Our story

Bellatrix was established in 2019 with N$250 000 in equity capital from its shareholders. Since then it has disbursed more than 1 500 procurement-based loans to MSMEs across all 14 regions of Namibia.

That growth is fitting for the name. Bellatrix is the third-brightest star in the constellation of Orion, and it echoes our mission: to become the nation’s largest and preferred financial service provider for MSMEs and start-ups.

In 2023 we added sustainable finance through the Green Credit Line Facility, a blended finance product developed with the Environmental Investment Fund of Namibia that makes concessional loans, guarantees and equity available for green projects.
