In February, Girls’s World Banking concluded their buyer analysis round ladies buyer engagement with the digital cell pockets, Rocket, supplied by Dutch Bangla Financial institution Restricted (DBBL). Utilizing buyer insights, we created an intervention that offered learn-by-doing moments for ladies clients to follow and transact with their cell pockets accounts.

The staff labored carefully with Rocket to pick out a set of factories to deploy the validated intervention within the type of a pilot, to check two engagement fashions, (1) a Model Promoter located outdoors of the manufacturing unit in Rocket’s FastTrack, a physically-manned location with a number of ATM machines; and (2) a Peer Ambassador inside the manufacturing unit, leveraging skilled and trusted ladies of their factories.

How did we get there?

Based mostly on our buyer analysis findings, we developed 4 design ideas which act as pointers for our intervention to ensure that it to achieve success:

  1. It’s interactive
    Data alone doesn’t lead to motion. How would possibly we create an interactive, learn-by-doing second for ladies clients to learn to transact utilizing their Rocket account?
  2. It’s handy for ladies manufacturing unit employees
    Many ladies garment manufacturing unit employees are working lengthy hours, with one hour for lunch break, and a busy schedule outdoors work. How would possibly we create one thing that doesn’t impede on their busy life-style and schedule?
  3. It’s accessible
    Girls garment manufacturing unit employees have low ranges of literacy (together with digital). How would possibly we make transacting with Rocket simpler for ladies clients who could also be utilizing function telephones?
  4. It encourages, conjures up, and incentivizes ladies
    At present, ladies clients aren’t incentivized to make use of the Rocket cell pockets for transactions. How would possibly we create worth for ladies clients when utilizing their Rocket accounts?

By mid-December, the pilot will come to an finish and we’ll conduct qualitative analysis to raised perceive the outcomes of the pilot and what changes should be made earlier than rolling-out to the bigger buyer base with a view to maximize our affect amongst DBBL clients.
