ManCapital, one of the leading micro finance institutions operating in the country is poised to provide first class service to its customers.
This comes in a wake when company last week received its final license, after it has met the Central Bank’s needed requirements.
Some of the requirements include submission of prudential returns, compliance with the limits on deposits and loans, and prior approval by the Bank of Ghana before the introduction of new products onto the market, among others.
According to the Chief Executive Officer of ManCapital, Michael Allan Asare, the company will embark on a massive expansion drive, introduce new products on the market as well as satisfy the needs of customers.
He said the company will provide first class service as well as introducing various strategies to increase its clientele base.
ManCapital was among some 90 micro- finance companies that received their final license last week, after the Central Bank has issued provisional license to 249 companies.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Philip Cobbinah, Deputy Head of the Banking Supervision Department of Bank of Ghana, reminded the successful institutions that the handing over of the licenses came with obligations that must be met.
Mr. Cobbinah warned that the institutions would be fined GH¢12,000 and also risked withdrawal of their licenses on infringement of any of the regulations.
He said while the Bank of Ghana knew that Micro-finance regulation was not going to be a simple process because of the varied array of institutions, there was the need for the parties to help in protecting customers in their effort to maximize profits so as to provide meaningful microfinance services to the poor.
Mr Cobbinah expressed the hope that the partnership would help in the fight against poverty and speed up the pace of economic growth and development.
Mr Kwame Sarpong Osei-Bonsu, Assistant Director of Banking Supervision Department, said the Bank of Ghana was helping the microfinance institutions to enhance their systems and improve corporate governance.
He said while record keeping and controls systems were weak in most of the microfinance institutions, the Bank of Ghana was offering trainings to address the capacity needs as well as stepping up off and on-site supervision to ensure that the institutions operated within the law.
Mr Osei-Bonsu, who is also head of the Non-Deposit Taking (NDT) and Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs) at the Bank of Ghana (BOG), said the 90 institutions given their final licenses had gone through rigorous approval processes and would be constantly monitored to ensure that their operations were in line with regulations to enhance service delivery and safeguard the public interest.
