06. History of Xacbank and TFG

History

  • XacBank was created as a result of a merger of the two largest NBFI’s in Mongolia “Goviin Ekhlel” LLC and “X.A.C” LLC, in late 2001

    XacBank was created as a result of a merger of the two largest NBFI’s in Mongolia, “Goviin Ekhlel” LLC and “X.A.C” LLC, in late 2001. Goviin Ekhlel LCC was established by Mercy Corps in December 1999 with funding from USAID as an NBFI serving SMEs. X.A.C., LLC began 1998 under the Micro Start Mongolia Project under UNDP, later transformed into Mongolia’s first NBFI by uniting the financial services activities of six local NGO’s.

    These NBFI’s operated in different geographic regions and were serving different markets, SME loans vs. microloans. However, both had the same strategic goal of becoming commercial banks with a full range of financial services. All these factors became the foundations of the merger of these two independent institutions to form XacBank.

  • X.A.C. and Goviin Ehlel

    In 2001, X.A.C. and Goviin Ehlel, the two pioneering non-banking financial institutions of Mongolia merged to create TenGer Financial Group, initially known as X.A.C.-GE Group.

    Each merging party brought unique, proven expertise to the table: one in creating self-employment through micro-lending, the latter in employment generation through small and medium enterprises’ lending - two strong drivers for social and economic development in an emerging economy.

    The third non-bank financial institution that formed this development alliance was NetMon, which brought savings and loan cooperative franchise model to the equation.
