Why #2020BWC? Because it’s a campaign that runs concurrently in over 25 organizations around the world and comes to inform people about how to borrow wisely. Microinvest is the only organization in Moldova, participating in the campaign, which informs its clients and partners every year about all stages of responsible lending and choosing a reliable creditor. This year, most of the activities were organized online, but it did not in any way influence the achievement of the basic objective of the campaign – wise loans, which bring only benefits.

Let’s take a look back.

Microinvest customers told about their lending experience:

What can be more pleasant than a satisfied customer, who enthusiastically and proudly talks about his experience working with Microinvest, the goals achieved, and plans for the future? In October, we learned about 7 success stories of Microinvest customers, who realized their dreams with the financial support of the Company.

Each of them revealed the secret of wise credits, how to get only benefits from them, and avoid unpleasant situations related to penalties and over-indebtedness. As a responsible creditor, Microinvest contributes to the realization of the dreams of people in various fields, offering credits to improve living conditions, car loans, credits for business and agriculture.
