Investor Details Founded: 2006
Access Microfinance Holding AG, commonly known as AccessHolding, is a private equity firm based in Berlin, Germany, specializing in microfinance institutions (MFIs) globally. Founded in 2006, the firm focuses on providing financial services tailored to the needs of small businesses and underserved populations, aiming to promote financial inclusion and local economic growth. AccessHolding operates a network of MFIs across various countries, offering a range of financial products and services to support micro and small enterprises.
The firm's investment strategy involves establishing new MFIs, transforming existing non-bank microlending institutions into full-service microfinance banks, and actively managing its portfolio to enhance operational efficiency and impact. AccessHolding's network includes institutions in countries such as Liberia, Madagascar, Nigeria, Rwanda, Zambia, Tanzania, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Moldova, Ukraine, Belarus, Mongolia, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. The firm provides a variety of financial products, including loans for investment, working capital, agriculture, and housing, with an average loan amount of approximately EUR 1,270.
In September 2024, AFG Holding SA acquired a controlling stake in Access Microfinance Holding AG, marking a significant development in the firm's ownership structure. Despite this change, AccessHolding's management teams and operations have remained unchanged, ensuring continuity in its mission to support micro and small enterprises. The acquisition is expected to further strengthen AccessHolding's capacity to provide innovative digital financial solutions and expand its impact in promoting financial inclusion and sustainable economic development across its network.
