CreditAccess Grameen announced that it has raised Euro 25 million from the German Investment Corporation, DEG, and INR 170 crore from Citi through a co-financing facility. In this new collaborative agreement, Citi acted as the Lead Arranger and Coordinator.

CA Grameen's customer-centric model offers tailored, responsive services, providing continuous support for millions of women to build sustainable livelihoods and achieve financial stability. Through regular interactions and timely credit, CA Grameen has stayed connected to entrepreneurs' evolving needs, unlike traditional onetime loan models.
