“The popular sector lives day by day fighting for its development and well-being, and we believe, and trust Mexicans and we will continue to invest to serve them in the best possible way,” Kleinberg said in a statement.
In March 2018, Te Creemos Holding announced the purchase of the CAME software, one of the largest in the sector, and had previously announced the acquisition of other microfinance companies such as Finca México.
These two acquisitions by Te Creemos Holding add up to a portfolio close to 5,000 million pesos, with a presence in 31 states in Mexico.
“Te Creemos and CAME grant microcredits to the popular savings and credit sector under two methodologies: communal banking and individual credit. As they are regulated entities, the two companies capture savings from customers and thereby fund between 40 and 50% of the portfolio, in addition to being diversified with national and international funding ”, Te Creemos Holding explained.
