What they say about us

Mekar offers wealthy Indonesians the opportunity to directly develop Indonesia.

Putera Sampoerna Funder

I am funding loans via MEKAR so that I can help strengthen Indonesia's MSMEs.

Mulyadi Tjung Funder

MEKAR is the best choice for lenders whose goal is not only to earn some interest on their money but also to help grow MSMEs and micro businesses. Also, in terms of safety, it is better than other Fintech startups out there.

Davis Ray Funder

MEKAR has a good platform and all its features are easy to understand, hopefully MEKAR can continue to support the growth of Indonesian MSMEs. We must support MEKAR because this platform benefits everyone so we can take a step forward together.

Andreas Sihombing Funder

It feels good to be able to help others while earning money. Compared to other P2P platforms, MEKAR is the one where I can get a guarantee for my principal and that makes me feel safe and secure.

Matheus Saniang Naga Siagian Funder

I am funding loans through MEKAR not only because I get to help Indonesian small businesses grow but also because I get to enjoy good returns and security for my money.

Sucipto Funder

Mekar gives us the opportunity to contribute directly to Indonesia's micro, small and medium enterprises. Through Mekar's P2P lending platform we can help the unbankables or those who are in need of funding grow their business. Furthermore, more than just a P2P platform, Mekar facilitates for lenders to visit micro businesses so that we can get to know more about the kind of businesses we are funding.

Agung Noegroho Funder

At first I was hesitant to start funding loans via MEKAR because at that time MEKAR was not yet registered with the Financial Services Authority (OJK), but now that MEKAR is registered with the OJK, I feel confident funding business loans through MEKAR.

Dian Kurniawan Funder

I came to know MEKAR after reading about it in the Kontan tabloid. At first, I funded loans via MEKAR just for the fun of it, just giving it a try because MEKAR does offer a good return, not to mention the principal guarantee. But as it turns out, funding loans in MEKAR has given me many more benefits than just financial returns; it gives us a chance to support the growth of MSMEs all over Indonesia. Furthermore, its professional financial management system gives me more confidence in funding more loans on the MEKAR platform. When I have more money I would like to help more MSMEs through MEKAR. I wish MEKAR success and hope that it will keep giving its best for the growth of Indonesian MSMEs.

Ester Ratih Dwihapsari Funder

At first I was hesitant to start funding business loans via MEKAR so I started with funding just one loan. The experience was superb so I decided to fund more loans. Since then, whenever I have money, I always feel the urge to save my money in MEKAR. Thank you, MEKAR.

Tri Sutrisno Funder

By funding loans via MEKAR, I am getting a higher return than time deposit and creating positive social impact for women. My principal is guaranteed by MEKAR's lending partners.

Maria Magdalena Edi Hardani Funder

Funding loans through MEKAR makes me feel like I am playing a part in improving Indonesia's macro-economy. For lenders, it is important that the country's economy is healthy as it will drive consumption levels and foster great funding opportunities with good returns.

Herry Prakasa Hertanto Funder

The repayments are on time and it makes me very happy to know that my money is helping Indonesian MSMEs that are finding a hard time getting a loan from the bank. During these first three months, the repayments have always been right on schedule.

David Tarihoran Funder

Funding loans in MEKAR gives me a sense of security because MEKAR is the only peer to peer lending platform that offers a guarantee from its partners for our principal. Since the very start, I've never had a problem funding loans in MEKAR; every time I have a question about anything, MEKAR's customer support is always helpful and provides the answer in a satisfactory manner.

PEER-TO-PEER LENDING IN MEKAR

The peer-to-peer lending system in Mekar makes funding business loans safe and profitable both for the lenders and the borrowers.

In peer-to-peer lending, individuals can borrow and lend money through an online service that connects lenders and borrowers. The advantage of this system to lenders is that they can potentially get higher returns than if they have kept their money in a savings or time deposit account or any other savings product offered in a bank.

Borrowers can also benefit from a peer-to-peer lending and crowdfunding system by getting a lower interest rate for their loans, compared to the rates imposed by other funding sources. A peer-to-peer lending company in Indonesia like Mekar provides these borrowers, small business owners who typically lack access to bank loans, with the opportunity to secure the funding they need to grow their business.

Mekar uses the peer-to-peer concept to ensure more effective and efficient lending activities. Mekar functions as an online marketplace where lenders and borrowers meet, thus facilitating business funding in an easy, safe, convenient and profitable way.

FUNDING SMALL BUSINESS LOANS VIA MEKAR

Ready to start funding small business loans and earn returns?
With Mekar, you can get a profit of up to 12.5% or an average of 10% annually (before tax and, for holders of a non-Indonesian bank account, excluding transfer fees and inflation risks). You have plenty to choose from Mekar’s extensive list of micro loans to fund. All of our borrowers have undergone a stringent vetting process so you can fund their loans comfortably with minimum risks.

WHY FUND LOANS TO INDONESIAN SMALL BUSINESSES VIA MEKAR?

- Make a Change: Your funding helps small businesses grow, stimulates the economy and brings prosperity to Indonesian people.

- Attractive Returns: An average of 10% and up to 12.5% annually, higher than bank savings or time deposit interest rates.

- Protection Guaranteed: 100% of your principal is guaranteed.

- Credit Insurance: Extra protection for your money, available for select loans.

- Diversified Portfolio: We offer you loans from various business sectors across the country to fund.

GROW YOUR MONEY

Don’t let your money sit in the bank. If you have been saving your money in a bank savings account or a time deposit, you might want to reconsider that decision. A savings account gives you 0-2% in interest a year, sometimes even no interest at all, and a time deposit only offers a return of 4.5-6.5% a year. By choosing these savings instruments, you have limited your maximum potential yield, especially if you factor the inflation rate into the equation.

An online opportunity to fund business loans with a peer-to-peer system such as the one offered by Mekar will give you higher returns, up to 12.5% per year. It is also a much easier way to grow your money than putting it in instruments such as shares or property.

Trading stocks can be time consuming as you have to first research the hundreds of different companies that are trading in the stock market before you can decide which one to buy. You will also need to watch the stocks’ movement on the stock chart on a daily basis. And don’t forget, stocks are very volatile.

On the other hand, buying a property to let requires a huge amount of money and you may need to spend months to find the right property to buy.

Here at Mekar you can find an easier, safer, more flexible and more profitable way to grow your money. Start funding loans via Mekar now and you will help small businesses in Indonesia grow.
