  1. This model presents the association between financial literacy and microfinance access. Part A of the logit model shows − 63.24 log-likelihood, LR chi2 (6) is 1046.35, and model fits at 89% Pseudo R2 value; where part B shows − 43.701 log-likelihood, LR chi2 (9) is 1085.41, and model fits at 93% Pseudo R2 value. On the other hand, Part A of the Probit model shows − 65.67 log-likelihood, LR chi2 (6) is 1041.48, and the model fits at 88% Pseudo R2 value; where part B shows − 44.97 log-likelihood, LR chi2 (9) is 1082.89, and model fits at 92% Pseudo R2 value. The value of Prob > chi2 is 0 for all models, and the observation of A & B is 852. ***, **, * refer significance level at 99%, 95%, 90%, respectively. The value within the first bracket is the standard error value
