Through this referral scheme programme, Funding Societies is able to provide financing access to SMEs to support their post-pandemic recovery.”
Amongst the notable key features of the Referral Scheme (an Accounts Payable Financing category product) includes:
Extended credit terms for SME buyers and accelerated payment for MUFG’s corporate clients
Credit made available to SMEs to fund and purchase their goods & services from MUFG’s corporate clients, extending their ability to purchase at a higher volume and improving their margins
Funding Societies’ proprietary digital Supply Chain Financing platform, ‘Silk Road’, which offers fast turnaround time and hassle free online experience to the SMEs in Malaysia.
MUFG CEO/Country Head of Malaysia, Fumio Takamatsu said “At MUFG, we firmly believe in the importance of digitalisation in empowering a brighter and more sustainable future. This collaboration between MUFG and Funding Societies also represents a unique opportunity to deepen connections within the business community and should be seen as a profound solution to further support both MUFG’s corporate clients as well as up-and-coming enterprises in a post-pandemic future.”
