The economic and financial sustainability of Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) is a prerequisite for widening a potentially unlimited client base. Automation decreases costs, expanding the outreach potential, and improving transparency and efficiency. Technological solutions range from branchless mobile banking to geo-localization of customers, digital/social networking for group lending, blockchain validation, big data, and artificial intelligence, up to MicroFinTech -- FinTech applications adapted to microfinance. Of interest to both scholars, students, and professors of financial technology and microfinance, this book examines these trendy solutions comprehensively, going beyond the existing literature and showing potential applications to the traditional sustainability versus outreach trade-off. 001439556 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001439556 650_0 $$aMicrofinance. 001439556 650_0 $$aBanks and banking$$xTechnological innovations. 001439556 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001439556 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783030803940 001439556 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030803937$$z9783030803933$$w(OCoLC)1255173527 001439556 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMORO-VISCONTI, ROBERTO.$$tMICROFINTECH.$$d[S.l.] : PALGRAVE MACMILLAN, 2021$$z3030803937$$w(OCoLC)1255173527 001439556 830_0 $$aPalgrave studies in financial services technology series. 001439556 852__ $$bebk 001439556 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-80394-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001439556 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1439556$$pGLOBAL_SET 001439556 980__ $$aBIB 001439556 980__ $$aEBOOK 001439556 982__ $$aEbook 001439556 983__ $$aOnline 001439556 994__ $$a92$$bISE
