In conjunction with Banco Solidario, Accion International has launched a program whereby loan officers in Ecuador are being equipped with personal digital assistants (PDAs) and PortaCredit, a customized software program that has improved efficiency and access across Banco Solidario&#039;s wide range of clients. PortaCredit combines financial analysis, loan processing, and risk analysis into an easy-to-use software application that can run on wireless devices such as PalmPilots.&lt;br class=&quot;clear&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
