What differentiates Oikocredit from other socially responsible investments?

Oikocredit is not just a "socially responsible investment". It is a true "social investment". As such, we occupy a unique space in between investing and donating.

We're not a conventional investment opportunity, because our goal is not to maximize your personal financial gain. But, we are not a charity either. We offer a modest dividend - which varies up to 2% per annum - as an incentive to place your money with us.

The Oikocredit model promises the maximum social return for your investment. Our investors are not profit driven. They are looking to use the money they have to further our shared mission.
