Fundaztic is a fully online platform that connects underserved SMEs and investors, thus increasing SMEs access to financing. During the announcement of the P2P financing licenses in November 2016, SC informed that the financing gap in the country stands to be over RM80 billion and alternative funding would be helpful to reduce such gaps especially for the underserved start-ups, micro and small businesses.
Through Fundaztic’s simple and efficient online application process, Malaysian SMEs and start-ups can receive up to RM200,000 of working capital financing without providing any collateral. At the same time, with a minimum investment of only RM50, investors can earn returns of up to 23% in effective interest rates per annum, which is currently higher than fixed deposits interest rates and most short-term investment vehicles.
Easy Pay Transfers, the Sino payment specialist, aims to harness the power of financial technology to make online transfer more convenient with lower transfer fees and attractive exchange rates. Using the latest security and technology, Easy Pay Transfers shares benefits with their customers by providing a more efficient way to perform overseas remittances or trade payments. They strongly believe that a greater transparency in fees and foreign currency rate will empower and benefit local customers.
