The global financial services company, Citi, has a 40-year history of philanthropic and technical support in microfinance.

Building on this, the company has launched a new scheme, Citi Microfinance, to focus on developing commercial relationships with microfinance institutions, networks and investors around the globe in order to expand access to financial services for the unbanked and underbanked. The scheme is helping to expand access to capital, as well as savings, insurance, remittances and other products that provide microentrepreneurs and their families with financial choices and opportunities that are not currently available to them.
