Facts about Latin America & the Caribbean
FINCA has been in Latin America and the Caribbean since 1989. FINCA Impact Finance subsidiaries include Ecuador, Haiti, Honduras and Nicaragua. We fight poverty in the region by ensuring low-income and unbanked women and men can access basic financial services including:
• loans to build a business and grow livelihoods
• savings accounts to keep money safe and build a cushion for hard times
• insurance to protect assets from major or unexpected life events
• money transfers to safely send money to family members living far away.
FINCA also uses fintech innovations like mobile banking in Haiti to reach those in remote areas and make banking easier and more convenient.
Through FINCA Ventures, we are improving access to basic services, like clean energy, in the region as well.
By offering financial and basic service products to people living in poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean, we are providing a sustainable method for women and men to improve the quality of life for themselves and their families.
