MAXIMA MIKROHERANHVATHO CO., LTD was founded in March 2000 by a group of friends both skilled and experienced in financial services.  They began their micro credit operations in Koh Dach commune, Kandal province.  In December of 2001, MAXIMA registered with the Ministry of Interior as MAXIMA: Organization for Household Economic Development as an NGO and also worked to expand its credit activities to many communes and districts within the Kandal province.  Less than a year later in May 2002, MAXIMA registered with the National Bank of Cambodia as a microfinance institution (MFI) for rural credit operator.  As a registered MFI, MAXIMA has attracted a number of key investors. In August 2005, MAXIMA obtained a full license as an MFI from the National Bank of Cambodia  with the official name MAXIMA MIKROHERANHVATHO CO., LTD. Over the years we have partnered with various organizations such as RDB - Cambodia, ADA -Luxembourg, Etimos - Italy, and Kiva – USA among others.  In June 2008 the National Bank of Cambodia granted MAXIMA a permanent license to operate as an MFI in Cambodia thus making it the 13^th permanent MFI operating in Cambodia.
