Case Studies
This case study is about how humanity is still grappling with the issue of refugees and their exclusion from society. To address this challenge of financial inclusion, Centenary Bank has partnered with Crown Agents Bank (CAB) to extend financial services to refugees living in the Dzaleka camp in Malawi.

13,500 Households receiving WFP cash assistance
Crown Agents Bank’s trade finance initiative in Mozambique exemplifies the transformative power of financial inclusion and the absolute importance of providing the most vulnerable communities access to the global financial system. Faced with the dual pressures of grain shortages and a strained global financial system unwilling to facilitate local demand, Mozambique found itself in a humanitarian crisis in large part caused by financial exclusion. While Crown Agents Bank addressed an immediate emergency, it also strengthened a new pathway into the global financial system for institutions and communities that have long been left behind by other Western financial institutions.
