Partner Description

Arnur Credit is a microfinance organization founded in 2001 and headquartered in Shymkent, southern Kazakhstan, with a mission to improve the quality of life of economically active people through microfinance and training services. It focuses primarily on rural entrepreneurs and small business owners who lack access to conventional banking, offering micro-credit loans for business development, agricultural projects, and the processing and trade of agricultural products. Alongside its lending, Arnur Credit pairs financial products with consulting and training support, reflecting a strong commitment to client success and responsible finance.

A unique lending approach

Kiva funding helps Arnur Credit provide affordable credit to rural micro-entrepreneurs and small business owners who are outside the reach of traditional financial institutions. A defining feature of Arnur Credit's model is its dedicated focus on women in business, offering tailored loan products and support programs designed to help women entrepreneurs start and grow their enterprises. This commitment to financial inclusion, especially for women in rural communities, directly contributes to stronger local economies and improved livelihoods across the region.
