White Paper (2020) — Inclusive Fintech 50 https://t.co/DV0vfLz9Zx

[Cerise+SPTF @CeriseSptf]

We need to think: what do humans do best, and what does technology do best? The vast majority of customers want a mix of both, rather than a purely digital experience - Alexis Beggs Olsen, @CFI_Accion #CustomerCentricity #SPTF2018

[Cerise+SPTF @CeriseSptf]

Client centricity means a lot of things: understanding clients, listening to clients, learning from clients, and observing client behavior. - Isabelle Barres, Smart Campaign @SmartCampaign_ @isabellebarres #SPTF2018 #CustomerCentricity

Agree! Chuck, hope to see you back among those of us who refuse to give up! #mfichat

[Deborah Drake @ddrake_drake]

Depends what you mean by strict. Regulation and regulators are part of every IPO. #mfichat

[Deborah Drake @ddrake_drake]

Chuck, I think one could say that about impact investors but that's another twitter conversation! #mfichat

[Deborah Drake @ddrake_drake]

Agree, Chuck, that there were perhaps unintended consequences but as Grassroots states, we can hope that lessons have been learned #mfichat

[Deborah Drake @ddrake_drake]

.@grassrootscap I agree one of the objectives, stated or not, of Comparto IPO was to prove microfinance could be commercial +social #mfichat

[Deborah Drake @ddrake_drake]

A5. I would add that the social mission discussion must be embedded in the agenda of every board meeting. Social Performance Comm? #mfichat

[Deborah Drake @ddrake_drake]

A4 I agree with you @chuckwaterfield that the proof is in the pudding. I would like to know how services have improved post IPO#mfichat

[Deborah Drake @ddrake_drake]

A4. I think it would be interesting to know what market development the milestone has resulted in. What kind of new services? #mfichat

[Deborah Drake @ddrake_drake]

A4. It is certainly a milestone. Not sure about the appropriate. #mfichat

[Deborah Drake @ddrake_drake]

A3. I definitely agree consumer protection is key for regulators to watch but why should MFI IPOs be any different than any other #mfichat

[Deborah Drake @ddrake_drake]

A2. Very true, Daniel, which shows how important the role of advisor to the MFI planning an IPO is. #mfichat

[Deborah Drake @ddrake_drake]

A2. That is true, Chuck. MFIs need to think about the consequences of the IPO besides an influx of capital. #mfichat

[Deborah Drake @ddrake_drake]

A2. I agree that investor pressure will drive behavior which could result in higher interest rates. Has that happened recently? #mfichat

[Deborah Drake @ddrake_drake]

A1 I think it depends. Danger is if IPO is taking place in a very competitive environment. #mfichat
