Financial I N C L U S I O N R E P O RT 6 SAVINGS FINANCIAL PRODUCTS DORMANT AND TRANSACTIONAL SAVINGS PRODUCTS Savings products have traditionally been used as financial inclusion instruments; taking into account that saving allows people to accumulate funds in order to carry out different activities and to fulfill their objectives. As we have insisted in prior Financial Inclusion Reports, the design and supply of financial products should not only consider people’s needs38 but also promote their permanent use, in such a way that persons affiliated to the financial system can experience the benefits they can obtain when they are part of it. By December 2014, the number of savings accounts39 increased to 55,8 million with an annual growth of 9,1%; this growth is basically explained by the evolution of traditional accounts (9,4%). This means that, last year, there were 4,6 million new accounts, 97% of which were traditional savings accounts. In the last 4 years, an average of 3,7 million new accounts was opened. 38 The results from the first financial inclusion demand side survey carried out by Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia and Banca de las Oportunidades (2015) show that notwithstanding the shortage of resources available for saving, people express interest on saving. 39 Includes traditional savings accounts offered by credit institutions supervised by the Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia and cooperatives supervised by the Superintendencia de Economía Solidaria and electronic savings accounts offered by credit institutions. 100 FINANCI AL INCLUSION REPORT 2014 Chart 79: Savings accounts evolution by type of product 50 41,0 2,8 2,8 40 30 47,7 2,7 44,1 55,9 3,3 51,2 3,2 100% 2% 9% 85% 70% 38,2 41,3 45,0 48,0 55% 52,6 20 40% 10 25% 85% 10% 2011 2012 2013 2014 -5% Traditional saving accounts 2011 Electronics saving accounts Cities and metr Source: Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia, Banca de las Oportunidades, and Superintendencia de Economía Solidaria.

When carrying out the analysis in terms of population density, significant improvement was found, even though there is still a substantial difference in terms of use between residents of big size municipalities and those in smaller ones. As a result, in the case of municipalities with up to 10.000 residents, the number of active accounts for every 10.000 adults was 3.379 while, in the municipalities with over 100.001 residents, the same indicator was 9.680. The inactivity of savings accounts by type of municipality during the previous year did not vary significantly; approximately 46% of them remained active in all municipalities. Nevertheless, in the municipalities with less than 10.000 residents, the inactivity of the accounts increased to 57% equivalent to an increase of 1pp compared to 2013. However, it should be pointed out that, in all cases, the percentage of dormant accounts has increased; this fact has been influenced mainly by the trend set by big municipalities that concentrate 77% of the savings accounts in the country. 107 FINANCI AL INCLUSION REPORT 2014 0-10.000 residents 10.001-50.000 residents 50.001-100.000 residents residents More than 100.000 Chart 88: Percentage of active and dormant savings accounts according to municipality size by every 10.000 adults 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% Active accounts 70% 80% 90% 100% Dormant accounts Source: Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia, Banca de las Oportunidades, and Superintendencia de Economía Solidaria.

Last year dormant accounts increased by 4,1 million. Given the activity reported in savings accounts, the need for financial entities to design innovative savings products according to the needs of the population acquires particular relevance; the objective is to generate adequate incentives for the financial consumers to optimize their use and benefit from them. The use of savings accounts presented substantial difference in terms of the rurality level. In the rural and dispersed-rural areas, there is low use of accounts with an indicator below 5.000 for every 10.000 adults, while in cities and metropolitan areas the same indicator is 9.444. By municipality size, we observed a differential use pattern. In the case of big and mid-size municipalities, the number of active savings accounts by every 10.000 adults increased to 9.680 and 7.032, while in towns with small numbers of residents the indicator was 3.379. The largest proportion of savings accounts reported balances below 5 SMMLV. At year-end 2014, almost 94% of the savings accounts had balances below 5 SMMLV and concentrated 4,8% of the total funds. In this sense, it is clear that FOGAFIN’s deposit insurance, which insures deposits up to COP20 million in each entity, covers the majority of savings accounts. 110
