ACCION International

About

Accion is a global nonprofit on a mission to create a fair and inclusive economy.

Every day, the global financial system fails 1.6 billion people. They are low-income small business owners, smallholder farmers, and women — the people who are most impacted by climate change, economic instability, and conflict. They lack a safe place to save their money, credit to manage and grow their businesses, insurance to protect against climate disasters, and other high-quality, affordable financial services that many of us take for granted. 

They work with local partners to develop and scale responsible digital financial solutions for underserved people globally, so they can make informed decisions and improve their lives. 

THEIR APPROACH

They drive social impact in local communities and global systems.

HOW THEY WORK

They find and help build innovative companies with the potential to reach large numbers of underserved people and accelerate their growth by investing capital and providing strategic governance and advice.

They work with partners to create affordable digital solutions that build clients’ financial health and well-being. Accion Advisory leverages expertise in digital technologies to design, test, and deploy new financial products and services. 

They conduct in-depth research and share their learnings to advance responsible financial solutions and systems. The Center for Financial Inclusion, an independent think tank housed at Accion, focuses on consumer protection, women’s economic inclusion, data risks and opportunities, and climate change.
