Angkor Microfinance Kampuchea
Microfinance (Social)
Angkor Microfinance Kampuchea (AMK) serves the lower economic segments in Cambodia and focuses mainly on poor households in rural areas. The organisation has a very strong geographical presence in remote areas and strong social focus and is one of the leading microfinance institutions in sustainability. Founded in 2003, AMK underwent a strategic transformation in 2010 and turned from a rural credit-only business into a broader provider of microfinance services.
The institution runs 147 branches and covers about 98% of the country’s villages. As of 31 December 2015, AMK services 327,573 borrowers, 82% of which are female and 96% are in rural areas. The gross loan portfolio is USD 128 million. Formerly financed by Hivos-Triodos Fund, it is now being financed jointly by Triodos Fair Share Fund and the Triodos Sustainable Finance Foundation, Triodos Microfinance Fund has provided a subordinated loan to AMK to continue be an innovative player in Cambodia and to broaden its product range in the coming years.

Microfinance
Whoever you are, and wherever you live in the world, you are likely to want permanent access to financial services. Microfinance banks play a crucial role providing access to finance to an increasing number of people living on low-incomes. We finance microfinance institutions because they help to build inclusive financial sectors, where the majority of people have access to financial services, leading to a sustainable basis for balanced social and economic development.
