Event: B2B Finpal’s Issuer Preview Seminar
Date: 12 – 13 April 2017

Ahead of our launch, we hosted our Issuer Preview session on 12-13 April 2017 with a group of SME owner. The event has been successfully conducted and we received constructive feedback from the participants.

This Seminar organised by  the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA), explores the various grants made available by the Malaysian government and other alternative avenues of financial assistance, as well as the application procedures for securing these sources of financing. Presented by senior officials from various government organisations and other agencies, the seminar will allow SMEs obtain the latest and credible guidance to securing finance.

Mr Er Chiang Chuan, Head of Business Development and Operations of B2B Finpal was one of the guest speakers invited to take part in the event to share the information on P2P Lending.

MALAYSIA became the first country in Southeast Asia to regulate P2P financing, after the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) has introduced six registered peer-to-peer (P2P) financing platform operators in Malaysia.

The six registered P2P operators are B2B Finpal, Ethis Kapital, FundedByMe Malaysia, ManagedPay Services, Modalku Ventures and Peoplender. These companies are expected to be operational in 2017.

The SC said that the plan to introduce the six P2P operators is to give more funding avenues for enterpreneurs and small and medium enterprises (SME), and to help narrow the financing gap in the SME sector.
