How to Join
1
1. Group Formation
Form a group with four women you trust.
There is a four-step process to join Grameen America: Group, Onboarding, Verification, and Weekly Meetings. The total time commitment for onboarding can take two to four weeks. It all depends on the members, group, and branch staff. All members must demonstrate and acknowledge commitment to our program before receiving their loan funds.

3. Verification
Invite a member of our Grameen team to complete a home or business verification visit.
4. Weekly Meetings
Meet virtually weekly with your group and Grameen America staff to make loan payments, continue your education and build peer support networks.
