Oikocredit is providing a € 4.5 million five-year term loan to Financiera Ueno to boost the Paraguayan financial services provider’s support for women entrepreneurs.
Financiera Ueno, a regulated financial institution, operates with a digital model designed to serve individuals and small businesses. It is committed to sustainable development, and to contribute to the economy in Paraguay by creating value through a simple and transparent approach.
Ueno will use Oikocredit’s financing to assist women-led micro, small and medium-sized enterprises in obtaining opportunities, achieving their ambitions and enabling lasting beneficial change in women’s lives.
