About us
Dolla Financial Services Limited
Dolla Financial Services began its journey in 2014, initially offering Cambio and Remittance services. In 2016, the Company made a strategic shift to focus exclusively on microfinancing, dedicating its resources to expanding access to credit for individuals and businesses across Jamaica. This transition was strengthened through private equity investment from FirstRock Private Equity Limited, now Premier Private Equity Limited, which supported the Company’s expansion and long-term growth strategy.
Since then, Dolla has experienced significant expansion, growing from a single branch in Lucea, Hanover, to eleven (11) locations islandwide.
On June 15, 2022, Dolla was successfully listed on the Junior Market of the Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE) following an oversubscribed $5 billion Initial Public Offering (IPO), marking a major milestone in its growth journey. The Company’s current shareholding structure reflects a strong mix of institutional and strategic investors, including Widebase Limited (21%), Dequity Capital Management (20%), Supreme Ventures Limited (15%), Mayberry Investments (12%), and other shareholders (32%).
At its core, Dolla remains focused on providing short-term microfinance solutions that empower individuals and businesses through accessible and flexible lending. Supported by its growing branch network and strong customer relationships, the Group has disbursed over $9 billion in loans since inception and recorded a profit before tax of $602 million in 2025.
As of November 24, 2022, Dolla operates as a regulated entity under the Microcredit Act 2021, supervised by the Bank of Jamaica. This regulatory oversight reinforces the Company’s commitment to transparency, compliance, and responsible lending practices, as it continues to drive financial inclusion and support economic growth across the region.
