Triple Bottom Line
The goal of any business, through its projects, products, services and
processes is to achieve financial profitability as its single and all-important
bottom line. However with the same resources, costs and efforts a triple
bottom line or 3BL is achievable for the same business. A Triple Bottom
Line is broadly categorized as business bottom line objectives with
Tameer's 3BL

Banking 2.0
Banking 2.0 encompasses all Microfinance activities that have multi
bottom line objectives and/or which uses technology as the primary carrier
for banking outreach, customer service and order fulfillment. Traditionally
Banking has always relied on fixed infrastructure venues (branches) which
have high operating costs. This limits banking service reach and seriously
prohibits grass roots community inclusion on a fast track.
Banking 2.0 is currently in a roll out “soft launch” phase which will
continue till the end of 2009. The period 2010 onwards is forecasted as the
time where “Branchless Banking” will compete powerfully with traditional
branch-banking practices for market share.
Target market
6
Provide microfinance services to the economically active poor, who do not
have formal access to mainstream financial services.
Reports indicate 3 million borrowers by 2010.
TAMEER distinguishes itself from other Microfinance Banks by

Pakistan. It aims to provide dedicated services to the economically
active poor and to be demand driven, client centered and responsive to
the special needs of its customers.

Lending Methodology
Initial customer solicitation is often based on door to door marketing;
however, existing branches also receive walk-in and referral customers. To
increase outreach in a cost effective manner, the bank has opened service
centers that can be set up at a much
Lesser cost than a full-fledged branch. Up to 3 service centers will
be linked to a branch using DSL connectivity. Service centres will
also be equipped with a battery operated POS terminal allowing the
bank to provide an outlet for transactions such as disbursements and
repayments at lesser cost. Total number of branches and service
centres at the end of 2008 are expected to be 36 and 40, respectively.
Previously the business model used at the branch level called for
segregated departments for sales,
Operations and collections. There were about 26 employees in each
branch. However, the bank is now experimenting with a different
model in some branches whereby the sales and relationship functions
are undertaken by a single team. This change in branch structure has
made it easier to monitor loan quality in high risk branches, as
relationship officers who were responsible for the initial
disbursement of the loan are also accountable for its subsequent
collection. Moreover this structure is also expected to be more cost
effective.
14
While this model is under review, the remaining branches continue
to be managed according to the previous business model. Once a
potential client has been identified,
The application is filled in the presence of guarantors, who are also
made aware of the liability undertaken by signing a document
providing evidence of the same.
Loans of up to Rs. 30,000 require one guarantor, while higher
loan amounts require two guarantors. In addition, loan amount
exceeding Rs. 50,000 must be collateralized against a specific asset.
Once the application has been filled, the sales team also conducts on-
site visits to verify the accuracy of the information.
Household and business expenses are also evaluated against utility
bills. To keep up to date with daily disbursements and improve
delinquency management, the bank has invested in two applications,
which have been customized to cater to the specific needs of TMFB.
All loan applications are initially entered in ‘Loanware’ where a
series of checks and balances are run on the loan application to
gauge the feasibility of credit extension and to analyze the credit
history of the customer. The software has been implemented in all
branches of the country.
15
Once the loan application is approved, the approved loan case is
automatically handed over to another software called the Tameer
Debt Management - TDMS. A relationship officer is assigned to
each customer and any correspondence with the customer with
respect to collection of outstanding loan amount is updated into the
system. This allows the relationship manager as well as top
management at the central office to keep up to date with the
collection process.
In addition to a tiered loan approval process, an independent unit –
Review Credit Committee (RCC) has been set up at the HO in
Karachi and at the regional office (RO) in Lahore. The RCC is
responsible for taking credit decisions on loans that have been
transferred to the HO/RO for approval.
The RCC includes officers who review the loan application to ensure
that it meets all the product underwriting requirements. In addition,
the RCC also includes independent verification officers who conduct
random checks on loans verified and approved by the branch
managers as well as those transferred to the HO.
The RCC team verifies loans independently and generates all loan
related information directly from the client. This means that the RCC
personnel are only provided the basic details of the borrowers while
the rest of the information pertaining to the repayment capacity of
the client is independently verified. Although this practice often
results in duplication of efforts on the sample of the loans under
16
review, it is regarded as necessary to monitor the degree of
compliance with underwriting guidelines provided to the branches.
At the end of December 2006, 9 out of 17 branches enjoyed credit
approval authority. Following the high level of delinquencies faced
in some branches in the first quarter of FY07, all limits enjoyed by
branch officers were pulled back. Earlier, this authority had been
assigned to branch managers on the basis of their past experience
and performance.
Special focus is laid upon over due accounts however where
payment has been due for 60 days, the loan officer remains
responsible for collections. For accounts overdue from 60-180 days,
a mobile collection team is utilized. Finally where accounts have
been due for more than 180 days, the bank has set up a separate
recovery team.
The HO also has access to the live system and receives collection
reports at day-end as well, exemplifying RO wise and branch wise
performance against given targets.

borrowers are male.
8. Inadequate loan size: Averaging at Rs 9,300.
