  • What happens if infund goes out of business?
    infund has put in place comprehensive arrangements so that in the event that infund goes out of business, the notes that have been successfully issued on the platform will be unaffected and investors will continue to receive their monthly repayments. As investors are financing directly to businesses, the parties to the note are between the Investors and the Issuers. These contracts remain in place and are unaffected. infund has entered into a backup servicing arrangement to transfer the servicing functions of all outstanding notes to provide continuity in the event that infund becomes insolvent. In the event of business cessation by infund, a written notice shall be published to all Issuers and Payees of existing Notes on the takeover by the designated backup service provider. The backup service provider shall be entitled to charge each Payee a service fee, on such periodic basis as notified to the Payees. Service fees charged shall not exceed the level of investor servicing fee charged by infund previously. The backup service provider will carry out the following activities: Maintain an account under a licensed financial institution in Singapore, for the purpose of receiving and holding the monies of the Issuers and Payees of existing Notes. Consolidating monthly installments from the Issuers and making payments to the registered bank accounts of the Payees of existing Notes at the end of every three (3) months.

  • As an Investor, why should I consider investing my monies on your platform?
    As infund has been accorded a full Capital Market Services (CMS) license by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) since November 2016, you can be assured that you are dealing with a regulated entity by the government. An entity regulated by MAS is assessed to be competent and capable of meeting the high regulatory standards required by the latter. As an Investor, you are able to invest in any investment campaign on the infund platform from as little as S$100. This allows you to diversify your investment monies across many different campaigns. As we have a diverse base of Issuers, we are able to offer our investors the opportunity to diversify their investment portfolio by investing in businesses that operate in a variety of industries (e.g. wholesale and retail trade, construction, manufacturing, information, and communications, etc.). At infund, we believe in revealing the identity and background of our issuers who are raising capital through our platform so that Investors could make an informed investment decision. Before our Investors invest their monies into any investment campaign, they will be provided with the essential background information on the Issuer, which includes its business profile (e.g. business name, date of incorporation, business registration number, paid-up capital, registered address, etc.), the Issuer’s purpose of taking the loan, and the important financial ratios of the Issuer for the past two years, etc. Investing in the infund platform is less costly as compared to investing in other similar crowdlending platforms. We charge a competitive investor service fee that is pegged to 1% of all repayment received as compared to the other platforms that typically charge a fee of 15%-20% of interest earned. With lower investment costs, you can potentially earn higher investment returns on our platform.
  • Will I as an Investor be able to sell the investment(s) that I’ve made on the platform to other infund’s Investor(s)?
    Unfortunately, we do not have a secondary market for investors to sell their investments. Investors should be prepared to hold their investment(s) until maturity.
  • What are the opportunities available for me to grow my wealth as an Investor through infund's platform?
    infund’s platform connects Issuers (SMEs) and Investors like yourself to help the Issuers (SMEs) to grow their business. Meanwhile, as an Investor, you have the opportunity to invest in them and earn an effective interest rate of 6% to 24% per annum.
  • How does the Investor Service Fee work?
    Take for instance an investor who had invested in an unsecured business loan investment campaign and the issuer has a repayment of S$1,000. The net amount of repayment that the investor will receive in this case will be S$990 after accounting for an Investor Servicing Fee of S$10 (i.e. 1% of S$1,000). The computation can be broken down as follows: Total repayment amount made by issuer: S$1,000 Total Investor Servicing Fee payable: S$10 (S$1,000 x 1%) Net repayment amount received by investor: S$990 (S$1,000-S$10) The Investor Servicing Fee will only be charged when a repayment is made by the Issuer, and will not be charged upfront at the time that the investor makes the investment.
  • Is my money safe?
    All members’ monies are held in a separate account under OCBC. Aside from the minimum balance (funded by infund to avoid unnecessary bank charges), at no time will the funds of infund co-mingle with members’ monies. Members’ monies are not used in any of our business operations. There will be a yearly certification performed by an appointed auditor that the members’ monies and infund’s funds are kept separated and do not contain discrepancies.
  • Is infund regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS)?
    infund operates with a full Capital Markets Services License (MAS License No: CMS-100568-1) and is regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. The License was awarded on November 11, 2016. The license enables infund to credibly provide opportunities to Retail Investors, High Net Worth Individuals, and Private Funds to access a new asset category of SME loans by applying a full range of exemptions under the Securities and Futures Act. This includes the offering of securities to investors under the Small Offers and Private Placement exemptions.
  • Are investments made contractually binding?
    Yes. A contract will be issued through the platform where Issuer and Investors are contractual parties to it. infund is not a party to the contract. These contract notes are enforceable in Singapore. Each contract is formed after a process of offer and acceptance occurring electronically on the platform.
  • What is the contractual agreement between Investors and the Issuer (SME)?
    When the Issuer (SME) accepts the offers, a provisional contract is formed between the Issuers and each allocated investor. Both the Issuer and Investors are bound by the terms of the contract note executed in this manner, having endorsed the platform’s terms and conditions. Once the final note has been endorsed by the Issuer, an email confirmation will be sent to the Issuer and allocated Investors. The details will also be updated on each respective account.
  • Is it possible that I have the list of defaulted SMEs?
    Unfortunately, we are unable to reveal the list of defaulted SMEs as the information is strictly confidential.

