OUR LATEST IMPACTS

What is a CDFI?

A Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), like Prestamos, is dedicated to helping economic growth in underserved areas by providing financing solutions to businesses and economic development projects. Our small business loans are often easier for which to qualify than traditional bank loans. Most CDFI loans are simple products that have predictable payments at affordable rates and fees. We are also more likely to approve loans for businesses with profiles that traditional banks deem too high of a risk to offer a loan.

Startup-Friendly

Many startup businesses have a tough time getting financing because they have not had a chance to prove their stability. Traditional lenders tend to see them as too risky. But, as a CDFI, Prestamos can extend financing to very young businesses, removing that barrier to growth.

What is the goal of a CDFI?

The goal is to develop economic opportunity for individuals and businesses in communities which are low-income with a concentration of historically underserved residents. We support the community by being a catalyst for change by injecting capital into local areas with the highest needs. This helps to revitalize communities by creating jobs developing housing and commercial real estate for long-term sustainable community growth.

Investing with Prestamos

Community development loan funds put investor money to work in the local community. And, because we work with our borrowers to increase the chances of success, the charge-off rates are generally very low. Because of this, Prestamos has a strong financial track record. We offer a variety of investment products designed to fulfill the needs of a variety of investors.
