Online Microfinance refers to digital financial services that provide small loans, savings, insurance, and other banking solutions to low-income individuals, entrepreneurs, or underserved communities via internet-based platforms. Unlike traditional microfinance institutions (MFIs), online microfinance leverages technology—such as mobile apps, peer-to-peer (P2P) lending platforms, and blockchain—to streamline lending processes, reduce costs, and expand financial inclusion.
