FINCA International provides financial services to the world’s poorest families so they can create their own jobs, raise household incomes, and improve their standard of living. We deliver these services through a global network of locally managed, self-supporting institutions. FINCA targets its services toward poor women living in the Americas, sub-Saharan Africa and Eurasia including Central Asia, the Caucuses and the Newly Independent States.
FINCA International is a network of community-focused credit and savings associations employing the Village BankingTM methodology. Our programs are established in areas largely underserved by the formal financial sector. Village Banking is a means of delivering financial services, small loans, and savings products to those who could not otherwise obtain them. The village banking method is unique in the responsibility and autonomy given borrowers to organize and run their banks, resulting in individual development, higher self-esteem, improved quality of life for families, and the overall empowerment in their communities. FINCA works through local affiliates that have nonprofit status. FINCA plans to transform a number of affiliate programs to deposit-taking institutions.
