Social banks are financial intermediaries paying attention to non-economic (i.e. social, ethical, and environmental) criteria. To investigate the behavior of social banks on the credit market, this paper proposes both theory and empirics. Our theoretical model rationalizes the idea that reciprocity can generate better repayment performances. Based on a unique hand-collected dataset released by a French social bank, our empirical results are twofold. First, we show that the bank charges below-market interest rates for social projects. Second, regardless of their creditworthiness, motivated borrowers respond to advantageous credit terms by significantly lowering their probability of default. We interpret this outcome as the first evidence of reciprocity in the credit market. show that the bank charges below-market interest rates for social projects.

“…Y, más allá de ese apoyo, el comercio justo también pretende educar a los ciudadanos y a los lobby gubernamentales y corporativos a establecer reglas de comercio y prácticas más equitativas. Las empresas sociales, comprometiéndose con el comercio justo (importando, trasformando o comerciando bienes de comercio justo) combinan esas dimensiones económicas y sociales en variados grados y a través de diversas modelos organizacionales y prácticas (Becchetti & Huybrechts 2008;Huybrechts 2012). …”
