Abstract

High transaction costs have become one of the obstacles for the micro and small en- terprises (MSEs) to access financial loans to the bank. In order to minimize the transaction costs, group lending scheme become an alternative, so that both sides pay lower transaction costs, and MSEs are able to improve their welfare. This study aims to analyze the credit process and transaction costs incurred on the model of individu- als and groups lending and to compare the magnitude of transaction costs in both models. A mixed method analysis is used to analyze the component of transaction costs and the magnitude of the transaction cost in both models.The analsys results indicate that there are differences in transaction costs incurred on both schemes. In the amount of the transaction costs, the overall group scheme allows for greater ones compared to that of individual schemes, and that it was dominated by the cost of the disbursement. Even so, the per member group transaction cost is much smaller than that of the individual schemes.
