Tell us about First Finance:
First Finance was established in 2009 after a successful concept testing in 2006 by our local founding company First Home, with joint venture from Singapore based Phillip Capital and Luxembourg based Insitor Fund.
Back in 2006, it was very difficult for those who have low-middle incomes to buy a house since banks puts more focus on high income customer. Seeing this challenge, our founding shareholder puts together a concept to provide finance to those with low-middle income to purchase their dream house.
Although licensed as MFI, First Finance focuses on micro-mortgage which is very different from other MFIs.
