Accessity

Accessity, formerly Accion San Diego, is an independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit Community Development Financial Institution organization that provides economic opportunity to entrepreneurs through access to small business loans from $300 to $100,000 and a community of support and resources. Accessity’s mission is to open doors of financial opportunity to those with historically less access to capital and business support: entrepreneurs of color, women, immigrant, and low- to moderate-income entrepreneurs, so they can build prosperous businesses and livelihoods for themselves and their families, while also strengthening communities. Since 1994, the organization has provided approximately $52 million in loans to small business owners, assisting them in starting, expanding, building self-sufficiency, and supporting the local employment and economy.

Accion is the largest micro- and small-business lending network in the United States with four members and an online loan application that makes financing available to entrepreneurs from coast-to-coast. Since 1991, the members of the Accion U.S. Network have provided more than $350 million in loans to over 45,000 business owners. Globally, Accion is a pioneer in microfinance, reaching millions of individuals through our international network of partners.
