RBAP-MABS achievements highlighted in International Study Tour

Three Senior Officers from the Central Bank of India, State Bank of Pakistan and Central Bank of Sri Lanka recently visited the RBAP – MABS office in Intramuros as part of their study tour organized by the Asia Pacific Rural and Agrcultural Credit Association.  Members of RBAP MABS, led by Mr. John Owens, Chief of Party, discussed with the three representatives the microfinance best practices and the various mobile banking services being utilized by member rural banks, as well as the history of rural banking in the Philippines.
