Overview

In Zimbabwe, microfinance institutions come in all sizes and forms. Some are tiny always close to you but lack resources to meet your needs. “Me too” microfinance institutions that do not have anything in particular about them but just strive to imitate other players which may not just serve your interest well. “Me-everything” microfinance institutions that try to do this and that without being good at one thing may lack deep understanding of your needs. You need the real deal. “Big ones” these may have all the resources at times, linked to big banks but lack commitment to community and a personal touch. Inclusive financial Services (Private) Limited is the right size and form. Inclusive financial Services (Private) Limited was formed in 2012. Its head office is in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. It has over 14 solid branches nationwide. We offer a full suite of products and services tailor made for micro enterprises, small to medium enterprises, small holder farmers and youth entrepreneurs.

The company has been offering a wide range of products that mainly aim at financial inclusion, poverty alleviation, and the building of self-sustainable businesses, and the economy. The main driver for the success of IFS can be attributed to the focus on the economic drivers who are the SMEs and MSMEs, and Agricultural players.
