European Microfinance Network

The European Microfinance Network (EMN) is a not-for-profit organisation with 114 members in 25 countries. The mission of EMN aisbl is to promote microfinance as a tool to fight social and economic exclusion and to promote micro-entrepreneurship and self-employment. This will be achieved by supporting the development of microfinance organisations through the dissemination of good practices and by improving the regulatory frameworks for microfinance, self-employment and microenterprises at European Union and Member State levels. EMN’s core membership is made up of microfinance Practitioners. These are social purpose organisations delivering financial services to the underserved or facilitating access to such services. The work of the network is also supported by Partners and Corporate Members; organisations such as national networks, academia, service providers to the sector or banks that are involved in European microfinance issues and that support the development of microfinance in Europe.
