Singapore P2P Lender BRDGE: Flexible financing key to SME survival during pandemic-driven business uncertainty; launches F&B loans package and SME digitalisation platform

  • BRDGE funded more than S$ 11m in loans to 46 Singapore SMEs since April 2020; across more industries as compared to a similar period pre-pandemic
  • Average loan size today is S$352,000 compared to S$836,000 pre-pandemic, a decrease of 58% alluding to focus on cashflow for rising costs around rent and labour instead of growth
  • In response to uncertainty around dining-in, BRDGE launches new F&B loans packaged with interest rates from less than as 1% per month for between three to six months, with a lowered credit assessment criteria matched to changing dining in rules in the past three to six months
  • Part of BRDGE’s focus on Singapore SME Survival during COVID-19, together with efforts around digitalisation through its e-commerce mobile app B Mart

BRDGE Technology (BRDGE), an MAS licensed Peer-to-Peer lending platform launched in 2014, today announced the launch of a food and beverage (F&B) financing package specially catered to support Singapore’s Food and Beverage (F&B) Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the current pandemic-driven uncertainty around dining-in. The loans package, with affordable interest rates from less than 1% per month and a short tenure of three-to-six-months, is specially designed to help establishments survive and potentially thrive during this period when cashflow is of importance for salaries and rentals.

One unique aspect of the F&B BRDGE loan is the credit assessment process, which takes the challenging business landscape into account with a lowered and targeted criteria on credit assessment: BRDGE will assess only the latest three-to-six months of the SME’s recent cashflow, bank statements and bank balance, matched against the changing dining-in rules, to identify F&B businesses which are able to survive and thrive.

BRDGE offers funding support for SMEs that are non-bankable or unable to secure a loan from traditional financial institutions. Most of the time it is due to a less than two-year track record or small annual revenues, or have maxed their credit facilities or who require a Bridging Loan. BRDGE then carries out an assessment and matches SMEs with potential investors.

Mr Kevin Wong, CEO, BRDGE Technology, said, “The government has been extremely supportive with the various grants and packages for businesses and their employees in Singapore since the start of the pandemic, and the community has also continued their support to Singapore SMEs. However, with the recently announced extension of the stabilisation phase, Singapore businesses, specifically F&B establishments which depend very much on dining-in for their revenues, continue to be pressured by thinner margins, tight cashflow, and the rising cost of rent and labour. With group sizes for dining-in having been adjusted more than 10 times since April 2020, F&B businesses are faced with continued uncertainty and many are on the brink of survival. This loan package is designed to help them survive and potentially thrive in the short term, with a more relevant assessment process grounded in the very different business reality today.”

Cashflow a priority for SMEs during COVID-19
Since the start of the pandemic in April 2020 till today, BRDGE has funded more than 46 SMEs with more than S$ 11m in loans. As compared to a similar period pre-pandemic (April 2019 to April 2020), there has been a distinct reduction of 58% to the average loan size per borrower from S$352,000 vs S$836,000, alluding to a shift in borrowing for growth pre-pandemic, to survival during the pandemic with cash used to maintain operational costs.

More SMEs has also requested for funding since April 2020, at 46 against 17 pre-pandemic, with companies from industries such as Arts, Entertainment and Recreation, Health and Medical, Marine and Shipping, and Beauty and Wellness, requesting for loans.

Kevin added, “As the pandemic continues, more and more businesses are facing problems maintaining cashflow. We’re also seeing a fundamental shift in the reasons for getting loans. Where previously companies were discussing funding to help them grow or expand, today we are speaking to business owners who are concerned about surviving to the next month. The government and consumers are surely doing their part to help businesses survive, but every little bit helps and this relook at how we assess loans is one part of our commitment to the Singapore business community.”

As part of its efforts to tide SMEs through this challenging period, BRDGE also recently started developing B Mart, a new e-commerce mobile app that is designed to help SMEs in Singapore digitalise and find new customers online. On the platform now are more than 7 businesses with over 500 SKUs representing B2B industries such as Creative and Marketing and B2C businesses such as Food & Beverages, Beauty & Health, Fashion, etc. BRDGE plans to increase this to 2,000 SKUs by the end of the year, with all 237 BRDGE’s SME borrowers since 2014 being able to tap on this platform. All applicants of today’s F&B BRDGE loans can have access to the platform and will be able to tap on the BRDGE online delivery app at a fixed and competitive 5% commission rate to help lower operational costs.

F&B businesses can apply for the BRDGE F&B loan via the BRDGE website: https://register.brdge.tech/fandb-smes, while investors who are seeking to support local businesses can find out more here https://register.brdge.tech/fandb-investor or register themselves on the BRDGE website.

SME owners who are interested in listing their products on the B Mart app to grow their customer base and business can get in touch with BRDGE directly at admin@bmart.sg.

Diversifi in Partnership with Cloverly Launched Green Crypto for Institutions

Diversifi, the first tech-driven crypto risk management platform for institutions, and Cloverly, a sustainability-as-a-service platform, cooperate on helping the crypto industry offset its environmental footprint. Diversifi automatically offsets the carbon footprint of crypto holders by calculating the carbon footprint and utilizing Cloverly?s carbon offset API. The offset addresses the impact of Bitcoin mining, Ether mining, and smart contracts execution, including minting NFTs.

