At KTC, we believe that everyone deserves a latter of opportunity. In order to ensure that, we've created a system of loan structuring for members living in Third World nations. Each application is vetted and, if approved, a small, low interest loan is distributed. The average microfinance annual interest rate for Central America is 29%*. KTC's annual intrest rate range is between 3-5%.
Our interest rates are much lower than the average and our default rate is lower than the average. While our loans can be riskier, our goal is targeting the most impoverished communities, in order to foster a better relationship and further development with the community.
