Afghanistan’s first microfinance institution.
The Aga Khan Agency for Microfinance (AKAM), operates financial institutions in more than 15 poor nations, including The First Microfinance Bank – Afghanistan (FMFB-A), which began operations in 2004. It is associated with the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), a collection of nine development organizations that mostly operate in Asia and Africa and engage in the fields of health, education, culture, and rural economic development.
Our main goal in Afghanistan is to help reduce poverty and promote economic growth by giving the neglected and impoverished access to sustainable financial services. We joined the Global Alliance for Banking on Values (GABV) in 2016, which is a network of independent banks utilizing money to create sustainable economic, social, and environmental outcomes.
As the top supplier of financial services in Afghanistan, FMFB-A aspired to strengthen its position. The market leader in terms of Portfolio as of December 2021 is FMFB-A, which has a market share of about AFN 4 billion (61%). The bank has around 230,000 active clients, including borrowers and savers who frequently want to stabilize spending when a family’s income is unpredictable rather than saving to develop assets.