  • Are the notes secured against any collateral?
    All secured business loans are secured against collateral. In the event that the business is unable to fulfill its loan repayment obligations, infund will be able to sell or receive payment on the collateral and make repayments to Investors. As a mandatory requirement, the financial value of the pledged collateral must be greater than the total loan amount that the business wishes to obtain. For unsecured business loans, it is not pledged against any physical collateral. While not technically collateral, directors of the Business are required to provide personal/ corporate guarantees on their loan. In invoice financing, no assignment or transfer of the invoice is carried out. Instead, the invoice provides an indication that the SME is likely to receive an inflow of cash (i.e. the payment from the SME’s customer) on the payment date of the invoice, which will, in turn, provide cash for the SME to repay the invoice financing loan. Moreover, the directors of the Business are required to provide personal/corporate guarantees on the financed invoice.

No other Investors will be able to see your real name or details, and note contracts are not disclosed, (other than to an Issuer) unless required by Singapore law or regulation.
  • How does the Investor Service Fee charged by infund compare with other crowdlending platforms in Singapore?
    infund’s Investor Servicing Fee of 1% of repayments is lower compared to the 15% of interest typically charged by other crowdlending platforms in Singapore. The table below shows the fees charged by our platform, in comparison to other crowdlending platforms. The reason why infund charges a Servicing Fee on repayments instead of interest, is because the amount of resources required to administer the repayments are not affected by the interest rate.

  • How can I spread or mitigate my investment risks on infund’s platform?
    We strongly encourage our Investors to diversify their investment portfolio across different investment campaigns and also across different SMEs operating in various industries. We will like to highlight that all forms of investments carry risks, including the risk of losing all of the invested amounts. Such activities may not be suitable for everyone.
  • What kind of returns can I expect and how are the investment return rates being determined?
    For secured, unsecured business loans and invoice financing, you can expect a target interest rate between 8% to 24% per annum. There are two types of allocation mechanisms that determine investment returns: 1) First-Come-First-Served – the interest rate is pre-determined by a prospective issuer where the interest rate is fixed on a matched note. 2) Auction – a market-driven approach that determines the final interest rate that is assigned to each matched note. A prospective issuer first indicates the target rate he is willing to pay. As an investor, you state your desired rate of return. If your offered rate is higher than the prospective issuer’s target rate, your offer is not eligible and cannot be accepted. Whether your offer is selected for acceptance depends on how competitive your offer is vis-à-vis other eligible offers. Only the lowest interest rate offers that cumulatively and eligibly satisfy the prospective issuer’s requested amount is selected for acceptance. The final rate assigned to all allocated offers shall be the highest rate in the selected pool, but not higher than the target rate.
