Micro Finance
1. What Is Microfinance?
• Microfinance, also called microcredit , is a type of
banking service provided to unemployed or low-
income individuals or groups who otherwise would
have no other access to financial services. While
institutions participating in the area of
microfinance most often provide lending—microloans
can range from as small as 1000 to as large as 25,000—
many banks offer additional services such as checking
and savings accounts as well as micro-insurance
products, and some even provide financial and
business education. The goal of microfinance is to
ultimately give impoverished people an opportunity to
become self-sufficient.
