- The Client Share Ownership Program (CSOP) allows the borrowing clients to become part owners of EFC, a first in the Zambian microfinance sector. Borrowers with a good repayment history are eligible to receive an incentive based on the amount of interest they have paid; a portion is re-invested into EFC.
The CSOP is a scheme only and exclusively fueled by EFC borrowing client’s incentive mechanism. The eligible borrower receives back 10% of the total interest paid, they then select their incentive from four options.
As an added incentive, EFC contributes an incremental bonus on the amount invested by the borrower into CSOP, this means the more the borrower invests into CSOP the larger the total value of the incentive.
