Modal Rakyat Has Distributed Financing to MSMEs worth IDR 1 Trillion

Modal Rakyat noted that they have channeled financing of more than IDR 1 trillion to more than 5,000 micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia over the past three years. The distribution of financing can be achieved, among others, thanks to the support of the public who are increasingly active in funding MSMEs through Modal Rakyat.

In addition, collaborations and partnerships with banking institutions and business partners also have a positive impact. Several financial institutions that have become Institutional Funders in the fintech lending service provider are Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI), BRI Agro, Bank Mandiri, BPR Masyarakat Mandiri, and several other institutions.

“This achievement further confirms that the mutual assistance funding system can fill gaps in the financing industry. This is also an encouragement for us to be able to participate more in the financing market share,” said Hendoko, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Modal Rakyat.

Based on the financing sector, since its inception in 2018, as much as 49.07 percent of Modal Rakyat financing has been channeled to MSMEs in the Information Technology sector, 26.97 percent in trade, and the rest is spread in other sectors such as construction, logistics, micro (credit agents), textiles, agriculture, advertising, and others.

Become a Lender Start from IDR 25,000

In an effort to invite the community to work together to finance MSMEs, donors (the community) can also fund starting from IDR 25,000 through applications on Android and IOS. This nominal value is expected to make it easier for all groups to get involved, especially those who already have an Identity Card (KTP).

In the medium and long term, we hope this will have a positive impact on Indonesia’s economic growth,” said Wafa Taftazani, President Commissioner in Modal Rakyat.

Strategic Partnership with Various Companies

In addition, the integration of the BNI Lender Fund Account (RDL) has also been implemented as a safe fund collection facility for lenders and a significant increase in access speed from the use of mobile applications.