“We remove the complexities from the process. We want crypto investment to be a safe, positive and responsible thing: we provide ways to hedge against risk and protect against losses without affecting the environment. No other company offers that,” says Eitan Katz, the CEO at Diversifi.

The service is available through the Diversifi platform dashboard. Users need to specify the amounts (BTC or ETH) they want to offset. The Diversifi platform calculates the costs and executes via the Cloverly API.

“The Cloverly team is very excited to be working with Diversifi. Combining crypto and sustainability is a much needed offering due to the energy-intensive nature of this industry. Diversifi are clearly thought-leaders in their space by bringing this offering to market.”

We welcome the shift of miners to more usage of renewable energy, as well as the move to less polluting consensus mechanisms (i.e. PoS). In the meantime, we invite every HODLer, trader, asset manager and miner to invest responsibly in more sustainable cryptocurrency. Funds, corporates, asset managers, family offices could already use the new service. To celebrate the launch, and for a limited period of time, Diversifi will not incur any additional fees other than the fees charged by its partners. The service is available today in every jurisdiction. Contact us to get access to it: diversi.fi.

American Blockchain PAC Launches to Advance Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Innovation in America

The American Blockchain Political Action Committee (PAC) has officially launched its goal to raise $300 million dollars to advance and support present and future innovation of digital assets and blockchain in the United States.

The American Blockchain PAC seeks to advance American innovation and dominance by challenging all proposed federal legislation, including the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (2021), that would place regressive taxation onto cryptocurrency exchanges, digital asset transfers, miners, node operators, Bitcoin ATM operators, and software developers.

“As federal officials seek policy methodologies to navigate how public blockchain platforms and innovators should be regulated, the American Blockchain PAC will serve as a critical source of knowledge and information for donors and decision-makers on issues impacting this ecosystem,” American Blockchain PAC Founder Todd White said.

“There are several key initiatives the PAC will be steering, such as leading efforts to build a vanguard of new Congressional candidates and reelecting officials who believe in and support cryptocurrency-blockchain innovation and transformation,” said American Blockchain Super PAC Chief Executive Officer Adelle Nazarian.

“To win the future, America needs blockchain legislation that promotes innovation while keeping abuse in check,” said American Blockchain PAC Board of Directors Advisor Dr. W. Scott Stornetta. Stornetta — considered by many to be a founding father of the blockchain — added, “donating my time to help Congressional leaders better understand the value-creating potential of blockchain is, in my mind, a civic responsibility.”

The American Blockchain PAC is on the frontlines of protecting and mainstreaming the most effective uses of blockchain and digital assets in America. Leadership is headed by Founder Todd August White; Chief Executive Officer Adelle Nazarian; Dr. W. Scott Stornetta, who serves as a pro bono advisor to the Board of Directors; and Kevin Mehrabi of Tezos, and Ariel Jalali, who serve as advisors to the hybrid PAC.

Money, Inflation, and Debt

Congress just passed a $1.2 trillion spending package, aimed at mending the US roads and transport infrastructure.

Democrats claim the bill pays for itself through a variety of sources without raising taxes. But the Congressional Budget Office reported that the bill would add $256 billion to the deficit over the next 10 years. If taxes are not raised, where is the money coming from?

The CBO stated that the bill would raise about $50 billion by changing the tax reporting requirements for cryptocurrencies, among other measures. That would be half a billion per year out of a global market cap of $2.9Trillion. Other sources for the infrastructure bill will include unspent stimulus money. That stimulus money was created by adding $14 Trillion to the money supply. In one year.

Confused?
In a post-pandemic world, businesses are facing the money, inflation, and debt circle, inspiring many to put their reserves into crypto. How will the tax reporting requirement changes affect businesses that interact with cryptocurrency? How will these requirements affect the individual? Will this new debt erode the value of the dollar?

This January, the Government Blockchain Association (GBA), will present The Future of Money, Governance, & the Law, live in Washington DC., and streamed globally. Topics will include:
– Cryptocurrency Adoption and Projection
– Redefining Money
– Money, Inflation & Debt
– Tokenomics & Crypto-Governance
– State and Local Government and Blockchain
– National and International Government and Blockchain
– Blockchain Regulations/Licensing/NFTs
– Legal and Regulatory Issues
– Banking and CBDCs

And much more..
Join the GBA community this January 27-28, live in Washington, D.C., or streamed globally, and learn how to navigate the changes that are coming. Tickets are on sale now.

PlayPad Integrates Blockpass for Augmented KYC

Blockpass is excited to reveal its most recent integration with IDO platform PlayPad. This effort will see Blockpass providing its enhanced solution for KYC, with a dedicated KYC remediation team, multiple reviews per identity, manual checks on selected profiles and spot reviews.

PlayPad is a fully decentralized launchpad protocol in the metaverse which specifically targets Games and NFT centered projects with a ‘Tiers’ system that aims to create a fairer IDO process. Supporting VR, Gaming & Play2Earn projects in the metaverse, PlayPad offers multi-chain support, working with the Binance Smart Chain and Avalanche ecosystem, in addition to the Ethereum, Polygon, and Phantom networks.

