Background of the Study
Clear communication of interest rate policies is critical for shaping depositor behavior and building trust in the banking sector. Fortis Microfinance Bank has implemented strategies to transparently communicate its interest rate policies through various digital channels, in-branch notices, and mobile alerts. By providing clear and timely information, the bank aims to reduce depositor uncertainty and encourage more stable savings behavior. Effective communication of interest rate changes is believed to improve customer confidence and positively influence deposit mobilization, which is essential for maintaining a stable funding base.
Statement of the Problem
Although Fortis Microfinance Bank has enhanced its interest rate communication, challenges remain in achieving consistent depositor behavior. Variability in digital literacy among depositors may lead to differing interpretations of the communicated policies. In addition, external economic volatility can undermine the perceived stability of interest rates, causing uncertainty among savers. These issues, coupled with inconsistent messaging across various channels, may result in reduced depositor confidence and lower deposit volumes.

- To assess the impact of clear interest rate communication on depositor behavior at Fortis Microfinance Bank.
