As part of its long-term strategic commitment to supporting female entrepreneurship, maib launches the “Women Who Lead” campaign, reaffirming its support for women who build businesses, create jobs, and actively contribute to economic growth.

In the Republic of Moldova, an increasing number of businesses are founded and led by women, whose role in economic development continues to grow in importance. Through this initiative, maib aims to provide not only financing, but also stability and predictability in a dynamic economic environment.

Until March 31, 2026, women entrepreneurs can access MDL financing at a fixed annual interest rate of 8.88%, under clear and transparent terms tailored to the real needs of the businesses they lead.

At maib, women have access to tailored financing solutions, including:

• working capital loans (non-Agro)
• agro loans for working capital
• investment loans (non-Agro)
• Invest Agro

Key terms:

• fixed interest rate of 8.88% per annum for the entire loan term
• loan maturity of up to 24 months
• loan currency: MDL

In addition, each client who secures financing will receive a business debit card (Visa Business or Mastercard Business), with free monthly maintenance during the first year.

Who is eligible?

The initiative is designed for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises that submit financial statements to the National Bureau of Statistics of the Republic of Moldova and are:

• at least 50% owned by women, and/or
