On 8 March 2022, we celebrated International Women’s Day which is an annual celebration devoted to honouring women’s achievements while seeking gender equality in a world of bias. Though it was a one-day celebration, our efforts are continuous. It is our responsibility to give women and men the same opportunities to succeed in life and contribute to a prosperous economy.
Throughout history to the present day, Malaysian women have been playing significant roles in developing our country in sectors ranging from civil society and education, to business and sports.

KUALA LUMPUR, 16 March 2022 – Funding Societies, Southeast Asia’s largest SME digital financing platform, announces its Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP) buyback for existing and former employees worth USD16 million (RM67 million). The ESOP buyback marks the fourth time this activity has been conducted by the FinTech platform. Prior, employees and company alumni have cashed out USD3.5 million (RM14.7 million) worth of ESOP shares.
Funding Societies’ ESOP policy was crafted to uphold inclusivity and equality. Under the buyback scheme, all eligible former and current employees would have a right to sell their shares at no discount to the Series C+ preference share price to incoming investors, as compared to the customary 20% discount in industry. Employees may also choose to keep their ESOP or convert their vested ESOP into shares, effectively becoming company shareholders.
