Successful public credit history and stable credit rating at the 2nd tier bank level
MFI OnlineKazFinance LLP is an active participant in the Kazakhstan capital market. We have always fulfilled our securities obligations on time. The Company's credit rating was affirmed by S&P Global Ratings in July 2022 at "B-/B", Outlook Stable.
High standards of risk management and corporate governance
Despite impressive growth, the quality of the loan portfolio remains at a consistently high level – the share of overdue loans over 90 days was only 5.1% in 2021, and in the first half of 2022 the figure was below 5%. Since 2021, the Company formed a supervisory board, which includes independent members. In 2022 the company’s internal audit service was established, the service reports directly to the supervisory board.
The largest MFI in the unsecured lending segment
As of the end of July 2022, the size of the loan portfolio of MFI "OnlineKazFinance" exceeded 76 billion tenge. Portfolio growth in 2021 amounted to 26 billion tenge or 43% y/y. Fast growth rate achieved in difficult market conditions – Covid-19 pandemic, geopolitical shocks in CIS, growing inflation – indicates effective approach to business management and consistently high demand for the Company's products.
Local team with international experience

Planned transformation from MFI to bank in 2023
Solva's strategic goal for 2023 is to receive a banking license and transform from an MFI into a bank, which will make it Kazakhstan’s first credit and financial institution to work with micro and small businesses.
