Why we finance microfinance

Whoever you are, and wherever you live in the world, you are likely to want permanent access to financial services.

Microfinance banks play a crucial role, providing finance to more and more people living on low-incomes. We finance microfinance institutions because they help build inclusive financial sectors, where people can access financial services. This leads to more sustainable and balanced social and economic development.
