The implementation of new technologies and digitisation of services has enabled Microcred to scale up and become increasingly sustainable by increasing efficiency and reducing costs . It is a company that focuses on its people and its clients , with significant expertise on the ground , and is now home to vast numbers of branches and a reputable brand name . The company will continue to provide a multitude of services and digital solutions , improving services through digital innovations , which will enable clients to gain increased accessibility alongside traditional services . Now such technologies have been established , replication and future growth in bringing key products to market has become a real possibility .
