AGFUND dealt with poverty reduction through its direct access to the targeted group, recognizing their needs and requirements for their integration into the production process through the microfinance banks that achieve financial inclusion for the poor. Such banks represent the idea which Prince Talal offered to the Arab Region in 1997. The idea was crystallized, and partnership and foundation frameworks were established with the businessmen believing in the social Business. So, AGFUND established the first bank in Jordan in 2006. Then financial inclusion banks were successively established in Yemen, Bahrain, Syria, Lebanon, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Palestine ,and Mauritania

As such, the AGFUND Banks continue to expand not only in the Arab Region. Currently, there is more expansion in Africa through establishing 8 banks in partnership with the Islamic Solidarity Fund for Development ,and the Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA) through the West African Economic and Monetary Union and establishing 6 banks in the Central African Economic and Monetary Group. By so doing, the AGFUND’s spread and presence in microfinance industry and establishing specialized banks will be the largest network in this area.

AGFUND’s banks, with their varied innovative products that contribute to solving the social and economic problems, become known in the space of the Sustainable Development Agenda. Each product addresses a number of the Agenda’s goals and issues.
