FENACREP

What FENACREP does

FENACREP (Federación Nacional de Cooperativas de Ahorro y Crédito del Perú) is a non-profit cooperative federation founded in 1958 and headquartered in Lima, Peru. The organization represents, defends, educates, and provides technical assistance to its affiliated Savings and Credit Cooperatives (COOPACs) across all 25 departments of Peru. FENACREP's member cooperatives collectively serve approximately 1.8 million members, hold 80% of total assets among affiliated cooperatives, and account for 2.8% of Peru's overall financial system. The federation operates with 51-100 employees and is governed through annual general assemblies, with the 62nd held on April 26, 2025 and the 63rd on April 18, 2026.

FENACREP's core service portfolio is delivered through four platforms. FENASIS is a financial information system providing reporting and data management for COOPACs. The Modelo de Buen Gobierno is an online platform for good governance practices and regulatory compliance management among affiliates. Escuela Cooperativa is a virtual education platform offering courses and specialized programs for cooperative sector training. The Mesa de Partes Virtual enables electronic submission and processing of official documents between COOPACs and regulatory authorities. These platforms are distributed domestically through the network of affiliated COOPACs and supplemented by international partnerships with WOCCU, DGRV, Desjardins, USAID, Water.org, SwissContact, COLAC, NCUF, ONU REDDD, and Entura Perú.

As a non-profit cooperative federation, FENACREP does not publicly disclose revenue figures, and specific service pricing is not published. The federation's revenue is presumably derived from member COOPAC dues, service fees, and international development grants. Beyond core representation and compliance support, FENACREP pursues social impact initiatives, most notably the WaterCredit program in partnership with Water.org to extend cooperative financing to water and sanitation access, and environmental education programs in regions such as Huaylas. The federation's legally codified representation role before the Superintendencia de Banca y Seguros (SBS) and its 67+ year operating history position it as the recognized national voice for Peru's COOPAC sector.
