Microfinance refers to the financial services provided to low-income individuals or groups who are typically excluded from traditional banking. Most microfinance institutions focus on offering credit in the form of small working capital loans, sometimes called microloans or microcredit.
Microfinance is about providing financial services to the poor who are traditionally not served by the conventional financial institutions. In Nigeria, a large percentage of the population is still excluded from financial services.
