LAPO Microfinance

LAPO Microfinance Bank, an off-shoot of the Lift Above Poverty (LAPO) Organization, was established in response to the fallout of the implementation of the Structural Adjustment Program in the late 1980s. Incorporated in April 2007, licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in 2010, and granted national status in 2012, LAPO Microfinance Bank operates in 34 of the 36 states in Nigeria, including the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, with a vast network of over 500 branches. The institution offers a comprehensive range of financial products and solutions to support micro, small, and medium enterprises, as well as low-income households.

A promising player in the Nigerian microfinance sector, LAPO Microfinance Bank's commitment to financial inclusion and support for socio-economic development aligns with the growing demand for inclusive finance solutions in emerging markets.
