Impact to Members

Surveys showed that the products and services of CARD MBA have been rated as number one in terms of client satisfaction. Members were saying that they joined CARD and not other microfinance institutions because of the benefits that can be derived from MBA.

CARD MBA has been able to meet a specific demand of client-members for insurance in case of death to cover burial expenses, to repay the loan in case of death of a member-borrower, and provident fund or retirement savings for old age. There has been a high level of satisfaction for these products (Basic Life Insurance Program, Loan Redemption Plan, Retirement Fund, Golden Life Insurance Program, Family Security Plan, Remitter Protek Plan, Acci Plan) provided by the Association. Responsiveness to members’ needs is high. For example, in the case of Life Insurance, death claims are paid even before burial as long as all necessary documents are complete and submitted for validation.

Meanwhile, health insurance and educational assistance are the two demands that are still unmet but actuarial studies are already underway to determine their feasibility.

Mass Wedding is also a welcome service to them because the children of members with live-in partners were legitimized and became their legal dependents. It is CARD MBA’s way of initiating a moral recovery program in the community where it operates.

TAKING CHARGE

“Never in my wildest dreams have I imagined that I would exchange my rubber shoes, which I fondly call “goma” shoes, for business suits and leather shoes. I was just a simple person back then, until CARD MBA gave me an opportunity I would never get elsewhere.”

OVERFLOWING BLESSINGS

“My life before CARD was just getting by day by day, struggling to make both ends meet. When I became a member of CARD, my life changed for the better. “

JOY LIKE NO OTHER

“I am forever thankful to CARD for it helped me in so many ways. It built my self-confidence as I once used to be very timid who barely speaks and smiles at everyone.”

LESSONS LEARNED

“My seven years with CARD brought many blessings and learnings to my life. I remember how my sari-sari store used to house only a few goods until I became part of CARD.”
