2008
Started Operation as a unit state licensed MFB
This was the time when we started our company. We had no idea how far we would go, we weren’t even sure that we would be able to survive for a few years. What drove us to start the company was the understanding that we could provide a service to cater for the under-served market- MSMEs.

2010
Our Unit License was upgraded to a State License
This was first period when Addosser MFB actually felt like it would stick around for a while. We realized we were growing more stable and expanding at the same time. We needed another branch as we had realized the vast opportunity in other markets.
