The Origin Story...

Gidauniyar Alheri Microfinance Bank emerged from a vision of financial inclusion and community empowerment. Established as part of the Gidauniyar Alheri Community Services initiative in 2002, our bank is the financial backbone of our mission to address poverty and illiteracy in the Gwale local government area.

In 2022, under the leadership of Dr Shamsuddeen Usman, we underwent a transformative recapitalisation. This brought together a coalition of reputable institutional investors, each sharing our commitment to community development. From humble beginnings with manual ledgers, we've evolved into a tech-savvy institution, ready to meet the financial needs of our community in the 21st century.
