Company Profile • Cantilan Bank operates in Surigao del Sur and Surigao del Norte; • Authorized by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas on June 8, 1980; • Has 6 branches participating in the MABS program and a soon to open new approved branch in Socorro Island, Surigao del Norte; • Has been in microfinance for almost 5 years;

Setting up a Microfinance Performance-Based Incentive Scheme Circumstances that inspired the Bank to set up incentive Scheme • Top management’s belief, determination and motivation towards successful program implementation; • Microfinance Outstanding Loans performance; • AOs’ efficient and quality performance.
Initial Constraints and Limitations Encountered • No concrete idea in formulating incentive scheme; • Backroom acceptance/ buy-in; • Target to earn incentive was smaller, thus not cost effective;
Initial Constraints and Limitations Encountered • Policy limitation (use of client’s deposit to hide delinquency); • Creates lax mindset to Account Officers as targets were easily achieved;
Initial Constraints and Limitations Encountered • Senior Managers apprehension as follows: • Costly; • Might spoil AOs’ mindset to perform only because of incentive; • Might create factions with other loans department units.
Formulating and Installing the Incentive Scheme • Incentive Scheme was formulated with the assistance of MABS; • Thorough brainstorming sessions; • CBI Incentive Scheme was designed to focus on Account Officer’s productivity and asset quality; • Bench mark to earn incentive which was set initially at P400K in terms of portfolio; at least 80 active clients; and PAR not more than 5% for individual AO and the unit as a whole;
Formulating and Installing the Incentive Scheme • Incentive Proposal was then presented to the board for approval; • BOD approved the Incentive Scheme as a policy;
Formulating and Installing the Incentive Scheme • It was installed initially at the branch where MF was pilot tested and gradually replicated and enhanced to achieve higher production efficiency and quality; and • MIS played an important role in computing the monetary reward
Results of Having an Incentive Scheme • The bank has maintained its high level asset quality; • Better team work and back room support; • Work force is more motivated to strive more; • Increased Account Officer’s efficiency;
Results of Having an Incentive Scheme • Currently, most of the Account Officers have reached more than a million portfolio with not less than 100 number of accounts for individual loans; while in • Group loans, most AOs have more than P750K portfolio and 250 to 300 accounts; • PAR percentage remained to be not more than 1.9% end of April, 2004.
With Incentive Total Incentive Cost is P3,700.00; plus allowance for probable loss, 1% of the P1Mportfolio =P10,000.00; Total Cost of P13,700/month Without Incentive Say PAR is 10% 31 days and more of the portfolio =P100K at 20% allowance for probable losses equal to P20,000, plus Provision for current loan 1% P900K = P9,000.00 Total Cost of 29,000/ month Cost to Benefit Ratio: How much it cost for a bank to pay incentive for AOs’ having an average quality loan portfolio of P1M compared to no incentive with a possible PAR of 10% 31 days and more?
