To date the Bank has disbursed more 125k loans in excess of Rs. 3.0 billion to women entrepreneurs through its 75 locations covering almost all of Sindh Province.
Due to SMFB’s strong performance indicators and low default ratios, the Pakistan Credit Rating Agency (PACRA) assigned the initial entity ratings of A- for the long term and A2 for the short term which in PACRA’s perspective captures the strength of SMFB as a growing institution in the microfinance sector.
