Finance that helps businesses deliver

Non-bank finance in PNG exists in a market gap that commercial banks consistently under serve. FIFL – established in the late 1980s – provides finance leases, commercial loans, and foreign exchange services.

The niche is deliberate: PNG-based enterprises supplying into the resource and infrastructure sector, where contract wins outpace the working capital to fulfill them. LNG, mining, major construction – the procurement pipeline is substantial, and the local SMEs that win business within it consistently need bridging finance to execute. FIFL bridges that gap. It has been doing so for thirty-five years.

Foreign exchange capability where it matters

Foreign exchange is the capability PNG businesses actually talk about. For over a decade, access to foreign currency has been the single greatest operational constraint facing PNG-based enterprises – the bottleneck that slows imports, delays capital expenditure, and erodes supplier relationships.

Having a licensed non-bank financial institution with FX capability sitting inside one of PNG’s largest private groups is not a footnote. It’s a lifeline for the clients who depend on it, and a material operational advantage for Kenmore itself.
