CapBay Partners With TheLorry to Offer Financing for SME Lorry Drivers
by Fintech News Malaysia May 29, 2020CapBay, P2P Supply Chain Financing platform registered with Securities Commission Malaysia, announced a collaboration with TheLorry their “Express Financing” Program. The program is said to be tailored to the logistics industry and is aimed at increasing accessibility of digital financing solutions to TheLorry’s SME base.
With this, they said lorry drivers can easily apply for collateral-free financing upfront and defer toll expenses up to 60 days later. CapBay has seen a spike in financing volumes in recent weeks for the Express Financing program as there has been increased activity in the logistics sector driven by a switch to e-commerce in light of Covid-19 risks.
Through the collaboration, CapBay is able to access over 10,000 driver partners on TheLorry platform, most of which are underserved by traditional banks and have very limited access to financing. CapBay enables fast and seamless onboarding with simplified credit checks, made possible using track record available from TheLorry’s platform marketplace. This means that even lorry drivers with poor credit score can enjoy favourable financing rates.
