Satin Creditcare launched its operations as a provider of individual and small business loans and savings services to urban lenders in 1990, going on to be registered as an NBFC with the RBI in 1998 and converting into an NBFC-MFI in November 2013. The company completed its IPO in the fiscal year of 1997 and was duly listed on the Delhi Stock Exchange (DSE), Ludhiana Stock Exchange (LSE) and the J
aipur Stock Exchange (JSE). Following the subsequent de-recognition of these exchanges by SEBI, Satin Creditcare listed its Equity Shares on the Calcutta Stock Exchange (CSE) on May 19, 2015, on the NSE on August 26 and the BSE on October 20 in the same year, adhering to the guidelines and policies issued by SEBI regarding the exit option to regional stock exchanges (issued December 29, 2008) and the exit policy for derecognized/non-operational stock exchanges (issued May 30, 2012). In 2017, Satin Creditcare incorporated Satin Housing Finance Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary with the aim of providing financing in the affordable housing segment and leveraging our rural outreach. This foray into the MSME and housing finance segments was inevitable, keeping in line with the group company’s strategy of product diversification and movement from unsecured to secured lending. Our business is primarily based on the Joint Liability Group model, which allows us to provide collateral-free, microcredit facilities to economically active women in both rural and semi-urban areas, who otherwise have limited access to mainstream financial service providers. We also offer loans to individual businesses and Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs); product financing for the purchase of solar lamps, as well as loans for the development of water connections and sanitation facilities. With operations spanning 23 states and union territories across India including Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Delhi & NCR, Chhattisgarh, Assam, Odisha, Himachal Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Chandigarh, Jammu & Kashmir, Meghalaya, Tripura and Sikkim, Satin Creditcare maintains a focus on rural and semi-urban areas, ensuring that our services reach deep within those numerous regions that usually face low or at best, moderate rates of penetration by other microfinance institutions.
