rural banking
Farm area lending
Rural banking refers to financial services provided in agricultural and sparsely populated areas, where traditional banks may be scarce or absent.
It encompasses small-scale lending, savings accounts, and credit facilities tailored to farmers and rural communities: Rural banking initiatives helped farmers access loans for seed and equipment.
The term often appears in development contexts, addressing financial inclusion for populations underserved by urban-centered banking systems.
