We Focus on Full Financial Inclusion for Women
Women have always been at the heart of FINCA’s mission. Our first Village Banking loans helped women build businesses and provide for their families. Today we offer a range of products, services and education specifically tailored to help women generate income and build a financial safety net. More than 4.5 million women worldwide have trusted FINCA to help them generate income, put food on their tables, keep their children in school and save for the future.
FINCA was honored to be named the Best Financier for Women Entrepreneurs in the Europe region at the 2025 Global SME Finance Forum.
We Bring Much-Needed Resources to Farmers’ Doorsteps
Digital services can be a game-changer for small farmers who live far from a traditional bank branch. We help farmers get comfortable with digital technology so they can easily get a loan, purchase crop insurance or set money aside for the future. Our training teams travel to remote regions to share the latest updates on topics ranging from climate change adaptations to livestock care.
We Invest in Micro-Entrepreneurs and Local Economies
Eight in ten FINCA clients earn their income by selling goods or services. In addition to providing much-needed capital to launch and grow businesses, FINCA offers training to help customers develop effective budgets and business plans, improve their marketing skills and hire employees.
We Empower Refugees and Migrants
By providing access to responsible financial services FINCA helps refugees meet their families’ immediate needs, build resilience and contribute to their host communities. We also provide financing and education that helps refugees and their loved ones look to the future with hope.
We Help Customers Build Climate Resilience
FIF’s customers are disproportionately affected by extreme weather. Women are particularly at risk because they tend to be in more vulnerable occupations and have fewer resources.
An extensive landscape analysis, coupled with local expertise, helped us evaluate risks in each country – and each community — where our network operates. Armed with this data and ongoing feedback from customers, we tailor training and product offerings to help customers understand their risks, make adaptations and build resilience.
