MicroPlace has launched microfinance investment opportunities in the United States. Investors can now earn a financial return while funding loans to the working poor in the United States. Investors can channel their investment dollars to ACCION Texas and ACCION USA through Calvert Foundation. The purchase process for U.S. investments is similar to other investments offered on MicroPlace. Minimums for first-time purchases are US$100, with subsequent minimums at US$50.
"Since we launched late last year, MicroPlace has enabled socially responsible investors to invest in the working poor in all regions of the developing world. Now, we can make an even deeper impact by addressing poverty in our own backyard," said Tracey Turner, founder and general manager of MicroPlace.
