Advans Group is an international microfinance institution dedicated to advancing financial inclusion and fostering sustainable growth in Africa and Asia.

We aim to build leading financial institutions that empower local businesses, create jobs, and improve livelihoods, contributing to economic and social development, especially in regions facing challenges like climate change.

We focus on meeting the financial needs of small businesses and underserved populations with limited or no access to formal services. Through tailored, responsible, and sustainable solutions, we help clients grow and become more resilient, particularly in rural and vulnerable communities.

In 2023, Advans Group achieved significant milestones in digital transformation and climate resilience. Our AIR+ digital initiative is revolutionizing client experiences across our subsidiaries, enhancing efficiency, and expanding our reach. We also advanced our Climate Strategy, conducting risk assessments and launching awareness programs to help clients adapt to climate challenges.

Founded in 2005 in Luxembourg, Advans is funded by leading Development Finance Institutions (DFIs), including the European Investment Bank (EIB), FMO (NL), CDC Group Plc (UK), the International Finance Corporation (IFC - World Bank Group), KfW Development Bank (Germany), and FISEA (AFD Group, FR). We operate in eight countries—Cambodia, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, DRC, Ghana, Myanmar, Nigeria, and Tunisia—serving over 1.12 million clients with a loan portfolio of €1.75 billion and deposits exceeding €1.12 billion. Our 301 branches are supported by a team of over 7,500 employees.

We're always looking for passionate individuals to join us. Follow us and explore career opportunities on our website to see how you can contribute to building a better future through financial inclusion.
