Microfinance Technology

Technology is key to reaching isolated communities – many of which live in extreme poverty. Because remote areas are expensive to operate in, traditional banks avoid them – leaving already vulnerable communities without any opportunity to break the poverty cycle.

This is where your support comes in – thanks to your giving, Opportunity International Australia is able to reach these communities with mobile and electronic technologies, reducing transaction costs and giving a hand up to some of the most marginalised and remote communities in the world.

When it’s affordable and accessible, technology allows clients to make transactions near their homes, reducing transportation costs, improving their productivity and increasing their access to their much-needed funds. Your support helps provide more people with access to the basic financial services they need to transform their futures.
