Press Release
For immediate release
Letshego Lesotho becomes the
first microfinance institution to
offer savings and investment
products.
Maseru, Lesotho – 3 June 2026: Letshego Financial Services Lesotho has launched Savings and Investment products, becoming the first
microfinance institution in Lesotho to offer customers the opportunity to save and invest alongside accessing credit. This milestone marks
an important step in the organisation’s evolution from a credit provider to a broader financial services partner.
The launch reflects Letshego’s commitment to deepening financial inclusion and empowering Basotho to not only access credit, but also
save, grow and secure their financial futures.
The newly introduced products are designed to meet the diverse needs of individuals, communities and businesses, offering accessible,
flexible, and affordable options that encourage a culture of savings and long-term financial resilience. Customers will now be able to build
savings, earn competitive returns, and confidently plan for key life goals such as education, home ownership, and retirement.
The offering includes LetsGo SaveSmart, LetsGo Flex and LetsGo Fixed designed for individuals and businesses seeking secure and
accessible ways to build savings and grow wealth over time. These offer minimum deposits from M50.00 and a minimum term of 3 months.
“Today represents a transformative step in our journey to be more than a lender,” said Selloane Tsike, Chief Executive of Letshego Financial
Services Lesotho. “By introducing savings and investment solutions, we are enabling our customers to take control of their financial
well-being—today and into the future. We believe that true financial inclusion is achieved when people have the tools to both access and
grow their money. For many Basotho, financial services have traditionally focused on borrowing. Today’s launch gives customers the
opportunity to build assets, plan for future goals and strengthen their financial resilience through saving and investing.”
As a trusted provider of inclusive financial solutions across Africa, Letshego has built a strong reputation for delivering customer-centric,
responsible financial services. The introduction of savings and investment products in Lesotho reflects the organization’s broader strategy
to evolve into a holistic financial partner for individuals, and micro-entrepreneurs.
Key features of the new offering include:

• Low barrier to entry, ensuring accessibility for underserved segments
• Flexible savings plans tailored to customer needs
• Secure and regulated investment options
• Digital and branch-based access for convenience and reach
• Competitive rates to provide higher returns on investments
  This milestone aligns with national priorities to enhance financial literacy, promote savings culture, and strengthen economic participation
  among citizens.
  Letshego Financial Services invites existing and new customers to visit their nearest branch or digital platforms to learn more about the
  new savings and investment solutions and begin their journey towards sustainable financial growth.
