About Us

Mekar mission is to promote financial inclusion and empower small business owners and individuals to achieve their financial goals. We are committed to providing accessible and innovative financial products and services, leveraging technology to connect global liquidity providers to borrowers in Indonesia. Our focus on Partnership with the best Cooperative in Indonesian has helped us make a positive impact on the lives of our clients and the local community.

MEKAR aims to improve access to finance to micro, small and medium-sized businesses that have a positive economic and social impact in Indonesia. We do this by connecting lenders with businesses needing finance. In doing this, we partner closely with (non-bank) financial institutions with operations in many parts of Indonesia.

MEKAR has received a lending license from OJK with issuance of a decree Number KEP-127/D.05/2019 dated December 13, 2019. MEKAR business activities are closely supervised by and regulated under OJK Regulation No.10/POJK.05/2022 on Information Technology-Based Joint Funding Services to ensure MEKAR legality and compliance with the laws and regulations in Indonesia.

On January 11, 2024, PT Mekar Investama Sampoerna was acquired by Linkki Singapore Pte. Ltd. which led to the change of the company name to PT Mekar Investama Teknologi.

MEKAR uses technology to improve access to finance for small businesses in Indonesia. To achieve this mission, MEKAR engages wealthier Indonesians to finance the less wealthy entrepreneurial Indonesians.

As a small and efficient institution, MEKAR achieves national coverage by working with credit cooperatives, rural banks and financial institutions with a total of around 300 branches across the country. These institutions find, select and pre-fund the businesses. MEKAR selects the least risky borrowers for wealthier Indonesians to finance. This then frees up the capital of the institutions so that more businesses can be financed. mekar.id is the web platform that MEKAR uses for this service.

I wanted my child to graduate, but I didn’t have money to pay the transcript. Then the Cooperative helped me through financing from Mekar. Everything changed: my debt was paid off, and the transcript was redeemed. Now I'm focused on repaying to Mekar. Thanks Mekar.
