Summary of Event:
The MFNT Summit aims to be an international forum for decision-makers in the technology and microfinance fields.

The theme of the Second MFNT Summit is encapsulated in the following question, “which models are best placed to increase access to financial services for the unbanked?” The Summit will also cover the following subjects:
– Which management information systems for microfinance?
– What technological solutions are available to improve microfinance institutions’ performance?
– Mobile banking and microfinance: what is the most efficient use?
