Banco Compartamos S.A. (Mexico)

Banco Compartamos S.A., headquartered in Mexico City at Avenida Insurgentes Sur 1458, Colonia Actipan, is a leading Mexican financial institution specializing in microfinance services. Originally founded in 1990 as a non-governmental organization, it transitioned into Financiera Compartamos in 2002 and became an Institución de Banca Múltiple in 2006. In 2007, it made history by becoming the first microfinance institution to go public on the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, although it was later delisted in 2011 following a full acquisition by Compartamos Holding, now part of Gentera, S.A.B. de C.V., which owns 99.98% of the bank. The bank operates around 180 branches across 29 Mexican states, offering products such as working capital loans, group-guaranteed microloans, savings accounts, and insurance services. Its most recognized brand is Compartamos Banco, known for empowering underserved communities, especially female entrepreneurs, through accessible financial solutions. With a strong social mission and innovative outreach, Banco Compartamos has become a benchmark in Latin American microfinance, combining profitability with social impact.
