UNCDF Supports the Expansion of Opportunity International’s Network of Community Banks into the Democratic Republic of Congo

A pledge of US$2.5 million from the UN Capital Development Fund is helping to bring safe and affordable access to financial services to the Democratic Republic of Congo, one of the world’s poorest countries, where only 1% of the population has access to a bank account

Although only 1% of the Congolese have access to a bank account, the actual number with accounts is just a few thousands. In Kananga, I know of very few with accounts.
