Funding Societies signs third credit facility with HSBC

Funding Societies, a digital finance platform for MSMEs in Southeast Asia, has signed a third credit facility agreement with HSBC.

This agreement under the ASEAN Growth Fund raises the total commitment to over US$100 million since 2022.

HSBC’s support intends to expand Funding Societies’ capability to provide credit access to underserved MSMEs in the region.

Despite banking improvements, there is still a US$2.5 trillion credit gap for small businesses in the Asia-Pacific.
