FINCA Jordan launched in 2007 with its head office in Amman. The institution immediately set to work expanding financial inclusion around the country, opening branches in the Al-Hussein and Hitten districts of Amman in 2008. From the beginning, FINCA Jordan has put an emphasis on designing financial products and channels to meet the needs of women in the country.

In 2017, the institution reached a major milestone when it received a microfinance license from the Central Bank of Jordan, the first institution in the country to be licensed under new regulations introduced in 2016.

Now going by the name FINCA Microfinance Jordan, it serves more than 30,000 clients through a network of nine branches and six sub-branches located throughout the country and through growing digital channels. It has a gross loan portfolio of nearly $33 million. The institution offers a range of responsible financial services specializing in individual, group and business loans.

FINCA Jordan reaches many women clients through its Women’s Solidarity Loan, a credit product designed to provide crucial seed capital to women entrepreneurs. It also provides a space for women to come together and share experiences and opportunities—impacting individual women and contributing to a broader social transformation in the country.

FINCA Microfinance Jordan has earned a strong reputation in the country because of its commitment to the well-being of its clients.

FINCA Kosovo launched in February 2000, less than a year after the end of an armed conflict that cost thousands of lives and displaced more than one million people. With support from USAID, the microfinance institution opened its doors to advance the mission of expanding financial inclusion to help individuals, families and communities recover from the war.

Adapting to the needs of a growing market, FINCA Kosovo expanded its initial offering of agriculture and small business loans to provide a full range of loan products. The institution now offers women entrepreneur loans, home improvement loans, vehicle registration loans and life improvement loans. It currently serves over 20,000 clients from a network of 27 branches and expanding digital banking channels.

In order to increase its reach and better serve its clients, the institution has taken steps to digitize its offering of financial products and services. It launched its Online Loan Application (OLA) system in 2012, an innovation which allows clients to apply for loans using a smartphone, computer or tablet. Clients can also receive support from the organization’s Contact Center. FINCA Kosovo was the first FINCA Impact Finance subsidiary to launch Digital Field Automation (DFA), which utilizes cloud-based tablet software to quickly review loan applications and disburse funds. In 2018, the institution launched Centralized Credit Underwriting to enable faster, more accurate and more efficient credit decisioning.

In addition to providing responsible financial products and services, the institution promotes financial and commercial literacy. It operates a wide-ranging training program aimed at ensuring clients and the wider public have the knowledge and skills needed to make informed financial decisions and effectively manage their businesses.

In 2016 FINCA Kosovo received Smart Certification for its long-standing and sustained commitment to upholding the Smart Campaign’s seven Client Protection Principles for responsible banking, which include: appropriate product design and delivery; prevention of over-indebtedness; transparency; responsible pricing; fair and respectful treatment of clients; privacy of client data; and mechanisms for complaint resolution.

FINCA MICROFINANCE BANK formed its first Village Bank in Mwanza in 1998, bringing its model of group lending to Tanzania. In the years since, over a million customers have gained access to responsible financial products including credit, savings and money transfers.

In January 2013, FINCA Microfinance Bank began offering savings products to the public. This followed a historical event where FINCA became the first MFI to be granted a license by the Bank of Tanzania, allowing the institution to accept deposits from the public and to carry out banking services as a microfinance institution. The issuance of a license by the Central Bank was an important step toward financial inclusion in the country as it helped to bring tens of thousands of Tanzanians, mainly from rural areas, into the formal banking sector.

Today, the breadth and reach of our responsible financial services continues to grow and evolve to meet new needs and new opportunities. FINCA Microfinance Bank has gone beyond traditional microfinance by leveraging the power of new technology, such as mobile phones and agent banking, to make banking more affordable and accessible. 56% of FINCA’s customers now transact through one of the 140 agents and 23% transact via mobile financial services. FINCA Microfinance Bank is the only bank that offers an opportunity for customer to open a Savings Account within five minutes using special tablets through the Bank’s remarkable innovation known as Digital Field Automation (DFA).

As we look towards the future, FINCA Microfinance Bank will continue to improve our services. We are re-engineering and streamlining our credit and customer service processes to lower costs and to make it easier for clients to do business with us. We are fostering a culture of innovation, where all employees are encouraged to lead change.

FINCA believes that the future of expanding access to responsible financial services lies in both technological innovations and delivering an exceptional customer experience.

FINCA first opened its doors in Zambia in 2001. Since launching a single office offering village banking loans in Lusaka, FINCA Zambia has grown into a full-fledged microfinance institution (MFI) serving more than 17,000 clients with financial services including credit, savings, payments and money transfers. FINCA Zambia is composed of 14 branches spanning Lusaka and the Central, Southern, Eastern and Copperbelt provinces.

FINCA Zambia is committed to expanding access to responsible financial services for micro-, medium- and small-scale entrepreneurs. Our products are tailored to the needs and aspirations of our customers, following from our customer-centric approach to product and service development. In addition to traditional banking services, financial education is key to our product and service offering. In 2012, the Bank of Zambia issued FINCA Zambia a license to take deposits. This milestone allowed us to extend our reach and become a one-stop banking solution.

Our clients can now manage savings, credit, payments and remittances all in one place. In 2015, we became the first MFI in Zambia to venture into agent banking when we launched “FINCA Express”, our third-party agent-banking model. Today, FINCA Zambia offers agent banking from 70 locations across the country. We now process more than 70% of our client transactions via FINCA Express. Our banking agents use biometric identification at the point-of-sale, another first in Zambia that makes banking both more convenient and more secure. This innovation allows customers to bank closer to their businesses and homes—eliminating the need to travel long distances to visit a brick-and-mortar bank branch. FINCA Zambia is focused on digital innovation, strategic partnerships and trust-based customer relationships as the key pillars of our future success.
