AVM Timor Leste signs MOU with Kaebauk
AVM Timor-Leste is pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Kaebauk Investimentu no Finansas (KIF), a leading microfinance institution in Timor-Leste. As we all know, Kaebauk began as Tuba Rai Metin (TRM) in 2001 and officially transformed into Kaebauk in 2016, becoming the country’s first “ODTI”—Other Deposit Taking Institution licensed by the Central Bank.
Today, Kaebauk operates across numerous districts with over 22 branches, serving more than 18,000 clients, particularly focusing on rural, low-income entrepreneurs and promoting financial inclusion. The institution emphasizes empowering women, expanding access to credit, and helping households improve their quality of life.
Through this partnership, AVM Timor-Leste and Kaebauk will collaborate on programs to enhance skills, deliver educational support, and drive community development. Together, we aim to create new opportunities that uplift youth and contribute to sustainable growth in Timor-Leste.