Blockpass is a digital identity verification provider which provides a one-click compliance gateway to financial services and other regulated industries. Through Blockpass, users can create, store, and manage a data-secure digital identity that can be used for an entire ecosystem of services, token purchases and access to regulated industries. For businesses and merchants, Blockpass is a comprehensive KYC & AML SaaS that requires no integration and no setup cost. You can set up a service in minutes, test the service for free and start verifying and on-boarding users. Currently with more than 200,000 verified user identity profiles, Blockpass facilitates instant onboarding, and to date thousands of businesses have taken advantage of this opportunity to get access to users with reusable digital identity profiles.

“PlayPad has shown how seriously they take regulation and compliance by electing to use Blockpass and the turnkey managed service opportunity.” said Adam Vaziri, Blockpass CEO. “It’s reassuring to know that the next generation of VR, Gaming and Play2Earn – which represents a significant source of income or entertainment for many – is being developed by those who hold safety, security and identity in high regard.”

“It has been very important for us to find the right solution partner since the beginning of our project. Blockpass has taken the security of both us and our members to a high level with the KYC solution it offers in every aspect. All our members who have completed KYC can easily participate in all IGOs on PlayPad. We appreciate Blockpass Team effort.” said PlayPad CEO.

Blockpass has grown significantly in size and use since its inception, both in the number and range of users and organizations it has partnered with and the scope of its work. Blockpass continues to develop its digital identity protocol with updates and additions to improve the compliance experience. The existential need for DeFi projects to be regulatory compliant and the recent integrations have led to a surge in interest for Blockpass’ On-chain KYC(TM) solution which promises to change the way blockchains enable compliance. Through its recent work with Animoca Brands, Blockpass is developing the ability to provide KYC where the delivery of the verification result is provably sent and shown on a blockchain without sharing the underlying data. This represents a significant step towards the future Blockpass hopes to bring about where identity verification can be proved without revealing any personal information at all.

About Blockpass
Blockpass, the pioneer of On-chain KYC(TM), is a fast, fully comprehensive KYC & AML screening software-as-a-service for blockchains, Crypto, Defi and other regulated industries. With Blockpass, you get an unmatched set of benefits for any compliance service that includes pay-as-you-go, no setup cost, no integration necessary, free testing, immediate launch and at the lowest cost. Blockpass’ KYC Connect(TM) platform enables businesses to select requirements for customer onboarding that can include ID authentication, face-matching, address checking, AML ongoing monitoring and/or screening of sanctions lists, politically exposed persons (PEP), and adverse media. Through Blockpass, end-users easily create a verified portable identity that they can control and re-use to onboard with any service instantly.

About PlayPad
PlayPad is a multi-chain launchpad for specific projects, regardless of the blockchain used on the metaverse. While current platforms focus on specific chains, PlayPad can host all projects through Ethereum EVM support, regardless of their chain. The blockchain chosen by each project must be reliable, but since this is not always the case, PlayPad will conduct a due diligence process for each of the selected projects. It will engage potential participants in full transparency. To gain access to PlayPad launchpad, participants will need to stake a predetermined amount of PlayPad tokens (PPAD). This said, PlayPad will not be limited to a launchpad and will continue to evolve towards the goal of creating a full ecosystem with KYC standards, DEX, and game development on different platforms and bridges.

Blocks Of Time announces a decentralized Time Capsule built for the People

Blocks Of Time announced on Tuesday, in preparation for its launch, that it will be releasing a decentralized time capsule. Built on the Tezos blockchain, Blocks Of Time will allow individuals to upload their personal stories on the blockchain for future generations to read. The goal of Blocks Of Time is to urge storytelling, share meaningful experiences and redefine what it means to build a legacy. All inputs are stored immutably and securely on the Tezos protocol.

Blocks Of Time plans to roll out its V1 decentralized app (dApp) in Q4 2021. In this launch, it will have the ability to upload stories to the blockchain, in addition to a running feed of stories for all users to see. In V2, they will create a hash search feature and compatibility for photos and PDF’s. Later on in their roadmap, they expect to create support for turning stories into NFTs, encrypted stories to open on a set date (like a real time capsule), and a DAO token for the community.

“I’m very excited about the future for Blocks Of Time,” said Adam Shinder, CEO. “We really believe that Tezos is the premier blockchain to host this project, as the ability to self-upgrade ensures our memories will stand the test of time.” When asked about the goals for the project, Shinder reinforced the community idea. “We are a project completely designed to showcase every individual’s story. These stories aren’t just for the community members to learn from, but for our children and grandchildren. The platform charges no fee to incentivize the addition of new stories and promote community growth. Our project will only just begin to achieve its goals when in two or three generations, our great-grandchildren will search through our life stories and learn from them.”

Blocks Of Time was incubated by Tezos Israel, a blockchain innovation lab in Tel Aviv that works with startups, corporates, and governments to find better business solutions through blockchain technology. Blocks Of Time was the first recipient of Tezos Israel’s small grants program.
