Invest in the people of Myanmar.
To invest in Morakot is to support a successful team aimed at impacting rural microfinance in Myanmar
Context - Focused
-
Morakot has received the authorization from the FRD to open 50 branches in rural areas in Myanmar to support the second and third quartile of the population which has no access to conventional financial services.
-
In doing so, Morakot fulfils the government and its own objectives to support the poor in Myanmar while maintaining a goal to develop sustainable and profitable activity in Myanmar.
-
By providing responsible loans, Morakot enables its clients to meet their project goals and to develop sustainable activities in the areas they are living.
As Myanmar has moved to digitalization since the deregulation of the telecommunications sector, Morakot is undergoing a complete transformation of its systems in order to:
-
manage its regional expansion with a network and a platform which will enable up to 50 branches to report in real time and monitor appropriately its risk management processes.
-
provide its customer a full online process from acquisition to payment to support social distancing requirements and limit as far possible the usage of cash through the development of a mobile wallet.
Digitalisation
HR Training
-
As an actor of its community, Morakot will implement what was one of its success factor in Bago, recruiting locally. Providing jobs and training local staff in rural area are also ways to contribute to the development of the rural areas where Morakot has its presence.
-
Morakot will recruit over 1,000 local staff, taking into account employee attrition, and will be part of the rural area competency development. Having built its know-how in its first implantation in Bago, Morakot has in place proven processes that are the basis in developing its training “university”.
Community Development
Besides its inclusive HR policy, Morakot wants to cement its relationship with the communities by supporting local village initiatives through reinvesting 10% of its profit in corporate social responsibility programmes. These will be developed jointly with the local communities in which Morakot operates.
