The Procredit Group is a network of 18 microfinance banks in developing economies in Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Africa. The Procredit Group is owned by Procredit Holding, an investment bank in Frankfurt am Main, which was founded in 1998. The Procredit Group is one of the larger Microfinance institutions (MFIs). It differs from many Microcredit groups in its high focus on profits. According to the annual report, the Group uses the majority of its profits from its loans to increase the size of the network and set up new banks.
