Learn About Mekar

This all you have to know about funding on Mekar

Mekar is an Indonesian fintech peer-to-peer lending company. Mekar makes it possible for people and organisations to finance small business borrowers throughout Indonesia via the Mekar website. We are able to service small businesses across Indonesia because we work together with the financially strongest credit cooperatives in Indonesia. Our aim is to improve access to finance for small businesses across Indonesia. Mekar is the trade name for the limited liability company PT Mekar Investama Teknologi. Mekar means ‘blossom’ in Indonesian.
 

Peer-to-peer (P2P) lending is the practice of lending money through an online platform such as Mekar that matches lenders with borrowers. P2P lending is the same as ‘crowdfunding’ or ‘marketplace lending'. It means that your money is being used to finance the loan that you have selected, person-to-person. P2P lending and crowdfunding also means that a ‘crowd’ of many lenders can finance one borrower.

Mekar was established in November 2010, and in September 2017 shifted the focus to become a provider of technology-based peer-to-peer lending services (Peer to Peer Lending). Mekar is led by Pandu Aditya Kristy (CEO) and Mahwi Winarto (Director).

  1. Mekar works with the best credit cooperatives in Indonesia.
  2. 90% of Mekar’s loans are to micro-enterprises run by women. Repayments on these loans are more reliable. 
  3. Mekar regularly monitors our Lending Partners and borrowers.
  4. MEKAR give loan facilities to small businesses to support the unbankable sector and opens up job opportunities within its area. 
  5. Mekar finances businesses all over Indonesia. This is made possible by its collaboration with Credit Cooperatives that have branches in all regions of Indonesia.

In Indonesia, banks provide finance to less than 20% of the businesses that need it. 80% are either served by friends, family and loan sharks. Mekar aims to make access to finance for growing businesses possible without the need of growing a large branch network. That is why Mekar works with carefully selected local financial institutions so that your funds go to where businesses need it most.
 

Yes. PT Mekar Investama Teknologi (Mekar) is a legal entity established under the jurisdiction of the Republic of Indonesia. Mekar is an Information Technology-Based Lending Service Provider (Peer-to-Peer Lending) that has been registered and supervised by the Indonesian Financial Services Authority (OJK), as stipulated in the Registration Letter from OJK Number: S-237/NB.213/2018 dated March 20, 2018. Mekar has also received a lending license from the OJK with the issuance of a decree number KEP-127/D.05/2019 on December 13, 2019.

Mekar’s business activities are closely supervised and regulated under OJK Regulation No.77/POJK.01/2016 on Information Technology-Based Lending Services to ensure Mekar's legality and compliance with the laws and regulations in Indonesian.

Mekar charges the Lending Partner, not the lender, for every loan sold. Mekar will generally charge between 1% and 3% of the funds disbursed to them.

Mekar means to blossom. The three colours in our logo symbolize the collaboration between three stakeholders namely lenders, agents and entrepreneurs. These “three hands” can be found in all Sampoerna Family company logos. The yellow in the logo represents Mekar’s staff and technology, which are the two things that unite it all. Together we blossom, Mekar bersama.
