On Tuesday, October 21st, 2025, Fortune Credit was honored to host the team from HASAL Microfinance Bank Ltd of Nigeria at our offices in Nairobi. The visit followed our participation in the recently concluded SAM Week 2025, a key event in Africa’s inclusive finance calendar.

The meeting was a vibrant exchange between East and West Africa, bringing together shared experiences, innovations, and lessons that are helping to shape the future of inclusive finance across the continent.

Strengthening Collaboration Across Borders

The HASAL team’s visit highlighted how collaboration and shared learning can drive meaningful progress in financial inclusion. They were particularly impressed by Fortune Credit’s innovative approach, which has enabled us to reach over 12,000 smallholder farmers with access to credit, markets, and financial literacy.

Together, our teams explored opportunities to leverage technology, strategic partnerships, and climate-smart solutions to better serve underserved communities and strengthen resilience in the face of economic and environmental challenges.

Looking Ahead

We look forward to building on this partnership and visiting Nigeria soon to continue learning, sharing, and co-creating even stronger pathways for inclusive finance and community empowerment.

We also take this opportunity to congratulate HASAL Microfinance Bank on celebrating 17 years of impact in advancing financial inclusion and supporting small businesses across Nigeria.
