STARX Capital Markets Launches Global Initiative to Support Financial Inclusion


(New York, Mar 30, 2024) STARX Capital Markets Ltd., a leader in global asset management and financial services, has announced the launch of its latest initiative aimed at promoting financial inclusion in underserved regions. With the unveiling of the STARX Global Access Program, the company seeks to bridge the gap between traditional financial services and communities that have historically been excluded from the formal financial system. The STARX Global Access Program, officially launched in July 2024, is designed to provide financial education, access to investment tools, and tailored services to individuals and small businesses in emerging markets. STARX has committed over $50 million to this initiative, with a focus on regions such as Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. The program aims to empower communities by offering access to financial products and services that were previously out of reach, including micro-investment platforms, savings tools, and educational workshops on financial literacy. During the program’s launch event in July, a STARX spokesperson emphasized the company’s long-standing commitment to creating positive social impact through its financial services. “At STARX, we believe that access to financial services is a fundamental right, not a privilege,” the spokesperson stated. “With the STARX Global Access Program, we aim to democratize access to financial tools and resources, ensuring that more people, regardless of their location or socioeconomic background, can participate in the global economy.” The Global Access Program is a multi-faceted initiative that includes several key components. First, STARX will provide micro-investment platforms tailored to underserved populations. These platforms will allow individuals with limited capital to start investing with as little as $10, giving them the opportunity to grow their savings and gain exposure to financial markets. The goal is to create long-term financial stability for individuals in regions where traditional banking and investment opportunities are often unavailable.


STARX Global Access Program aims to support over 10,000 small businesses in emerging markets by offering low-interest loans and financial advisory services by the end of 2025.
The STARX Global Access Program will also offer tailored services for small businesses. In partnership with local microfinance institutions, STARX will provide low-interest loans and financial advisory services to small businesses in emerging markets. These businesses, often excluded from traditional banking services, will have the opportunity to access credit and investment capital that can help them expand and grow their operations. STARX aims to support over 10,000 small businesses by the end of 2025, providing them with the financial resources needed to succeed.

The program’s pilot phase, which began in June 2024, has already shown promising results. In Kenya, for example, STARX has partnered with local fintech companies to roll out its micro-investment platform, allowing over 5,000 individuals to start their investment journeys. Early feedback from participants has been overwhelmingly positive, with many reporting that the platform has given them the tools and confidence to take control of their financial futures.

The expansion of the program is planned for late 2024, with additional rollouts in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Brazil. STARX is actively working with local regulators in these regions to ensure that its platforms comply with local financial laws and regulations, and the company is committed to maintaining high standards of transparency and customer protection.

As part of the Global Access Program, STARX will also be partnering with international development organizations, such as the World Bank and the United Nations, to further its reach and impact. By aligning with these organizations, STARX hopes to tap into global expertise and resources that will enhance the program’s ability to drive meaningful change in the regions it serves.

The STARX spokesperson also emphasized the long-term vision for the initiative. “Our goal is not just to provide financial services, but to help create sustainable, self-reliant communities,” they said. “By giving people the tools to save, invest, and manage their finances, we are helping to build a more inclusive global economy—one where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.”
