    SINGAPORE'S largest peer-to-peer lending platform Validus Capital is confident of inking serious collaborations with Singapore banks by early next year to tackle the pressing dearth of financing for small-and-medium enterprises (SMEs), said its top executives.

    This comes as Validus has been in talks with Singapore banks for some three years now, and is seeing a shift in attitude toward partnerships as it offers a fresh approach of assessing SMEs for financing.
