Capital Match operates one of Singapore’s leading online lending platform for businesses. Through the Capital Match platform, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can access growth and working capital from investors who are looking for attractive rates of return. Launched this past April, the platform aims to enable investors to view loan requests along with professional credit assessment of each loan. They select the loans in which they want to participate. As loans are made, the platform provides end-to-end services including payment processing, debt collection and reporting.

In Singapore, SMEs represent 99% of businesses and employ 70% of the workforce, yet collectively they only receive 27% of business credit, according to the release. Capital Match offers a value proposition to both sides by facilitating the flow of capital from investors to SME borrowers, generating fixed- income returns to the former and providing working capital to the latter.
