✓ MSMEs can obtain up to RM100,000 in financing through ‘Capital Plus’ by Boost Credit at a low profit rate of 1.2% per month with a 3-month moratorium.
✓ Boost Biz merchants can expect fast-tracked applications and approvals within minutes of applying.
Kuala Lumpur, 3 February 2022 – As part of its efforts to continue supporting MSMEs in their recovery journey, Boost, the fintech arm of Axiata is making available financing that offers MSMEs up to RM100,000 through ‘Capital Plus’, financed through its market leading digital lending subsidiary Boost Credit (formerly Aspirasi).
‘Capital Plus’ is a Shariah-compliant micro-financing facility based on Commodity Murabahah, ideal for MSMEs. It offers financing from as low as RM1,000 up to RM100,000 over a 15-month tenure at a low profit rate of 1.2% per month, with no repayment of principal for the first three (3) months. MSMEs do not need any guarantor or collaterals to apply for this financing.
For the merchants on the Boost platform who apply for ‘Capital Plus’, they will enjoy a seamless application process not taking more than 10 minutes and funds being disbursed within 48 hours which has become the hallmark of the Boost Credit offering.
According to the SME Association of Malaysia, as the country progresses into the endemic phase, cash flow remains a pressing concern for MSMEs as businesses recover and resume operations.
Sheyantha Abeykoon, CEO of Boost expressed, “The pandemic has posed many challenges for MSMEs to continue running their businesses. For most MSMEs, the challenge of maintaining steady cashflow weighs heavily on their minds. In this recovery process, we believe that it takes a collective effort. We are committed to being a reliable partner for our merchants and underserved MSMEs in the country in easing their financial burdens by increasing access to affordable financing.”
“One of the key aspects we have incorporated into ‘Capital Plus’ is a three-month moratorium for MSMEs. We hope that MSMEs will find this micro-financing facility helpful in giving a boost to their recovery journey and provide them the much-needed capital to re-start their businesses,” added Sheyantha.
Boost Biz merchants can conveniently apply in under 10 minutes through the Boost Biz merchant app by tapping on “Do More” followed by the “Financing” tile. Alternatively, merchants can contact their assigned Boost representatives to find out more about ‘Capital Plus’. More information can also be found at https://www.myboost.com.my/business/features/capital-plus-by-boost-credit/.
If eligible, MSMEs who apply will receive approval with funds disbursed within 48 hours (two working days) directly into their bank account.
In conjunction with the Lunar New year, from now until 28 February 2022, the first 100 Boost Biz merchants who successfully apply for and receive a minimum financing amount of RM10,000 with ‘Capital Plus’ will earn an extra RM100 cashback under the ‘Huat More with Boost Biz’ campaign. This cashback will be credited directly into the merchant’s registered bank account. Terms and conditions apply.
