Overview
CreditAccess Asia is a Netherlands-based private equity firm investing in microfinance institutions across Asia to provide financial services to underserved populations. The firm focuses on offering working capital loans and other financial services to small businesses and workers, particularly women operating retail shops, small-scale traders, and family farmers. By deploying assets in countries with large unbanked populations, CreditAccess Asia aims to integrate microfinance into the financial sector and support economic development. The firm's investment strategy involves establishing and expanding microfinance operations in various Asian countries, including India, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, China, Mongolia, Afghanistan, Bhutan, Maldives, Timor-Leste, and Brunei.

The firm targets early-stage, growth, and late-stage investments, with investment sizes ranging from $1 million to $50 million. CreditAccess Asia has a track record of raising significant capital to fund its expansion and operations. In 2016, Olympus Capital Asia invested $30 million into the firm through a convertible bond, supporting its growth and strategic initiatives.
