About Us.
Ample Swiss Investments is an early-stage inclusive lending institution providing affordable, responsible credit to underserved Micro and Small enterprises, small scale farmers in Coffee farming, Tea Farming and Dairy Farming (MSMEs) in Kenya. Incorporated in 2024 August and operational since April 2025 after installing Digital Lending System. The organization focuses primarily on Women-and Youth-led Micro businesses excluded from traditional Banking.
In its first year of operations, Ample Swiss Investments has served 1,060 MSMEs supported by a lean team of 19 staff and a digital core banking system that enable real-time portfolio tracking, repayment monitoring and gender-disaggregated reporting. We started by serving Roysambu Branch in Nairobi County. Later we expanded and opened new Branches in Nairobi and Kiambu County. These are the following branches: Kiambu County; Ruaka Branch, Githunguri Branch and Thika Branch. Nairobi; Roysambu Branch, Kasarani Branch and Githurai 45 branch.
Ample Swiss Investments was founded by Alice Milka Wanjiru Gathua and Mary Wairimu Gachiku where they were inspired by helping the small traders, Coffee Farmers, Dairy Farmers and Tea Farmers to secure business loans at flexible payment terms. This is because these small traders rarely qualify for bank loans as they do not operate bank accounts but use Mpesa platforms for trading.
