MicroFinance Consulting Division: Impacto MicroFinance

As we recover from a financial debacle and we are re-learning to value access to capital and managing our wealth, financial institutions should look closely to historically underbanked communities whom although are proven to perform well in terms of repayment rates (up to 100%)and customer loyalty they have not been given an opportunity to be part of the traditional financial system.  We can help financial institutions to scale down their services and create appropriate products and services for unbanked communities, specially new immigrants.

 

Devoted to support financial institutions reaching to the unbanked markets, Impacto MicroFinance works with Credit Unions in the following areas:

 

Our services at a glance:

  • CDFI Certification and Grant Application
  • NCUA Low Income Designation Application
  • Grant Writing and Project Design for programs to serve the unbanked
  • Marketing and Collaboration Strategies
  • Product Development
  • Cross Cultural Training

Capacity Statement:

 

With our experience leading the effort to launch the first Latino focused Credit Union in the State of Georgia (one of only 6 approved in the U.S. in 2008) we established a nationwide network of Credit Unions successfully serving the Hispanic and the Unbanked Markets in addition to building relationships with Credit Union Trade Associations (leagues) and Donors interested in supporting access to fairly priced financial services and education. 

 

We are leveraging on this knowledge to build awareness amongst financial institutions who have not yet grabbed the opportunity to develop the Hispanic Market as a growth strategy.
