AUXFIN International B.V.

AUXFIN International B.V. is a Netherlands-rooted company whose stated mission is 'Financial and Social inclusion for ALL'. It builds and operates digital platforms and community-based programmes that extend financial, value chain and community development services to vulnerable populations — including refugees, smallholder farmers and micro-entrepreneurs — who often have low literacy and numeracy skills, limited internet access, no or low access to electricity, and little experience with mobile technology. Rather than relying on individual smartphone ownership, AUXFIN organises people into value networks of groups built around a shared tablet and supported by trained field agents. This operating model, called the G50 approach, groups up to 50 households around a tablet connected to AUXFIN's UMVA platform and a community activation programme (CAP). Each group elects its own leaders with attention to age and gender balance, and each is supported by a field agent who helps ensure the technology is understood and used well. After registration and group formation, groups go through a resource-mapping and mobilisation phase to identify their biggest challenges and opportunities, then prioritise a plan and use AUXFIN's tools and services to realise it. AUXFIN reports that its work benefits approximately 3.1 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa and that it is actively working in 5 countries, with 11 organisations using the UMVA platform. Its service portfolio includes financial inclusion tools, agricultural advisory services such as AgriCoach, and health-related learning such as HealthCoach, alongside access to local service providers for items like mosquito nets. The company has expanded its footprint over time, including the establishment of AUXFIN Moçambique Lda. as part of its mission to drive inclusive rural transformation across Africa. As a Netherlands-rooted company, AUXFIN frames its identity around Dutch experience with water and community resilience, and it has mobilised support for users affected by flooding, for example in Cibitoke. Its public communications emphasise partnerships, digital technology and sustainable lending to smallholders in fragile contexts, positioning AUXFIN at the intersection of fintech, agritech and international development.

AUXFIN International B.V. is a Netherlands-rooted company that describes itself as a provider of financial, value chain and community development solutions. Its public mission is 'Financial and Social inclusion for ALL'. The company's approach was shaped by the recognition that many of the populations it seeks to serve — refugees, smallholder farmers, micro-entrepreneurs — have low literacy and numeracy skills, limited access to the internet, no or low access to electricity, and limited experience with mobile and other technologies. Rather than assuming individual smartphone ownership and high connectivity, AUXFIN developed a group-based model in which people are organised into value networks around a shared tablet and assisted by trained agents. Central to this model is the G50 approach, which organises groups of up to 50 households around a tablet connected to the UMVA platform and a community activation programme (CAP). Each group is governed by self-elected and representative leaders, with attention to age and gender. A field agent supports each group to ensure good governance and effective use of AUXFIN's solutions. After registration and group formation, each group goes through a resource-mapping and mobilisation phase to inventory its biggest challenges and opportunities for self-development. Based on that assessment, the group prioritises a plan and can use AUXFIN's tools and services to realise it — for example, starting with the HealthCoach to learn how to prevent major disease or to buy mosquito nets from a local service provider, or deciding to improve agricultural production. AUXFIN reports that its work benefits approximately 3.1 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa and that it is actively working in 5 countries, with 11 organisations using the UMVA platform. Its service portfolio includes financial inclusion tools, agricultural advisory services such as AgriCoach, and health-related learning such as HealthCoach. The company has expanded its geographic footprint over time, including the establishment of AUXFIN Moçambique Lda. as part of its mission to drive inclusive rural transformation across Africa. It has also engaged in partnerships and digital technology initiatives aimed at enabling sustainable lending to smallholders in fragile contexts, such as the Sahel. As a Netherlands-rooted company, AUXFIN has drawn on Dutch experience with water and community resilience, and it has mobilised support for users affected by flooding, for example in Cibitoke.
