Fostering growth for SMEs
The SME MarketPlace is targeted to enable financial inclusion for SMEs and let entrepreneurs start trade even without own capital. Starting from this core value proposition, the SME MarketPlace is the foundation for a true trading platform, where all participants in the value chain are brought onto a single platform to create an entire ecosystem to service the SME economy. It essentially creates a closed loop trading environment for B2B2C.
The MarketPlace offers a environment in which SMEs can apply for access to an unsecured
line of credit. There can be multiple types of lenders backing the service, including traditional financial institutions, microfinance institutions, government, P2P lenders or investors.

For banks and FIs ready to upgrade their payments platforms to maintain pace with customer demand, it can appear that ‘rip and replace’ is the only option.
