Business Term Financing

Term Financing are paid in monthly instalments, which are due on either the 1st or 15th of the month to allow for GIRO deductions from the SME's bank account.

Term financing repayments are updated to your available account balance within 1 working day of the notes being repaid during the grace period of 7 days.

The 7 days between the due date and actual repayment date into investors account balance is the grace period we offer to SMEs. This accommodates for bank transaction delays and offers a small buffer due to unforeseen circumstances on the SMEs end.

The monthly amount to be received by an investor is calculated by the formula:

[(principal invested + interest component for the investor) / number of months in tenor] - 18% of interest component of instalment as service fees - withholding tax payable (where applicable)

Invoice Financing

​Invoice Financing are repaid in bullet form (i.e. typically in a one-off full payment by end of the loan’s tenor), which may be 30 days, 45 days, 60 days, 90 days, 120 days or 150 days after the funds have been disbursed. These repayments do not follow the 1st or 15th due dates that Term Financing instalments do. These are usually reflected in your available account balance the next business day from when we receive the SME's repayments.

The repayment amount is calculated by the formula:

(principal invested + simple interest earned) - 18% of interest component as service fees - withholding tax payable (where applicable)

Property-backed Secured Notes

Property-Backed Secured Notes are typically repaid as such: the interest follows a monthly repayment schedule, while the principal is repaid at the end of the note tenor, together with the last monthly instalment of the interest component.

Similar to Term Financing, the monthly instalments are due on either the 1st or 15th of the month to allow for GIRO deductions from the SME's bank account.

Property-Backed Secured Note repayments are updated to your available account balance on either of these 2 dates in a month: by the 8th of the month (or next business day if it falls on a weekend) for all notes due on 1st of the month, or by the 23rd of the month (or next business day if it falls on a weekend) for all notes due on the 15th of the month. This follows the same grace period as Term Financing above.

The monthly amount is calculated by the formula:

monthly instalment for all months before the last month: [(interest component of the note) / number of months in tenor] - 18% of interest component of instalment as service fees - withholding tax payable (where applicable)

last monthly instalment:

​principal invested + [(simple interest earned) / number of months in tenor] - 18% of interest component of instalment as service fees - withholding tax payable (where applicable)

Repayment Status

The status of each note you invested in can be found on the 'Portfolio' page of your account. Scroll down to the note table section of the page to view all of your invested notes and their repayment details.

UPCOMING - repayment is due soon

PAID - paid on time

PARTIAL - paid partially and remainder is still due

EARLY REPAID* - repayment was paid early

LATE - past due, but still within the 7 day grace period

MISS - repayment has missed the due date and 7 day grace period
