The Governor said financial inclusion remains an important part of Malawi\u2019s broader economic development agenda, particularly at a time when technology is creating new opportunities for people to access financial services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, he stressed that innovation and digital platforms alone would not guarantee sustainable financial inclusion, saying trust, customer protection and responsible business practices would be equally important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTechnology can make financial services faster and more accessible, but it is responsible conduct, transparency, customer protection and sound governance that will ultimately determine whether customers trust and continue to use those services,\u201d said Partridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The establishment of OMFIN expands Old Mutual\u2019s financial services offering in Malawi, adding credit solutions to the Group\u2019s existing presence in insurance, pensions and investment management. OMFIN General Manager Kisa Mwelefu Kalolokesya said the new institution will initially introduce two key products which are The Golden Reserve, an annuity solution linked to Old Mutual\u2019s pensions business, and a payroll-based lending facility targeting employees in the private sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said OMFIN&#8217;s lending approach will focus on responsible credit by assessing customers beyond the traditional requirement for physical collateral. The launch comes as Malawi\u2019s financial services sector continues to evolve, with digital innovation increasingly creating opportunities to reach individuals and communities that have traditionally had limited access to formal financial products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reserve Bank of Malawi Governor George Partridge has challenged financial service providers to intensify efforts to expand access to formal financial services, saying many Malawians remain outside the country\u2019s mainstream banking and credit systems.
