Credit Culture launches personal lending platform

Loan applications and credit verification will be done online.

Malaysian-funded Singapore fintech startup Credit Culture, a subsidiary of Dey Private Limited, launched its online lending platform, becoming the first licensee amongst the six entities that are part of a pilot by the Ministry of Law on new business models for personal loans.

Credit Culture enables customers to auto-populate an application form using government sites like MyInfo and uses this data to assess the creditworthiness of a customer instantly. Personalised rates are offered and upon face-to-face verification at Credit Culture’s office, funds are transferred instantly.

The lending platform will offer rates capped at 1% per month and remove high late interest and extra charges for early settlement.

Credit Culture just clinched a US$40m funding from Malaysian-listed investment holding company, RCE Capital Berhad back in January.
