Alliance was founded in 2014 to be a leader in the newly developing microfinance sector of Myanmar. The institution began as a partnership between FIDES of Switzerland BASIX of India, two leaders in the field who saw the opportunity to contribute to poverty alleviation and economic growth in the country. With the support of UNCDF and our shareholders BOPA, Insitor Impact Asia Fund, IFU, AIIF and SMH, Alliance has become a leading MFI in the Mandalay region. The institution will continue to expand across Myanmar and serve micro-entrepreneurs with quality services and a sustainable business model.
