Case Study: Kiva Lending achieves expanded financial inclusion—funds 331 entrepreneurs across 31 countries with Ocrolus

Kiva Lending - Customer Case Study

Kiva Lending sought to expand financial inclusion by increasing access to capital for underserved entrepreneurs worldwide. To support that mission, Ocrolus launched the Ocrolus Kiva Lending Program, pledging to fund Kiva‑approved no‑interest micro‑loans and encouraging its customers to contribute — with Ocrolus matching customer donations on top of the company’s core commitment.

Ocrolus implemented the program by funding loans, matching partner contributions, and mobilizing its customer network to support Kiva Lending’s marketplace. In 2020 the effort funded 331 small business owners (including 271 female entrepreneurs), engaged 42 Ocrolus partners, and reached borrowers in 31 countries, demonstrating measurable impact from Ocrolus’s support of financial inclusion.
