General
Microfinance is an important tool in combating poverty in developing countries. Microfinance institutions provide loans varying from 50 to 1,000 US dollars to people who usually do not have access to financial services of local commercial banks. With these loans they can, for example, start their own business, or buy materials or machines for their existing business, or extend their market stall.
Since 1994 Triodos Bank has contributed its unique expertise as a socially responsible bank to the microfinance sector. Triodos Bank strongly believes that professional provision of financial services in developing countries, in particular to micro entrepreneurs, is crucial for the development of a local economy. It enables businesses to grow, to generate income and to create jobs. Professional microfinance, therefore, has significant impact on the reduction of poverty.
Triodos Bank is a member of the Global Network for Banking Innovations of Women's World Banking and the Council of Microfinance Equity Funds.
