Typically, financial institutions have not been to reach rural consumers with customised offerings due to multiple limitations.
Rural markets operate very differently from urban markets. While the government and RBI have created an ecosystem promoting rural finance, traditional financial brands are yet to capture this market fully. There are multiple challenges:
Ineffective Mediums Used to Educate consumer about Financial Products & Services.
The approach of typical finance brands is branch centric situated in towns and small cities, with different branches for different products.
Financial brands find it difficult to get security and trust rural consumers. There is also resistance to digitization and need for extensive documentation.
Accessibility is usually limited with branch locations beyond 30-40 kms. There is a lack of use of technology.
The cost of operations and servicing rural consumers are not usually in favour of brands. Overall, the finance brand treats it as a low-gain market.
