The key feature of the mission-driven, microfinance banks that I am most impressed with is the intrinsic blended value of the loan itself.
When the banks' profits are directly tied to the success of the borrowers. They recognize the value that the borrowers bring to the business relationship, and do not view them purely as customers. By turning borrowers into stakeholders, and encouraging their participation in the companies' decisions about lending practices, they are demonstrating true commitment to social ownership and their social mission.
Ok, back to work...
