In Ethiopia, among other things, lack of access to credit is one of the main problems of the urban poor people. The purpose of this research is to undertake the performance analysis of licensed and unlicensed micro credit services on reaching the urban poor.

The data was entered, organized and categorically analyzed using STATA 9.2. It was found out that almost 100% of DECSI (Licensed) micro credit client respondents were dissatisfied due to high interest rate on loan due to operational.Modalities of DECSI (licensed) that is mainly of unaffordable interest rate on loan, the poorest sector of the urban people is being unreached, which eventually widen up the poverty gap.
