We loan because...
Moustache holders are oft discriminated against: It's time to redress and discriminate positively.

About us
We loan to people who have a moustache, simple! (You don't have to have a moustache yourself, but it helps!)

The inspiration for Team Moustache arose from an awareness of the MOvember charity event to benefit men's health. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movember. As a result, we emphasize loans to all men with moustaches as well as ones that support men's health. We have funded teachers in Pakistan, farmers, storekeepers, barbers and truck drivers in the Middle East, Africa and the Americas, conservative women whose husbands pose for them, medical treatment everywhere and especially eye & dental loans in Mexico.
