How is billing done?
Our Lending Partners are helpful in terms of billing and maintaining good relationships with your borrowers. They hold regular meetings with groups of borrowers. This method is proven to be effective to collect repayment from borrowers, many of whom do not have a bank account. All payments are incurred in the loan book.
We seek and select Lending Partners with a low NPL rate. Mekar’s Lending Partners do a lot of things, from lending to collecting loan payments for you. In return, they get a share of the payment of interest charges that have been billed.
What is a Lending Partner’s Risk Level?
A Lending Partner’s risk level is a ranking that Mekar gives to our Lending Partners. The risk levels range from “Very Low” to “Very High” and they reflect the risk of institutional default associated with each of Mekar’s Lending Partner. This rating system is designed to help our Lenders quickly identify which loans to consider for their portfolios.
To assess a Lending Partner’s risk level, Mekar performs due diligence on the Lending Partner before working with them, and regularly thereafter. Our due diligence and monitoring process includes, but not limited to:
- A careful analysis of past and current financial performance as measured by its NPL (Non-Performing Loans) ratio, CAR (Capital Adequacy Ratio) and loan loss provision coverage ratio, as well as its profit and loss statement.
- A review of market or business growth, including membership growth and operational expansion.
- An assessment on the implementation of good corporate governance within the institution.
