There were significant damages to the Portoviejo FINCA branch, causing its closure. Thankfully, the branch has been restored and is now open for business again to our clients.<\/p>\n<p>FINCA serves over 25,000 clients in Ecuador with loans, savings, insurance and money transfer services. In the wake of the disaster, FINCA staff provided a three-month grace period on loan repayments for clients in the affected areas. In addition, they helped to facilitate over $200,000 in insurance payouts to those impacted by the earthquake.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18177\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18177\"
