Accion is a global nonprofit
dedicated to building a financially inclusive world with economic opportunity
for all, by giving people the financial tools they need to improve their
lives. We are building the next generation of top-tier microfinance
institutions, and over the last 50 years have helped create 64 such
institutions in 32 countries on four continents that today reach millions of
clients. Our impact investing initiatives are pushing beyond microfinance to
catalyze more than 20 innovative start-ups dedicated to improving the
efficiency, reach and scope of financial services for
the poor.
And our Center for Financial Inclusion is helping to build a stronger industry
with high standards. Currently, our work spans nearly two dozen countries,
including the U.S., where we are the nation’s largest nonprofit microfinance
network. For further information, visit
