SINGAPORE peer-to-peer lender Validus Capital in March registered a 50 to 75 per cent jump in applications for unsecured loans, a sign of credit demand from cash-strapped enterprises hit by the virus outbreak.
The stronger pipeline of such "credit-approved" borrowing requests - which include working capital loans via invoice financing - come from small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that include those rejected by banks when applying for existing liquidity relief, said Validus co-founder Nikhilesh Goel.
