Responsible banking and a commitment to the long-term well-being of our clients are core values embedded in the FINCA Impact Finance purpose. We have adopted strict internal standards and policies to help ensure that clients do not become over-indebted and that they are always treated fairly and ethically.

One of the keys to this is education. FINCA offers financial literacy training in many countries to teach people how to budget, save and invest wisely in their businesses.

FINCA also actively participates in and supports, MicroFinance Transparency, an industry-wide effort to ensure full transparency in pricing, and the Social Performance Task Force’s Universal Standards, which measure social performance and adherence to the mission.

FINCA Malawi emphasizes client protection in every aspect of its operations, ensuring that all products and services provided are in the interests in the client.
