IFC's Banking on Women program provides financing and expertise to an extensive network of financial institutions to help them acquire women-owned SME and retail customers and profitably finance them.

IFC provides a full range of senior and subordinated debt, Gender Bonds, equity, credit enhancement, and risk-mitigation products to financial institutions which, in turn, provide a suite of financial services to women-owned SMEs.
