Funding Societies is a debt investment platform specialising in short-term digital financing for SMEs while providing a convenient and short-term fixed-income investment option for investors.

As a platform, they are committed to providing financial support to SMEs, since four in 10 SMEs lack support from financial institutions. At the same time, they provide financial opportunities for individuals and institutions with their fixed-income investment option.

This way, everyone wins!

The majority of Funding Societiesā€™ investments are short-term with a maximum tenor of 12 months. As an investor, you can start investing with as little as S$20. And the investment returns youā€™re potentially looking at is 7.82% ā€” based on the Singapore weighted average in 2020.

      The platform to register and deposit your money is very simple and easy to use. Wish they had more deals so that I can have a headstart of utilising this p2p lending system. Looking forward to it.

      I like the Smartphone application and it is very user-friendly. There is also a function I like very much where I can opt-in to auto-invest with some settings. This is particular good for those who do not have time to watch out for emerging investment opportunities!

      How does P2P Investing Work at Funding Societies?

      Peer to peer Investment (P2P Investment), also known as P2P lending, is an investment concept where individuals & institutions jointly invest in financing to SMEs and earn returns in the form of interests. Funding Societies connects SMEs sourcing for business financing directly with investors who are looking to participate in P2P Investment as part of their investment portfolio.

      Risk Management

      Default by the issuer is the primary risk that investors get exposed to with this type of investment. Funding Societies conducts a detailed assessment on the SMEs based on a framework which combines a mixture of hard and soft data including but not limited to credit bureau ratings, bank & financial statements, cash flow projections, site visits, strength of guarantors, marketability of collaterals and business's capacity to repay the facility.

      Specifically for Property-backed investments collaterals such as residential or commercial properties owned by the issuers or guarantors, are held with a first lien/charge to mitigate credit risk exposures. These properties may be auctioned to recover the investment amount in case of default.

      Investorsā€™ funds are handled by a 3rd party escrow agency, Vistra. Funding Societies also has an inhouse Compliance team and internal and external legal counsel to support regulatory and legal matters.
