BMV:GENTERA

Gentera SAB de CV, headquartered in Mexico City, has carved out a niche in the Latin American financial services landscape by focusing on providing microfinance solutions to underserved segments of the population. Founded in 1990, the company emerged as a vital resource for Mexico’s lower-income individuals and small-scale entrepreneurs who often struggle to access traditional banking services. By operating through its principal subsidiary, Compartamos Banco, Gentera offers microcredit loans, leveraging a high-touch model where loan officers establish personal relationships with their clients. This not only helps them offer customized financial solutions but also strengthens customer loyalty and repayment rates, ensuring a flow of consistent revenue.

The business model’s genius lies in its microcredit framework, which serves as the backbone of how Gentera generates its income. Rather than relying on large transactions, the company focuses on a high volume of smaller loans, earning from the interest charged on these micro-credits. The dispersed risk among many small borrowers creates resilience against defaults, a strategy that aligns well with managing operations in economically vulnerable areas. Gentera also expands its revenue streams through fees related to insurance products and savings accounts, diversifying its financial services portfolio. By offering a range of banking services to a traditionally untapped market, Gentera not only stands out in its approach but also plays a critical role in financial inclusion, supporting thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs and their communities in the region.
