More about Capital Match
Capital Match’s business model is similar to that of popular P2P lending platforms such as US-based LendingClub and Prosper, UK’s Zopa and Funding Circle. Capital Match provides each investor with an online account where they can view available loan listings, make investments and monitor their loan book.
The company’s objectives are two-fold: Provide businesses with the next best interest rates after banks, and to give investors access to attractive returns for their spare capital with a low investment entry amount (S$1,000 per loan). A typical loan sizes range from S$50,000 to S$200,000, with tenures of 3-12 months, and interest rate of 1.5% – 2.5% per month.
