Agora Microfinance Zambia Limited (AMZ) was established in 2010 to provide high-quality financial services to the financially excluded population of Zambia.
AMZ is focused on rural lending with an average loan size of less than 150 USD. Based out of Lusaka, most branches are based in rural areas, and across 6 branches, AMZ serves over 16,000 clients of whom approximately 62% of clients are women and approximately 85% live in rural areas. The products offered are primarily village banking, small group loans, MSMEs, and SME loans.
Triple Jump partnered with AMZ in 2018 because of the strong social performance of otherwise financially excluded groups. AMZ is often the only MFI in rural areas and has a clear focus on women.
