Agent Banking means providing limited scale banking and financial services to the underserved population through engaged agents , under a valid agency agreement, rather than a teller/ cashier.
Agent Banking is a delivery channel that holds high potential for closing the location gap. Actually. it is the owner of an outlet who conducts banking transactions on behalf of a bank. Globally these retailers are being increasingly utilized as important distribution channels for financial inclusion for: availing more products at a wider scale, contributing to the enhancement of Financial Inclusion and reducing costs while containing risk.
Agents can play a vital role in a range of banking services, as such of: Account opening, Cash-in and cash-out services (including cash disbursement of bank-approved loans and repayment collection), Payment and transfer services (including international remittances and person-to-person domestic transfers), and Credit underwriting (sometimes).
