General Questions

FINCA is an acronym for the Foundation for International Community Assistance, the organization’s original name. The organization started by supporting the Latin American agriculture sector.

Unfortunately, our services are only available to those within the towns where we operate. This is due to a Central bank of Nigeria regulation that only allows state-licensed MfBs to operate within the state where they are registered.

Currently, we are a state-licensed MfB operating in Imo State. We have branches in Owerri, Naze, Relief Market, Orlu and Mbaise. We also have over 30 FINCA eXpress agents located across Imo state. Click here (http://www.fincanigeria.com/where-we-work/) to view all our locations.
