Financiera Confianza
Microfinance (Social)
Confianza’ means confidence in Spanish. And that is exactly what this microfinance institution wants its financial services to engender in new and small businesses. Financiera Confianza focuses primarily on people in the lower income groups in the Peruvian highlands. This group has hardly any access to the services of local banks. Financiera Confianza is also active in the capital city, Lima, and in other cities in the centre of Peru. Triodos Fair Share Fund has provided loans to Financiera Confianza to enable it to generate further growth.
