Grameen Bank uses the "solidarity party" system to ensure the refund of the loan. An informal small group applying for loans together and its members are guaranteed to each other and help each other develop. In addition to increasing the scope of the bank, banks also apply other methods to protect the poor. Micro-credit included housing loan, fish khahar and other banking system including irrigation loan scheme.
