Who we are
Funding Societies is the largest SME digital financing and debt investment platform in Southeast Asia.
Our mission is to enable fast and effortless access to funds by bringing SMEs and investors together on our platform.
Since 2015, we have helped a number of small & medium enterprises grow their businesses, and in the process helped individual/institutional investors to grow their portfolios.
The symbol of our brand identity, our logo is a handshake interlocked around a coin, symbolising the formation of a community around the capital. This is inherently what we stand for, the DNA of our existence; building a community between the lenders and borrowers to facilitate the flow of capital to benefit both.
The vibrant colours of the logo represent the energy, enthusiasm and spark we embody. We are a fast, agile, fun-loving, diverse bunch who are always ready to serve and help!
We are committed to improving societies in Southeast Asia, through funding worthy and under-served Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

These 17 goals serve as a blueprint for the world to achieve peace and prosperity for people and the planet, both now and in the future.

Reports
FSMK Economic Impact Report
Of the 73 million MSMEs in Southeast Asia, around 39 million (51%) are either unserved or underserved by financing services - which led to a financing gap of US$272 billion, despite their potential MSMEs to provide significant employment opportunities and contribute tremendously to national Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
