Comments from Mr. Carlos Labarthe, GENTERA’s CEO:
As we approach the end of the year, we at GENTERA are very enthusiastic regarding the actions that we undertook in recent months as well as those we expect to execute in the months to come.
During the third quarter, as part of our evolution we announced the name of the holding company GENTERA, which represents a combination of the Spanish words ‘Gente’ and ‘Entera’ (in English, ‘People’ and ‘Integrity’). GENTERA will spearhead the group of companies that share our ideals: attention to the individual, profound market knowledge, product innovation and long-term value, all via microfinance. In other words: credit, savings, insurance and payment instruments, as well as financial education.
GENTERA continues to demonstrate solid performance. During the quarter, the Company delivered 23% growth in the total loan portfolio, compared with the third quarter of 2012. As a result, we currently have the privilege of serving more than 2.8 million clients throughout our various companies.
Our largest subsidiary, Banco Compartamos, obtained global investment grade rating ‘BBB/A-2’ from S&P and was affirmed on a national scale at ‘AAA’. The bank’s operation continues growing strongly and in accordance with our projections. The Group credit methodology is growing over 10% on a year-on-year basis, whereas Banco Compartamos’ individual credit methodology is the one experiencing fastest growth over 50% year on year.
Compartamos Financiera, our Peruvian operation, now serves more than 180 thousand clients, 32 thousand of these clients use the Credito Mujer product. In Guatemala, Compartamos S.A., is serving more than 60 thousand clients exclusively with Credito Mujer. YASTAS, our correspondent network manager is operating with more than 3,200 affiliates and our micro insurance broker ATERNA, had over 3.5 million active life insurance policies.
Since our inception, we have remained focused on the person, seeking to generate social, economic and human value to the highest number people as possible in the shortest amount of time. Three years ago, the Company was one Bank in one country; today, under GENTERA, we are a group of companies with operations in three countries. Now more than ever, our purpose remains to eradicate financial exclusion throughout the region of the Americas.
