FinMark Trust is an independent non-profit trust with the purpose of making financial markets work for people in poverty by promoting financial inclusion and regional financial integration. We pursue our core objective of making financial markets work for people living in poverty through two principal programmes. The first happens through the creation and analysis of financial services demand-side data to provide in-depth insights on both served and unserved consumers across the developing world. The second is through systematic financial sector inclusion and deepening programmes to overcome regulatory, supplier and other market-level barriers hampering the effective provision of services.
Through a symbiotic relationship between rigorous data collection and research activities, these programmes unlock financial and economic inclusion. Our work in data supports a global agenda, with focus being placed in the SADC region on the programmatic work.
FinMark Trust’s mission of making financial markets work for people in poverty extends to ensuring economic inclusivity and linking financial inclusion to the real economy. This renewed focus on building inclusive financial sectors for individuals, MSMEs and small-scale farmers is robust and supported within the organisation’s development framework.
Regionally, FinMark Trust works closely with key stakeholders which include the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the SADC Banking Association (SADC BA) and the Committee of Central Bank Governors in SADC (CCBG). At the country level, engagement with key partners includes Central Banks, Ministries of Finance, Ministries of SMME, Treasury Departments and National Statistics Officers.
FinMark Trust’s strategic priorities are organised into five key priority areas and supported by four cross-cutting priorities. Each of the areas are important for the organisation to achieve its objectives, and to meet stakeholder expectations. Individual projects must contribute to at least one of these areas, and at times to more than one strategic or cross-cutting priority.
FinMark Trust is anchored in the SADC region. Our work in data supports a global agenda, with focus being placed in the region on the programmatic work.
