Prior to disbursement, each financial institution will go through a full due diligence process performed by one of our investment analysts. The process starts with the submission of all documents and reporting cited above. Thereafter, an on-site visit of generally 2 days takes place, during which the analyst will meet individually with all senior managers of the institution and if available, one or two members of the Board of Directors. The visit usually also includes spending a significant amount of time in a branch and visiting clients.
The on-site visit takes place once a year and financial institutions are also required to submit both social and financial monthly information over the entire length of the partnership.
