportunities for household investment and long-term savings, and can buffer the poor against the risks of sickness, loss of breadwinner, catastrophic events, and other misfortunes.
