For over 20 years, FINCA has been a resilient and innovative partner to hundreds of thousands of hardworking microentrepreneurs, farmers, and families across the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FINCA is committed to providing customers with innovative solutions and increasing financial inclusion, especially when times are hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DRC is the second-largest country in Africa with vast stretches of dense rainforests and mountains making transportation and connectivity challenging in many areas of the country. As a result, many rural communities are nearly isolated. Journeys of just a few miles can take hours or days due to washed out bridges and deep potholes. For people living in the DRC, getting to a physical banking location can be nearly impossible. Today\u2019s ongoing conflict only exacerbates these challenges\u2014with many cities, towns, and roads shut down, sending ripple effects through the country\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But thanks to investments in technology, FINCA enables clients to access their accounts directly from their phones whenever and wherever they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With cash becoming increasingly unavailable due to the political conflict, there is increasing reliance on digital infrastructure and transactions. FINCA DRC\u2019s digital payments capabilities provide much needed stability in very uncertain times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to providing digital tools, FINCA staff across the DRC provide customers with real-time support and adapt to clients\u2019 needs in evolving situations. This includes continuing to visit clients, restructuring loans when needed, and opening a temporary office to provide customers an additional banking touch point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The services that FINCA continues to provide, especially in times of crisis, are critical to helping people maintain their livelihoods and be in a position to rebuild better. This life-changing work is only possible thanks to supporters like you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We hope you\u2019ll join us in building resiliency through digital technologies by making a gift to support FINCA today.<\/p>\n
