What are Oikocredit’s operational costs?

Currently, our operational costs are around 2.3% of total assets. The costs are kept low amongst other by the fact that some of our capital mobilization is taken care of by our international network of volunteers through our support associations. Another factor is our structure with local staff, which assures presence and proximity to our partners in the field.

Many members value the fact that our operational costs are kept low, so that the maximum possible funds are sent to the field. This allows us to support more than just successful, well-established microfinance institutions. We can support the newer and weaker ones, as well as other types of economic initiatives for the poor, like grassroots credit cooperatives or small and medium enterprises with a high social relevance.
