Letter From FINCA Bank Georgia CEO

Vusal VerdiyevCEO, FINCA Bank Georgia

Dear friends and colleague,

Looking back to 3 years from now, when FINCA Georgia received a banking license, now we can proudly announce that the long and challenging banking transformation process is successfully finished and we move forward to further progress our business in the country and launch strategic projects to increase our impact on the lives and welfare of people we serve for more than 18 years.

In 2016 scale of our products and services was significantly increased and now we can offer full-fledged banking services, including internet bank and mobile bank, telephone banking and visa cards to clients reaching more potential customers in all regions of the country. Client service processes were profoundly improved and well-tuned to match business and customer needs, so that it will definitely have positive effect on overall performance of the institution.

FINCA Bank continues to be loyal to its mission to render responsible banking services to its customers. We are true to our strong commitment of responsible banking and care for well-being of our clients. This independent validation lends credibility to our strict internal standards and policies and our credo to al-ways treat our clients fairly and ethically. The sign of it is Smart Certificate. We all together achieved one of the most important milestones of 2016 and have been awarded a SMART Certificate, the adoption of high ethical standards in the treatment of clients. FINCA Bank Georgia became the first SMART certified financial institution in the country. Considering this the business of the future will further prosper based on quality of service delivered to customers.

In terms of achievements in CSR, it should be noted that it is of paramount importance for FINCA Bank Georgia to foster increase of financial literacy level in the country through various initiatives and activities. A special book was developed for schoolchildren to raise awareness and educate children on importance of savings, financial terms and concepts. “My School Book” created and published by FINCA bank reached more than 10 000 kids in all parts of the country.

The complex transformation process had its direct reflection and we are proud of our staff that share insti-tutional values and demonstrate strong commitment to our mission and vision. Everything starts from our employees. We fully understand that success is the merit of the hard and dedicated work of each and every employee of FINCA Bank Georgia, and we will further invest in and focus more on development of our staff to ensure that our clients get the best services via various touch points and channels through which FINCA Bank Georgia operates.

“ In 2016 scale of our products and services was significantly increased and now we can offer full-fledged banking services, including internet bank and mobile bank, telephone banking and visa cards to clients reaching more potential customers in all regions of the country”

2 2016 FINCA INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL REPORT 3CREATING RIPPLES

But experience has shown that FINCA’s impact does not end with a small loan. Each loan is just the beginning of economic participation for women, the economically disenfranchised and people living in remote, rural villages. When a family’s income rises, it means that children can stay in school, not simply to become literate, but to become skilled laborers, teachers, physicians or the next generation of business owners.

FINCA clients point proudly to these children, who not only change their families when they grow up, but change the future of communities and, in fact, can change the course of countries.

Together, FINCA and our loan recipients are a part of something astounding. We are bettering communities around the world and breaking down the historical and vicious cycle of intergenerational poverty.

Each loan creates ripples of impact. The ripples extend from the Haitian mother’s small loan that allowed her to grow her small business, to the villagers who work for that business, to her daughter who can now a�ord to go past high school and into a local college, to the community that bene�ts from the more prosperous business and family.

With your support, we have created these ripples together. Now, we are committed to expanding our social impact by creating ripples of a di�erent kind. Low-income communities not only need access to �nancial services, but they have a right to a�ordable and innovative solutions, like clean cookstoves, water �lters and solar lanterns, that save them time and money and make them healthier, more resilient and empowered. In 2016, we helped thousands in Uganda achieve a better quality of life by providing them access to these household solutions.

Despite our achievements, 2016 was a challenging year for FINCA. Part of the risk inherent in working in emerging markets is navigating political and economic uncertainties, and this year saw no shortage of them. Economic hardship in Azerbaijan, in particular, and the rest of Eurasia, related to fallen oil prices and currency devaluations in 2015, continued to make life challenging for many micro and small enterprises in that region. We took signi�cant losses there in 2016 as a result. FINCA has weathered such situations before and we can con�dently say that we have come through the worst of it. More than anything, this reinforces why people in challenging places need us, and why we must redouble our e�orts to keep reaching those who are overlooked or forgotten by mainstream banks.

We also must continue to focus our resources where we can have the greatest impact. As part of this e�ort, in 2016 we transferred our FINCA subsidiaries in El Salvador and Mexico to local, mission-driven organizations that share our commitment to delivering responsible �nancial services. For our hardworking sta� and clients in these countries, this is an opportunity to continue to grow under local leadership with companies that are also striving to reach low-income women and men. These changes have also helped FINCA to invest in innovative new solutions and scale up in communities and markets where we can reach more people.

Your role in bringing responsible �nancial services and other smart solutions to the poor is more crucial than ever. Donor support is the reason FINCA exists. Your trust in us has created the building blocks for growth and innovation. With that in mind, we ask you two simple questions: What will it take to create more ripples? What will it take to multiply the ripple e�ect across more communities for more people and more generations?

In any pond, a new ripple starts with dropping the �rst stone. At FINCA, each ripple represents the start of a brighter future. To increase impact, we must create more ripples. To create more ripples, we need more stones. We need you.

Together, we can alleviate poverty through lasting solutions that help people achieve self-reliance and change the future for generations to come.

preneurship in Georgia and Azerbaijan,” said Rainer

On 31st of October – on World Savings Day FINCA

Bank Georgia launched a new interactive book for

schoolchildren – “My School Book”. The book con-

tent is designed for children from 7 to 14 and the

focus is made on the promotion of financial literacy

and business skills development. The book covers

topics like: what is money? Why do we save? And

offers stories of successful businessmen recipes for

business, quizzes and more!

The project is really unique and interesting. Re-

search shows that savings behavior is formed from

the very early age. As financial inclusion, financial

capability and sustainable livelihoods are essential

components of full economic citizenship, educa-

tional components like this are very important to

ensure that children from a very early age are well

equipped with the basics of financial literacy. FINCA

Bank is a pioneer in this very important field of mak-

ing this kind interactive content for children.

The content and design of the book was created

together with creative agency Windfor’s Commu-

nication. Fun and colorful illustrations help kids to

understand the main topics of the book and makes

it easy to remember. The content is created to en-

courage interaction with classmates who will make

projects together as a group.

As there are a lot fun tasks and quizzes in the book,

children can contact us to share their opinion and

thoughts through a special e-mail. There will be

special prizes and awards for the most active and

creative children.

The book was sent to FINCA Bank employees and their kids took the book to their schools so that more than 10 000 children in almost all regions of the country had access to the book, learnt the basics of financial literacy and had fun.
