Fernando Álvarez presents the success story of his organization and explains how it has achieved growth, becoming one of the leading microfinance companies in the world. The company began its operations in 1990 and serves more than 1,600,000 clients. The majority of clients are women entrepreneurs who prior to becoming clients of Compartamos Banco, had no access to working capital loans. He mentions their business model where the person is the central hub for business performance. The good judgment of converting this model from an NGO to a private bank and then to a public company has allowed Compartamos Banco to grow exponentially.
