About Us

SBS Empowerment Initiative was set up to address the near absence of financial services for the large population of economically active poor people (available data puts this figure at 112,470,000) engaged in small trading and micro productive activities in many parts of the country and commenced operation in April 2019. It is the result of the strong commitment of a group of microfinance practitioners to building a vibrant and high growth organization that will play a leading role in improving access to financial services for the poor. It is a membership organization which implements a radical action programme through a range of financial services delivered to the door-step of its members.

SBS Empowerment Initiative is a national institution with an international perspective and is dedicated to mobilizing resources and offering financial services to the entrepreneurial poor that have little or no access to conventional forms of financial services. The system operates as a viable institution by hinging its services and operations on global best practice approach perfected by ASA Bangladesh, a global market leader in providing microfinance services.
