Presenting New Resources and Tools to Unleash SME Banking: The INVEST Toolkit - Powered by ConsumerCentriX
Add to calendar
About This Session
SMEs create growth and jobs, and financing them is core business for banks, yet banks leave an estimated $5.7 trillion in SME financing needs unmet. The INVEST SME Banking toolkit was designed to provide practical tools that help banks and other financial sector actors better understand and meet SME needs to fill that gap. INVEST, launched in 2025 by the Argidius Foundation, ConsumerCentriX and partners, takes a bank from market research and diagnostic, through pilot and refinement, to rollout of an SME banking model.
This session brings together bank, philanthropic and development finance leaders and practitioners to explore:
• How the INVEST SME Banking toolkit helps banks, funders and other ecosystem actors build larger and more inclusive SME portfolios, including for women-owned and women-led SMEs
• The practical tools in the INVEST toolkit to size the market, segment clients, assess bank readiness, build the business case and track portfolio performance
• How different actors have applied the process and tools, and what they have learned
