Insurance

Credit, disability and funeral insurance help reduce the financial stress of meeting major or unexpected expenses.

Money Transfers

FINCA clients have a safe and affordable way to receive and send money for business and personal purposes, giving them more free time to spend on their growing businesses.

Energy Loans

Clients can purchase or lease clean electricity systems or products for use at home or to improve their small businesses. The systems also improve health and safety by eliminating the use of kerosene or charcoal.
