Investing In Small Business Loans for Indonesian Women Micropreneurs

Your investments should be profitable. But more importantly, they should align with your values. Your money should help people and businesses grow, drive local economies and create positive social impact, while still working to make more money for you. You can achieve this by investing with Mekar.

Mekar is an Indonesian fintech company that facilitates peer-to-peer lending. The majority (90%) of borrowers in Mekar are women running micro businesses from their home or local market in villages and cities in the largest archipelagic country in the world. Home to 56 million units of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, Indonesia still has a low level of financial inclusion; most MSMEs in the country are deemed unbankable.

You can help them get access to finance by investing with Mekar, a P2P lending platform that is fully registered with and supervised by the Indonesian Financial Services Authority (OJK). Lend to Indonesian micro businesses, earn up to 4.8% per year and enjoy a 100% protection guarantee on your principal.
