What the program says

Brazil has about 10 million women entrepreneurs, responsible for supporting millions of families, and even though they are on average more educated, they still face more difficulty accessing credit and pay higher interest rates. They do the right thing every day but receive nothing for it, and this effort deserves to be recognized. With “Ganha, Ganha” (“Win-Win”), actions such as completing training courses, working regularly, saving and paying bills on time will start to earn positive points. These points can be converted into concrete benefits: lower interest rates, cashback, easier access to credit, discounts on services and incentives to save. Those who are invisible to the financial system today will be able to build a positive track record, based not only on their financial past but on their commitment to family, work and the future. [p. 19]

Participation will be entirely voluntary and the rules transparent: no one loses rights or benefits by not joining. CAIXA Econômica Federal (the federal savings bank), Banco da Amazônia and Banco do Nordeste (federal regional development banks) will be engines of this prosperity, expanding the “CAIXA Pra Elas” (“CAIXA for Women”) program and helping millions of women build a financial reputation and accumulate assets over their lifetimes.

  • Under “Ganha, Ganha”, actions such as completing training courses, working regularly, saving and paying bills on time would earn points.
  • The points could be exchanged for lower interest rates, cashback, easier access to credit, discounts on services and incentives to save. According to the text, those who are not seen by the financial system today could build a positive reputation, based not only on their financial past.
  • Participation would be voluntary, with transparent rules, and those who do not join would not lose rights or benefits.
  • The text cites CAIXA Econômica Federal, Banco da Amazônia and Banco do Nordeste as the banks involved and provides for expanding the “CAIXA Pra Elas” program.
