Case Study: National Bank of Vanuatu

Client Profile

Many rural households in Vanuatu are without access to secure and convenient financial services. In some remote areas, government workers and teachers who receive salary payments into their bank accounts must make expensive, time-consuming trips to the nearest NBV branch to collect their money.

Local farmers have resorted to burying their money in ‘Milo’ tins in the ground, rather than face long trips to town to deposit money.

To make banking easier for rural communities, the National Bank of Vanuatu has developed an e-Banking Project using solar power and data communication through the nation's mobile GSM network.
