Project scope and objective

Founded in September 1970 in the province of Cartago, MUCAP is well established in Costa Rica’s financial system. MUCAP is now the second largest mutual savings bank in Costa Rica. As a company authorized by the Banco Hipotecario de Vivienda, MUCAP is overseen by the regulatory bodies of the Costa Rican financial market.

MUCAP has 33 locations in seven provinces and offers its clients an extensive portfolio of products including loans to purchase, build, or repair homes, loans to small and medium-sized enterprises, and consumer loans. The company also offers its clients attractive savings and investment products.

The goal of this IIC operation is to provide long-term financing to MUCAP so that, in turn, it can provide financing for low-income housing and to micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises throughout Costa Rica.
