KUALA LUMPUR, 8 March 2021 – Funding Societies Malaysia, the largest SME digital financing platform in Southeast Asia celebrates half a decade of uplifting underserved MSMEs across the nation, as it kicks off its themed-campaign ‘Arise and Thrive’ or Bangkit Bersinar.

Making use of multi-media channels from website, emails, to social media, the fintech platform’s fifth anniversary promotional campaign celebrates its achievements in serving thousands of valued micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) and investors. Reflecting on the meaning of the phrase ‘Arise and Thrive’, Funding Societies remains committed to its mission of empowering societies in Southeast Asia by creating financial opportunities for everyone.

The anniversary campaign features exclusive promotions for both MSMEs and investors' customers. MSME customers stand to win up to RM888 worth of e-vouchers for successful business referrals. Not only benefitting its own client base, Funding Societies is also rewarding the public up to RM1,000 when they refer businesses to grow with its SME digital financing solutions. Investors, too, stand a chance to win attractive referral rewards with additional bonus when they refer a minimum five friends to invest with the platform during the campaign period*.

Founded in 2017, Funding Societies Malaysia was established to financially uplift both the underserved and unserved MSME segment who make up the backbone of the nation’s economy. Five years into its establishment in Malaysia, Funding Societies Malaysia has accomplished impressive feats and milestones, both on the MSMEs and investors’ front.
