Open Ended Question 11: Financial Inclusion etc.: If your organization feels this issue is important, what are the perceived needs and their potential solutions? Programs to promote bureaus as a positive force in the economy and a credit file as an enabler of • financial freedom SME Financial inclusion guideline and practice Consumer financial inclusion guideline and • practice Financial Literacy for Consumer and SME Needs: -understand the roles and concrete tasks credit bureau can function in consumer • Education/ Financial Literacy. Solution: - learn the current industry practices in the world and organize related communication activities among credit bureaus in the region. On going education, sustained efforts • Education empowers the consumer Education relaxes regulators Education makes banks and • financial institutions and other credit grantors to act responsibly Creating positive public opinion about the credit bureau and role it plays is vitally important. • Negative perception that had been created over a long period has cost a lot in terms of bureau development particular in introducing new products and services for its users. Lenders use credit bureau as a tool in credit and recovery management which set ground for general public to have adverse perception about it. Local market oriented community focused awareness and public outreach strategy (something similar to Schufa has presented) would be of use to overcome this situation. I think the key is to establish a comprehensive and holistic consumer education plan and also • how to deliver the plan to the market. It will be a journey and investment. Awareness campaigns. • More educational marketing • Consumers & SMEs need to be educated in managing credit and the importance of developing & • maintaining a good credit rating. Members support in relation to benefit analysis and passing on information to borrowers. • Promote industry standards and values Help consumers to manage finances • 13
