Direct peers

• CapBay: Malaysian fintech offering supply chain financing and SME working capital solutions with digital onboarding. Comparable Malaysian SME digital credit platform.

• Aspire: Singapore-headquartered digital financing platform for SMEs across Southeast Asia offering credit lines, working capital, and embedded finance. Comparable digital-first SME credit model targeting similar SMB pain points.
• KoinWorks: Indonesian fintech providing SME financing, working capital, and invoice-based lending across Southeast Asia. Comparable digital SME credit model, though primary market is Indonesia.
• Validus Capital: Singapore-based SME financing platform extending into Malaysia and other SEA markets, offering working capital loans to SMEs. Comparable in product mix and target borrower profile.
• Funding Societies: Leading Southeast Asian digital SME financing platform operating in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. Direct competitor offering short-term working capital and term loans to underserved SMEs with a similar digital, fast-disbursement model.
